$PI I’ve been thinking about several questions: Is the reason Pi is currently not open source and its nodes have not taken over the network that its roadmap and direction have been completely different from those of the traditional crypto industry from the very beginning? In the traditional crypto industry, projects usually attract participants by open-sourcing first, much like a shopping mall: it opens its doors first, lets merchants move in, and then gradually improves the details. Pi Network, however, has remained in a pilot-operation phase, continuously refining the details, use cases after the mall’s official opening, and supporting services throughout the trial period, while considering things from the perspectives of both merchants and consumers. Once it officially opens, it will be a complete ecosystem, eliminating as many potential problems as possible before they arise. There are not many merchants moving in, and consumers are also waiting to see what exactly Pi Network is planning. If the original design philosophy was to perfect everything before opening, this cycle will indeed be quite long. Over time, merchants and consumers may feel that there is little incentive. But once it officially begins operations, given advantages such as complete mall infrastructure, a favorable business environment, a comfortable and safe shopping environment, strict qualification checks for resident merchants, guaranteed product quality, fair operating rules, secure and reliable sources of funds, accessible support services for people with disabilities, and shopping, transaction, and delivery efficiency clearly superior to that of traditional malls, could it attract merchants to move in and consumers to flood in? Like Pangdonglai? However, if it really has to wait until everything is perfected before opening, there is indeed a long road ahead, especially for the early partners and merchants who are investing real money. I wonder how much longer they can hold on.
