The planning is good, but it's a pity it's not an official announcement.

$PI 10 billion total supply... Absolutely centralized. Personal dominance. Individuals call the shots. No open source, no blockchain spirit. Major institutions won't buy in. Most mining members are pyramid scheme leaders. All criminals. They all want to get rich overnight, trying to eat the flesh of big capital institutions?? Old men and women are thinking wildly, aiming to harvest $3.14 million from institutional capital. How much do you think he's worth? According to the data, a pyramid scam with a total supply of 10 billion is worth $0.000001.
