What is innovative that I found about pi is the pi community is the first miner community in blockchain world, eliminate monopoly in mining which is at the same time eliminate price manipulation, you know what I mean right, especially Bitcoin the price is too volatile because of price manipulation. I think if DeFi and Staking available in pi community, it will attract more pi user. Never let pi coin to become one of the speculator instrument because the pi price become too volatile like Bitcoin.
The first step is pi community must self sufficient first, produce goods and services independently without fiat interference, the best goods and services is kind of franchise, we still need fiat but through indirectly way, my suggestion is, Let say 1 pi always equal to 100 usd value of Bitcoin ( or any coin ), if somebody need 1 pi then he/she need to pay with bitcoin (or any coin ) with 100 usd value. pi must emulate fully the fiat community in order become self sufficient but globalists and governments will never allow this to happen
