THE 14TH MAY ANNOUNCEMENT BY THE CT

IN A FEW HOURS FROM NOW, ON THE 14TH OF THIS MONTH OF MAY, THE Pi CORE TEAM WILL BE RELEASING AN ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE Pi NETWORK ECOSYSTEM WAY FORWARD. THERE ARE HIGH EXPECTATIONS FROM THE CT BY THE COMMUNITY. ALL SORTS OF SPECULATIONS ARE BEING PROJECTED. SOME HAVE EVEN GONE AHEAD TO PREEMPT WHAT THE ANNOUNCEMENT WILL BE, INCLUDING SUGGESTIONS THAT  ECOSYSTEM WILL BE "RELEASED", GCV WILL BE REVEALED, DAPPS WILL BE RELEASED, ETC. ... WELL, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG IN HAVING HIGH HOPES AFTER SIX GOOD YEARS OF MINING. BUT IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE TREAD CAREFULLY.

CT DID NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT RELEASING THE ECOSYSTEM. RATHER THEY ARE GOING TO TELL US "WHAT'S COMING NEXT".  THE EMPHASIS HERE IS ON WHAT IS COMING NEXT ON THE ECOSYSTEM AND NOT WHAT HAS ARRIVED. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THEY MAY GIVE US AN IDEA OF WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING BEHIND THE SCENE, BUT DON'T RAISE YOUR EXPECTATIONS SO HIGH THAT YOU WILL BE TERRIBLY DISAPPOINTED IF THEY DON'T COME TRUE.

IF ON THE OTHER HAND YOUR EXPECTATIONS COME TRUE IN THIS ANNOUNCEMENT, PLEASE KNOW THAT GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO BE A TOOL IN HIS HANDS TO BLESS HUMANITY. DON'T BE A DISAPPOINTMENT TO GOD.

THE Pi NETWORK PROJECT IS A VERY LONG TERM PROJECT AND YOU MAY NOT EXPECT EVERYTHING TO COME IMMEDIATELY. SET UP YOUR MIND TO ACCEPT WHATEVER THE ANNOUNCEMENT MAY COME WITH, WHILE YOU WAIT FOR THE BEST TO HAPPEN. REMEMBER THAT ONLY THOSE WHO ARE PATIENT WILL ENJOY THE ARRIVAL OF THE FULNESS OF THE Pi NETWORK.

ACCEPT WHATEVER THE ANNOUNCEMENT WILL COME WITH BUT KEEP HOPE ALIVE, KNOWING THAT WHENEVER Pi ARRIVES, WHETHER NOW OR IN THE FUTURE, YOU AND YOUR GENERATIONS WILL BE PERMANENTLY FINALLY EMANCIPATED!
