Binance’s $6.3 Billion Hacking Incident: Why the Future of Digital Currency Should Not Depend on Centralized Exchanges On October 29, 2026, Binance, one of the world's leading cryptocurrency trading platforms, reportedly experienced a major cybersecurity incident involving approximately $6.3 billion in digital assets. This incident once again raised serious concerns about the security of centralized cryptocurrency platforms and the risks associated with concentrating digital assets within centralized systems. However, this event should make us think beyond the security of one exchange. There is a much more fundamental question we need to consider: Is the ultimate purpose of digital currency to be traded and speculated on through exchanges, or to serve as a medium of exchange that enables people to transfer value directly to one another? 1. The Persistent Security Risks of Centralized Exchanges Over the years, the cryptocurrency industry has experienced repeated hacking incidents and major security breaches. Despite continuous technological improvements, cybersecurity threats have never completely disappeared. Attack methods are becoming increasingly sophisticated, targeting digital wallets, system vulnerabilities, authorization mechanisms, and third-party infrastructure. As digital asset holdings and transaction volumes expand, the potential financial consequences of security failures become increasingly significant. These events remind us that the future of digital currency should not be built around excessive dependence on centralized platforms. The question is not simply how to make centralized exchanges safer, but whether the entire digital currency economy should depend so heavily on them in the first place. 2. The True Purpose of Digital Currency Is to Serve as a Medium of Exchange What is the fundamental function of money? It is exchange. People use money to purchase goods, pay for services, and conduct business. Digital currencies should fulfill the same fundamental economic function. We should be building an economy that enables direct peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions: Consumers can pay merchants directly through their digital wallets. Merchants can pay suppliers directly. Individuals can transfer digital currency directly to one another. People across different countries can exchange value through blockchain networks. This means that not every digital currency transaction needs to pass through a centralized exchange. Direct wallet-to-wallet transactions are an essential application of digital currency as a medium of exchange. 3. Centralized Exchanges Can Exist, but They Should Not Become the Center of the Digital Currency Economy We do not deny the current role of centralized exchanges. At this stage, they continue to provide trading services, liquidity, and price discovery. However, centralized exchanges should not become the only center of the digital currency economy. As digital wallets, blockchain payments, and commercial applications develop, consumers and merchants, businesses and suppliers, and individuals around the world should increasingly be able to exchange value directly. Our long-term direction should be to reduce excessive dependence on centralized trading platforms and enable digital currencies to function independently as mediums of exchange. Of course, P2P transactions also require secure wallets, private-key protection, and reliable blockchain infrastructure. 4. Pi Network: Giving Ordinary People a Fair Opportunity to Participate in the Digital Economy One of the important aspects of Pi Network is its opportunity to bring ordinary people into the digital economy. The digital economy should not be a game reserved exclusively for wealthy investors, financial institutions, and professional traders. Ordinary workers, consumers, small business owners, and people without substantial financial resources should also have a fair opportunity to participate. Pi's relatively low participation barrier provides ordinary people around the world with an opportunity to access and participate in the emerging digital economy. This is why large-scale adoption is important. We need more users, more merchants, more wallet usage, more payment applications, and more real commercial transactions. At present, the Pi ecosystem still needs continued expansion, education, and practical application development. Our objective is to help Pi move beyond being merely a digital asset that people hold and toward becoming a digital currency that genuinely serves its function as a medium of exchange. 5. Moving from Exchange Prices to Real Economic Circulation This is precisely the direction that the Global GCV Movement has been promoting. Through GCV education, the Global Industry Alliance, merchandise exchanges, and practical payment applications, we aim to encourage the integration of Pi into real economic activities. Our goal is not to turn every Pioneer into a trader. Our goal is to enable more people to become consumers, merchants, service providers, and active participants in the digital economy. The future of digital currency should not be defined merely by numbers displayed on exchange platforms. It should be defined by the real exchange of value between people around the world. Exchanges may continue to exist, but they should not be a necessary condition for digital currencies to perform their economic functions. Peer-to-peer circulation, direct payments, real goods and services exchanges, and global commercial applications are the future we should work together to build. Let digital currency return to its fundamental purpose as a medium of exchange. Let ordinary people have a fair opportunity to participate. Let digital currency facilitate more direct value exchange throughout the global economy. We are not trying to create more traders. We are working toward an economy in which ordinary people around the world can become active participants in the digital economy. This is an important direction for the long-term development of Pi Network and the purpose behind the Global GCV Movement's commitment to GCV education and global economic ecosystem development.

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT Clarification Regarding Nonny Padja’s Independent Development and the Fundamental Principles of the Global GCV Movement Originally, I had no intention of making the matter concerning Nonny Padja’s departure from the Global GCV Movement public. I chose to remain silent because I wanted to respect her past contributions and preserve her personal reputation. I did not wish to publicly discuss internal differences or create unnecessary controversy. However, after seeing the articles and statements she published today, I believe they could cause misunderstandings within the global Pioneer community regarding me and the Global GCV Movement. In particular, they may give people the impression that I restricted her ability to share technical information about Pi Network or deprived her of her personal freedom. To ensure that the facts are accurately understood and to prevent misunderstandings about my position and the principles of the Global GCV Movement, I believe it is necessary to make this official clarification. This announcement is not intended to attack anyone or dismiss her past contributions. It is simply to clarify the actual reasons behind our differences and explain the fundamental principles of our movement. 1. I Have Never Restricted Technical Sharing First, I want to make this absolutely clear: I have never opposed or restricted her from sharing technical knowledge, technical developments, or information related to Pi Network. On the contrary, I have always supported the sharing of technical knowledge, encouraged communication and learning among Pioneers, and welcomed greater understanding of Pi Network technology and ecosystem development. Technical sharing has never been the reason for our disagreement. 2. Our Actual Difference: Paid Subscriptions Our actual difference concerns one fundamental issue: charging people for access to content. Since its establishment, the Global GCV Movement has maintained one clear principle: ALL COMMUNITY EDUCATION, KNOWLEDGE SHARING, AND COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES MUST BE FREE. We do not solicit payments from Pioneers, require paid subscriptions, or use our community platforms to promote personal paid services. I discovered that Nonny Padja operates a paid subscription service on Facebook, where people are required to pay to access certain content. More importantly, her paid subscription links have repeatedly appeared underneath my Facebook posts and have also been shared across various community groups, directing Pioneers to her paid subscription platform. I respect her freedom to operate her own platform and develop her personal business. However, I do not agree with repeatedly promoting personal paid subscription links under my Facebook posts, on Global GCV Movement publications, or within our community groups. This is inconsistent with the fundamental principles I have established for the Global GCV Movement and violates our organizational requirements. We welcome knowledge sharing, but we do not allow our community platforms, which are established for public education and collective benefit, to be used to generate traffic for personal paid services. This is the actual difference between us. 3. Respecting Individual Freedom, While Maintaining a Like-Minded Team I want to emphasize that every Pioneer has personal freedom and the right to choose their own direction. I have never required every Pioneer to agree with my philosophy, nor have I demanded that everyone operate in the same way. Everyone has their own ideas, values, and freedom of choice. Not agreeing with my principles or choosing not to follow my organizational requirements does not make someone a bad person, nor does it mean that I dismiss their past contributions. However, I have always made one point very clear: My GCV Ambassadors and Global GCV Core Team members must be like-minded individuals who genuinely share the vision, principles, and values of the Global GCV Movement and are willing to comply with its organizational requirements. This is a fundamental requirement for anyone who chooses to join my team. I do not require everyone to follow my direction. However, those who choose to become part of my team must align with our mission and principles. Previously, I discussed this matter with her and offered three possible options: 1. Remain with the Global GCV Core Team: She could continue working with us if she was willing to respect and follow our fundamental principles and organizational requirements. 2. Become an Independent Partner: She could maintain her own platform and development direction, enjoy greater personal freedom, and continue cooperating with the Global GCV Movement as an independent partner. 3. Become Completely Independent: She could pursue her own activities and development independently, without being affiliated with the Global GCV Movement. During our discussion, she explicitly stated that she did not need my acknowledgment. Therefore, she ultimately chose the third option and decided to pursue a completely independent direction. I respect her decision and her right to choose her own path. Previously, I described the matter publicly as her resignation because I did not wish to disclose our internal differences and wanted to respect her personal choice. However, to prevent any misunderstanding, I would like to clarify that the underlying reason for this change was her decision not to accept and comply with the organizational requirements I had established, followed by her choice to pursue an independent direction. 4. Appreciation for Her Past Contributions I sincerely appreciate Nonny Padja's support and contributions to the Global GCV Movement over nearly four years. I recognize the time and effort she invested in the movement, and I respect her desire for greater independence and personal development. Everyone has the right to choose their own path. I respect her decision and wish her success in her future endeavors. Past contributions deserve appreciation, while future paths may be different. 5. My Principles Remain Unchanged Finally, I want to reaffirm my position: - I support sharing technical knowledge about Pi Network. - I support technical discussions and the exchange of information. - I encourage Pioneers to learn, communicate, and share knowledge freely. - I respect every Pioneer's personal freedom and independent development. - The Global GCV Movement remains committed to free education and free knowledge sharing. We do not charge community members. - We do not permit our community platforms to be used to promote personal paid subscription services. I do not require every Pioneer to share my vision. However, anyone who chooses to join the Global GCV Movement as a GCV Ambassador or Core Team member must be like-minded and willing to uphold our fundamental principles and organizational requirements. This is not about restricting anyone's freedom. It is about protecting the principles, direction, and mission of an organization. Our principles remain clear: FREE EDUCATION · COLLECTIVE CONTRIBUTION · LIKE-MINDED UNITY · GLOBAL CONSENSUS Thank you for your understanding and continued support. --- Doris Yin Founder & Chairperson Global GCV Movement November 5, 2026

We can respect individual independence while maintaining clear organizational boundaries and responsibilities. Doris Yin Founder & Chairperson Global GCV Movement

OFFICIAL APPOINTMENT ANNOUNCEMENT Mr. Brijesh Maloo Appointed Dean of the Global GCV Leadership School Global GCV Movement | Leadership Announcement I am pleased to officially welcome Mr. Brijesh Maloo as the Dean of the Global GCV Leadership School. I have known Mr. Maloo for approximately two years, and throughout this time, he has impressed me with his exceptional sincerity, humility, dedication, and commitment to personal growth. What makes him stand out is not simply that he listens, but that he reflects deeply on every lesson, puts what he learns into practice, and continuously examines and improves himself. He applies these principles to his daily life, business, working attitude, and interactions with others. As a result, his personal growth has been remarkable. Mr. Maloo once shared with me that he had quietly followed my work on X, carefully read my articles, and reflected on my teachings. During a difficult period in his business, when he faced the possibility of bankruptcy, he began applying these principles in his life and work. Over the following year, his circumstances improved significantly, his business recovered, and he returned to profitability. His experience strengthened his belief that genuine learning must lead to real action and practical results. This is also why he has continued to follow my guidance, even when I have offered him firm criticism. He understands that constructive criticism is an opportunity to learn, reflect, and become better. I consider Mr. Maloo an outstanding student and a committed educator who embodies the principles of continuous learning, self-discipline, and practical application. I would also like to express my sincere appreciation to Mr. Jason Wong, whose resignation from the Dean position was necessitated by a substantially increased workload and limited time. Jason has made valuable contributions to our community, and I sincerely thank him for his dedicated service. He will always be welcome to return and contribute whenever his circumstances allow. Mr. Maloo was recommended by Mr. Jason Wong, and his appointment has received my full support and the recognition of our Core Team. I am confident in his abilities, positive working attitude, and commitment to our educational mission. As Dean, Mr. Maloo will help lead the Global GCV Leadership School, strengthen our educational programs, and inspire more pioneers to transform knowledge into action, character into leadership, and personal growth into meaningful contributions to the community. I will give him my full support and confidence as he takes on this important responsibility. We look forward to welcoming Mr. Maloo to our upcoming Leadership School session, where he will participate in a special presentation and exchange with our community on the second Sunday from now. Congratulations, Mr. Brijesh Maloo! May you continue to grow in wisdom, strengthen your leadership, and help more pioneers develop the knowledge, discipline, and commitment needed to build a stronger Global GCV Movement.

Disclaimer: This appointment and certificate are for internal recognition within the Global GCV Movement only. They do not constitute financial or investment advice, official authorization, or a guarantee of financial returns.

Doris Yin Wisdom Talk #25 Those Who Fail to Plan for the Future Will Face Problems in the Present From Global Economic Crises to Pi Network: Why the World Needs a More Inclusive Digital Economy Author: Doris Yin 1. What Lies Behind Today's Global Economic Crisis? Today, countries around the world are facing rising energy prices, increasing living costs, growing government debt, and pressure on the purchasing power of their currencies. In Europe, energy prices have been affected by geopolitical conflicts, wars, and disruptions in international energy markets. Rising energy costs increase production and transportation expenses, placing additional pressure on businesses and ordinary families. At the same time, some countries have relied heavily on public spending and social welfare programs. When economic growth slows, government revenues fall short, and public spending continues to rise, fiscal pressure becomes increasingly difficult to manage. Governments may borrow more to cover budget deficits. As debt grows, interest payments consume more public resources. If borrowing and monetary expansion continue without sufficient economic growth and productivity, inflation and currency depreciation may create further challenges. This is a chain of risks the world cannot afford to ignore: rising energy costs, mounting fiscal pressure, growing debt, and declining purchasing power—all of which can affect ordinary people's lives. 2. Why Can't Governments Solve Every Problem by Providing More Money? In the past, some governments responded to social pressure by increasing welfare payments, subsidies, and public spending. These measures can provide temporary relief, but they cannot replace sustainable economic growth. When government revenues are insufficient and borrowing becomes more expensive, even established welfare systems can face serious financial constraints. Money transfers may ease immediate hardship, but lasting prosperity requires productivity, business activity, employment opportunities, and a sustainable economic foundation. Ordinary people need more than temporary assistance. They need opportunities to participate in the economy, create value, earn income, and improve their lives. Instead of waiting for governments to solve every problem, we must also explore new economic models, new forms of cooperation, and new opportunities for participation. 3. How Do Exchange Rate Risks Affect Ordinary People? In today's interconnected economy, exchange rate fluctuations affect international trade, cross-border payments, business costs, and household purchasing power. When a country's currency depreciates, imported energy, food, and raw materials may become more expensive. When a currency appreciates, its exports may become more expensive for foreign buyers. Businesses that operate internationally must also manage currency conversion costs, settlement delays, and uncertainty about the value they will receive when a payment is completed. These challenges can affect not only large corporations, but also small businesses, merchants, and ordinary consumers. Global trade has become increasingly digital, and global payments need to evolve to meet the needs of a connected world. We need payment systems that can improve transaction efficiency, reduce unnecessary friction, and create more accessible opportunities for international economic cooperation. 4. Why Do We Need Pi Network? Pi Network offers ordinary people an opportunity to participate in the emerging digital economy. Through its global community, digital currency ecosystem, and developing merchant applications, Pi Network creates opportunities to explore new ways for users and businesses to connect, transact, and cooperate across borders. Where merchants and customers can transact directly in Pi, certain transactions may reduce their dependence on conventional currency conversion. This creates opportunities to explore alternative payment arrangements and potentially reduce some transaction costs. The broader opportunity lies in building an ecosystem where digital payments support real economic activity—connecting users, merchants, products, and services across different markets. Through community education, merchant cooperation, and practical applications, pioneers can move beyond simply holding digital currency and begin exploring how to participate in economic development. Pi Network's long-term opportunity lies not only in digital currency, but also in its potential to connect people, support commercial activity, and expand access to the digital economy. The Global GCV Movement promotes GCV education, merchant cooperation, and practical economic applications. Our goal is to encourage pioneers to participate in building an ecosystem that connects digital value with real-world economic activity. 5. How Can We Build a More Inclusive Economic Future? The global economic challenges we face today remind us that governments cannot rely indefinitely on borrowing, families cannot depend entirely on subsidies, and businesses cannot ignore rising costs and financial risks. The world needs new ideas, stronger cooperation, and digital infrastructure that serves real economic needs. Pi Network provides a new avenue for ordinary people to explore participation in the digital economy. Through pioneer education, merchant partnerships, digital payment applications, and ecosystem development, we can work toward a more inclusive economic model. The future depends not only on governments and large corporations, but also on the ability of ordinary people to learn, cooperate, innovate, and create value together. True foresight means preparing for tomorrow's challenges today—not waiting until a crisis has already arrived. Instead of asking only what the world can give us, we should ask what we can build together. Through Pi Network, GCV education, and global merchant cooperation, we can explore new opportunities for ordinary people to participate in economic development, create value, and improve their lives. The goal is clear: a more inclusive digital economy in which more people have the opportunity to participate, contribute, and benefit from economic progress. Doris Yin Founder & Chairperson Global GCV Movement

Doris Yin Wisdom Talk #26 Govern Your Own Thoughts and Let Go of Resentment We should not constantly wish for evil people to suffer bad consequences. If we hold on to such thoughts, we are also creating negative karma. When negative thoughts arise in our minds, we are planting negative seeds ourselves. Instead, we should maintain a compassionate and forgiving heart and sincerely hope that they can become better people. If they encounter difficulties, we should still do our best to forgive them and help them within our means. After all, helping them means letting them go—and, at the same time, freeing ourselves. If we constantly think, “I hope they suffer the consequences of their actions soon!” that thought itself is also negative. Therefore, we must learn to let go and not allow resentment to take over our hearts. When we truly understand the laws of the universe, we recognize that whether a person does good or evil, their actions will ultimately have consequences. The universe follows its own laws. We do not need to impose our own thoughts or wishes upon others, nor should we spend our days hoping to see them punished. What we truly need to do is govern ourselves. Control your own thoughts. Do not harbor evil intentions. Do not create negative karma. Do not allow yourself to become trapped in resentment. Whether others experience the consequences of their actions is their own responsibility. The law of cause and effect follows its own principles. Whatever causes a person creates, they must ultimately face the corresponding consequences. Those who commit harmful acts must eventually take responsibility for the causes they have created. Today, I simply want to share one essential principle with everyone: Govern your own thoughts. Maintain compassion and forgiveness. Let go of resentment. Do not allow the wrongdoings of others to lead you into negative thoughts or cause you to create negative karma yourself. Author: Doris Yin

Spiritual Cultivation #5 Virtue, Karma, and the Wisdom of Forbearance Author: Doris Yin Another important principle is that when other people do something wrong, we should not spread their mistakes everywhere. This is a matter of virtue. We must preserve our own virtue. If you constantly talk about other people's faults, spread rumors, insult them, and publicize their mistakes, you will damage your own blessings and gradually exhaust the blessings you have accumulated. You may even turn your blessings into negative karma. Why is society's moral climate so poor today? Because too many people are eager to spread negative stories about others and expose their mistakes. Everyone has shortcomings, including ourselves. What good does it do to embarrass someone else? We should learn to put ourselves in other people's shoes. If we do not want others to expose our faults, we should not do the same to them. Of course, constructive criticism is acceptable, but personal attacks are not. We must never attack another person's character. If someone's mistakes have seriously misled others, we should point out the problems so people can understand the truth. I have seen many people attack, insult, and defame me. They make up stories and try to bring me down. But there is a profound principle behind this: their actions may actually help me. Why? When someone is unfairly attacked, those who spread malicious stories and insult others are creating negative karma for themselves. According to the Buddhist understanding of cause and effect, these actions may bring consequences in this life and future lives. Meanwhile, the person being attacked can turn these experiences into opportunities to cultivate merit, provided they remain open-minded and do not develop resentment. Do you understand? Other people's attacks may actually help you cultivate greater merit, become more successful, and move forward more smoothly in life. Your appearance and demeanor may even become more dignified and radiant. This is what Buddhism calls Kṣānti Pāramitā, the Perfection of Forbearance. Sometimes, you do not even need to endure anything because you simply do not take these attacks to heart. You can smile and let them go. You can even be grateful because these experiences give you opportunities to cultivate yourself and deepen your spiritual practice. Only a foolish person believes that attacking others will guarantee success or bring them down. In reality, the other person may become even more successful because they have learned to remain calm, maintain a broad mind, and refuse to be controlled by others' negativity. Of course, if someone takes every insult to heart and cannot let go of the hurt, they may suffer serious psychological distress. This is why we must learn to protect our minds and not allow other people's behavior to destroy our inner peace. You must understand the principles of life, recognize cause and effect, preserve your virtue, and cultivate your mind without allowing resentment to take root. When you truly understand these principles, you will no longer be so troubled by other people's attacks or allow their words and actions to control your inner state. Do not spread other people's wrongdoing. Do not attack their character. Preserve your virtue and cultivate your own mind. This is true wisdom. — Doris Yin

GCV Pioneer Community Education Series #142 Never Forget Your Roots: Gratitude, Integrity, and Respect In traditional Chinese culture, there are two important teachings: “饮水思源” — When drinking water, remember its source. “滴水之恩，当涌泉相报” — A drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude. These teachings remind us that no matter how far we go or how much we achieve in life, we must never forget our roots. We must never forget our parents, our ancestors, our country, or the people who have helped us, supported us, and given us opportunities and trust along our journey. A person of good character understands gratitude. A person of wisdom knows how to appreciate others. And a person with true dignity respects those who have contributed to their growth. Everyone is entitled to different opinions, but nobody should abandon the fundamental principles of being a decent human being. If you disagree with certain ideas, you have every right to express your opinions. If you no longer agree with an organization's direction, you are free to leave and pursue your own path. These are fundamental freedoms that should be respected. However, disagreement does not give anyone the right to defame, insult, spread rumors about, or deliberately attack others. Choosing to leave an organization does not justify harming the people who once supported you and gave you opportunities. We must understand one important principle: Different opinions deserve respect. But ingratitude should never be encouraged, and personal freedom should never become an excuse for deliberately harming others. If someone builds their so-called success by attacking, undermining, or destroying other people, that success has already lost its true value. Genuine success should not be measured only by what a person achieves, but also by whether they maintain their integrity, conscience, and gratitude throughout their journey. In life, we should always remember three fundamental questions: - Where did we come from? - What made us who we are today? - Where are we going? This is also why any organization built upon shared values and common goals must have a clear founding vision, fundamental principles, and a consistent strategic direction. Everyone has the right to independent thinking and personal judgment. Everyone may choose a different path. However, when we voluntarily join an organization, we should respect its founding philosophy, organizational principles, and established direction. If our values and visions are no longer aligned, we can respectfully go our separate ways or maintain a cooperative relationship based on mutual respect. There is no need to attack one another, and certainly no need to use defamation or false accusations to discredit others. A person with genuine cultivation does not lose respect because of disagreements. A person with virtue does not forget kindness when personal interests change. A person with wisdom understands when to advance, when to step back, and how to remain grateful. We can pursue greater achievements in life, but we must never lose our roots. A person's greatest wealth is not merely knowledge, ability, position, or achievement. It is their character, conscience, integrity, and gratitude. Never forget your roots. Never forget those who helped you. Never sacrifice your principles and humanity in the pursuit of personal interests. This is the essence of true education and a principle of personal cultivation that we should uphold throughout our lives. Doris Yin

GCV Pioneer Community Education Series #143 True Strength Comes from Shared Values, Common Goals, and Collective Action 1. Numbers Alone Do Not Represent Strength What is the true strength of an organization? Is it the number of members it has? The number of followers on social media? Or the impressive titles and influence it displays to the outside world? My answer is clear: None of these alone represents true strength. An organization’s real strength comes from shared values, common beliefs, common goals, and the collective efforts of its members to achieve those goals. There is a Chinese expression, Wu He Zhi Zhong (乌合之众), which refers to an unorganized crowd without common principles or direction. A group of people without shared values, common objectives, or organizational principles cannot accomplish much, regardless of how large it becomes. Having many followers does not necessarily mean having a strong organization. A large membership does not automatically translate into unity, commitment, or real contributions. When a group focuses only on numbers and superficial influence without a solid foundation of shared values, it can easily become vulnerable to personal interests and exploitation. Some individuals may even misuse the trust and influence of a large following to deceive others. Therefore, we must never measure organizational success by numbers alone. We need quality growth, not merely numerical growth. 2. Shared Values Are the Foundation of an Organization The Global GCV Movement was not established to pursue empty titles, display how many members or followers we have, or create an illusion of superficial prosperity. I do not want to exploit people's trust, and I certainly do not want to deceive anyone. What I want is a community of people who genuinely believe in shared values, common principles, and common goals. We come together because of shared beliefs. We work toward common objectives. We grow through mutual trust, respect, and cooperation. A community with genuine unity must have a solid intellectual foundation and a clear direction for development. Everyone is entitled to independent thinking. However, when we choose to participate in a common mission, we must also respect the shared vision and fundamental principles that bring us together. Shared values establish our foundation. Common goals unite our efforts. Collective action creates real value. 3. Working Together to Make Pi Network Successful What we truly want to accomplish is to work together to help Pi Network achieve success. We do not simply want the Pi Pioneer Community to achieve collective progress. We also want every individual who genuinely contributes to this mission to grow, develop their abilities, realize their potential, and achieve personal success. We should not passively wait for others to create opportunities for us. Instead, we should actively learn, participate, contribute, and build. Everyone can contribute according to their abilities, experience, and respective fields. Some may focus on education, others on technology, merchant expansion, ecosystem development, community building, management, or international cooperation. Every genuine contribution has value. Our goal is to build a global community where people can learn together, build together, grow together, and create value together. 4. Contributing to Solutions for Global Economic and Monetary Challenges More importantly, through our collective efforts, we hope to explore new possibilities for global economic development. The world is facing increasingly complex economic challenges. Traditional monetary systems are also experiencing significant pressures, including changes in purchasing power, debt burdens, inflation, and challenges within the international monetary system. These are not problems that any single country or community can solve independently. Through the collective efforts of the Pi Pioneer Community, we hope to promote the development of the digital economy, community-based economies, and practical commercial applications. We want to contribute our knowledge, ideas, and efforts toward addressing global economic and monetary challenges. This is the kind of long-term vision we should be working toward. 5. True Strength Comes from Shared Beliefs and Collective Action I have always believed that a meaningful and sustainable global organization should not simply be a large gathering of people. It should be a community of individuals with shared values, independent thinking, principles, responsibility, and the ability to take action. We do not need an unorganized crowd. We need people with vision, integrity, responsibility, execution, and a genuine commitment to common goals. Membership can continue to grow, but our shared values must never be lost. The organization can continue to expand, but its fundamental principles must remain intact. True strength does not come from simply adding more people.

GCV Pioneer Community Education Series #141 What Should Pioneers Do? Why Does Pioneer Awareness Determine Pi Network’s Development? Author: Doris Yin Dear Pioneers, Many pioneers ask every day: When will KYC and migration be completed? When will Pi Network achieve mass adoption? But I want to ask everyone a question: While we are waiting for results, what are we actually doing for Pi Network? If we want Pi to develop faster, KYC and migration to progress, and Pi to become part of real economic life, we must first improve our understanding, embrace Pi’s long-term vision, and take action. 1. Three Essential Lessons Every Pioneer Must Learn Many pioneers are neither technical experts nor business owners. They may not know how to participate in ecosystem development. However, everyone can begin with the basics: 1. Study the Pi Whitepaper. Understand why Pi aims to develop as a digital currency and why traditional cryptocurrencies have not fully achieved the goal of widespread everyday currency use. 2. Study the Pioneers Handbook. Understand GCV principles and community consensus. 3. Study the GCV Pioneer Community Education Series. Deepen your understanding of Pi’s long-term vision and the responsibilities of pioneers. These three areas of learning are essential homework for every pioneer. After learning, share that knowledge with others. Forward educational articles and educate pioneers within your own communities. Even if you are not a technical expert or a merchant, you can contribute to Pi’s ecosystem through learning, sharing, and education. 2. Why Does Pioneer Awareness Matter? When pioneers truly understand Pi’s long-term vision, they will focus less on short-term prices and become more willing to learn, share, and build the ecosystem. Positive, responsible, and long-term community participation helps strengthen pioneers’ confidence and build confidence among external capital and the project team in the community’s long-term development. As awareness grows and more users, merchants, and real-world applications participate, we can create better conditions for Pi’s mass adoption and a more supportive environment for KYC and migration progress. Confidence comes from awareness. Awareness drives action. Action advances ecosystem development. 3. Don’t Blame the Person Teaching You to Farm When You Refuse to Plant Imagine a farmer who refuses to learn, plant seeds, or water the fields, yet asks every day when the harvest will come. Someone patiently teaches him how to farm, but instead of taking action, he complains: “You only talk. What have you done yourself?” You refuse to farm, yet blame the person teaching you how to farm! I continuously write the Pioneer Community Education Series to explain why pioneers must learn, understand Pi’s vision, and recognize what each of us can do to support Pi’s development. I am teaching pioneers how to farm, not merely talking about the harvest. 4. Become a Builder of Pi Network Starting Today If we want Pi to develop faster, KYC and migration to progress, and pioneers to have opportunities to participate in the future ecosystem economy, we must start by doing what we can today. First learn, then understand. First understand, then share. Through education, help more pioneers participate in building the ecosystem. Instead of only asking when the harvest will come, ask yourself: What seeds have I planted for Pi’s future today? A pioneer’s responsibility is not merely to wait for Pi’s future, but to help build that future through awareness and action. Doris Yin

Doris Yin’s Friday Message to Pioneers Community Education Is the Foundation of Pi Network’s Success Dear Pioneers, My Pioneers Community Education Series lays the foundation for Pi Network’s long-term success. My Pioneers Handbook was created to support GCV success, and we have reached our goal. Now, we are entering the next important stage: helping Pi Network achieve massive adoption through community education. Every Pioneer has a responsibility to study the educational materials deeply, understand the vision, and put that knowledge into practice. Your homework is simple: Study deeply, understand clearly, and support Pi’s long-term vision through action. The future of Pi Network depends on our collective understanding, participation, and commitment. Let us continue learning, growing, and building together! Study Today. Adopt Tomorrow. Build the Future of Pi! Doris Yin

Doris Yin Wisdom Talk #22 Don't Lose the Big Picture by Focusing on the Small Things Dear Pioneers, Today, I want to share an important lesson with everyone: Don't lose sight of the forest for the trees. Don't get caught up in minor details and forget the bigger picture! In the Pi community, some influencers and bloggers spend their days analyzing issues and debating details while overlooking the direction that truly matters. You can research endlessly and analyze every little detail, but if you fail to understand the big picture, you will keep moving in circles without making real progress. So, what is our ultimate goal? Our goal is to make Pi a currency with real purchasing power, creating opportunities for Pioneers to achieve financial freedom through the growth of the ecosystem. For Pi to have purchasing power, it needs a stable and widely recognized value. This is precisely why we are building GCV — Global Consensus Value. However, GCV alone is not enough! Having a value consensus means little if people are unwilling to accept or use Pi. Without widespread acceptance and practical use, real purchasing power cannot be established. Our mission is to promote the widespread adoption and practical use of Pi, enabling more people to accept it and more merchants to integrate it into everyday economic activities. So, how do we achieve this goal? First, Pioneers must support Pi's long-term vision and actively participate in building the ecosystem. Greater community participation can help create a stronger foundation for accelerating KYC and migration progress. Second, we need a sufficiently large community united by a shared vision, positive thinking, and a constructive attitude toward Pi's future. As more Pioneers participate and more merchants accept Pi, we can gradually establish a stronger economic foundation. As the user base expands, practical applications grow, and the merchant ecosystem develops, governments, banks, major institutions, and businesses will have more opportunities to recognize Pi's potential value and evaluate participation with greater confidence. This is the path we must pursue: from consensus to acceptance, from acceptance to use, and from use to widespread adoption — gradually building an economic ecosystem in which Pi has real purchasing power. Let me use a ship as an analogy. The Core Team provides the blockchain, nodes, code, and other technical tools. Think of these tools as a ship built to take us toward our destination. But no matter how well the ship is built, if nobody gets on board and nobody sets sail, we will never reach the other shore. Technology provides the foundation. GCV represents our effort to establish value consensus. The participation of Pioneers, merchant acceptance, and real economic activity are essential to moving the ecosystem forward. Looking back at the First and Second Industrial Revolutions, we can see the same principle: technological progress must be combined with human participation and practical application to translate into productive power. So, Pioneers, do not spend all your energy getting lost in minor details. We need technical research, but we must also maintain the right direction, unite around a shared vision, and take meaningful action. Remember: Don't lose the big picture by focusing on the small things. See the forest, not just the trees. Unite our community, promote Pi's widespread adoption, and build real purchasing power. That is how we can move step by step toward the financial freedom we aspire to achieve! — Doris Yin

Doris Yin: What China’s History of Unity Teaches Us About Pi Network’s Global Vision Education Is the Foundation. Consensus Is Our Strength. — The Fair Opportunity You Seek May Be Right Before Your Eyes. 1. Lessons from Chinese History: Culture and Education Can Unite Different Peoples Throughout thousands of years of Chinese history, Chinese civilization has experienced dynastic changes, wars, division, and the integration and unification of different peoples. Although rulers and political systems changed, Chinese civilization continued and gradually developed a shared cultural identity. Several important historical examples demonstrate the role of culture, education, and common values in bringing different peoples together. The Reforms of Emperor Xiaowen of Northern Wei: The Xianbei People Embraced Han Chinese Culture The Northern Wei dynasty was established by the Xianbei people. Emperor Xiaowen introduced major reforms, moved the capital to Luoyang, encouraged the use of the Chinese language, adopted Han Chinese surnames, reformed clothing and customs, and promoted the study of Han Chinese culture and institutions among Xianbei elites. Emperor Xiaowen did not unify all of China, but his reforms promoted cultural exchange and integration in northern China and significantly influenced the development of Chinese civilization. The Yuan Dynasty: Mongol Rule and the Unification of China The Yuan dynasty was established by the Mongols. In 1279, the Yuan completed its conquest of the Southern Song and established unified rule over the principal territories of China, becoming one of the major dynasties founded by a non-Han people. The Qing Dynasty: Manchu Rule and the Continuation of Chinese Cultural Traditions The Qing dynasty was established by the Manchus. While preserving aspects of their own traditions, Qing rulers adopted many established Chinese systems of governance, emphasized Confucian classics and education, and continued traditional civil administration through institutions such as the imperial examination system. Throughout history, the Mongols, Manchus, and other ethnic groups all contributed to the development of Chinese civilization. Through periods of conflict, exchange, institutional adaptation, and cultural integration, different peoples became part of the broader historical and cultural development of China. The most important lesson is this: the continuity of a civilization or political system depends not only on military strength and institutions, but also on cultural transmission, education, and the development of shared values. Emperor Xiaowen’s reforms promoted integration in northern China, while the Yuan and Qing dynasties established unified imperial rule over China. Although their political systems and relationships among ethnic groups differed, Confucian thought, classical education, traditional governing institutions, and the lasting influence of Chinese culture all played important roles in the historical development and integration of China. This demonstrates that people from different ethnic groups and backgrounds can gradually develop a shared identity through education, communication, and common cultural understanding. Lasting unity requires more than people living on the same land. It requires people from different backgrounds to understand a shared culture, embrace common values, and move toward a common direction. Today, Pi Network’s global community needs the same kind of shared understanding, a consistent educational foundation, and a clear global vision. Pioneers from different countries, languages, and cultural backgrounds can build stronger relationships and unite their efforts through continuous education and communication. 2. Why Are More People Losing Hope for the Future? Dear European Pioneers and Pioneers around the world, Take a serious look at the world today. More and more young people graduate from universities but cannot find suitable jobs. Many spend years studying and carry the hopes of their families, only to discover that it is difficult to obtain employment and income that match their efforts. Prices continue to rise. Housing is increasingly unaffordable. Energy and living costs put growing pressure on ordinary households. Many people work hard but struggle to improve their lives. Young people study diligently yet remain uncertain about their futures. They begin to ask themselves: What was the point of studying so hard? When will I be able to afford my own home? Will I ever have a real opportunity to change my life? Behind these questions lie deep anxiety about the future and a desire for social fairness and economic opportunity. Protests in France and other European countries have raised concerns about living costs, employment prospects, public services, housing, and social fairness. People want their voices to be heard. They want better living conditions and a brighter future for the next generation. People are seeking more than higher incomes. They are seeking fair opportunities, dignity, and hope. Yet rising prices, employment pressures, unequal wealth distribution, and unequal access to opportunities are deeply rooted and complex problems. Governments can introduce policies, and businesses can create jobs, but economic structures, resource allocation, global markets, and the accumulation of wealth make these problems difficult to resolve quickly. In the traditional economic system, wealth often brings access to more resources, better education, broader networks, and more investment opportunities. Wealthy individuals can use their existing capital to generate additional returns. Ordinary people, meanwhile, may spend decades working and saving to accumulate comparatively limited assets. When the resources a person is born into can significantly influence the opportunities available throughout their life, how can we speak of a truly fair competition? This is a question we must seriously consider today. 3. Where Can We Find Fairness? Pi Network Offers an Opportunity Worth Cherishing In the real world, absolute equality is extremely difficult to achieve. People with wealth have more capital and more investment opportunities. Those with greater resources can access better education, build wider networks, and use their existing wealth to accumulate even more. Even money deposited in a bank can generate interest, allowing people with substantial capital to continue building their wealth. Meanwhile, a recent university graduate without work experience, capital, or established connections may struggle to access the same starting point and opportunities, even when they work just as hard. So where can ordinary people look for new opportunities? I want every Pioneer to think seriously about this question. Pi Network offers an opportunity worth cherishing: ordinary people do not need to be wealthy or possess special social connections to participate in a global digital ecosystem. As long as you have a mobile phone capable of running the Pi app, even an older phone, you can participate in basic mining. You do not need to purchase expensive specialized mining equipment or bear the high hardware and electricity costs associated with traditional proof-of-work mining. Basic Pi mining does not require you to pay a fee. You only need to spend approximately one second a day tapping the app to continue participating in basic mining. One phone. One second a day. Zero cost to participate in basic mining! This is one of the features that makes Pi Network particularly accessible to ordinary people. For young people without jobs or capital, families with limited incomes, and people living in countries with different economic conditions, such a low barrier to entry is meaningful. You do not need to become wealthy before you are allowed to participate. You do not need to possess social influence before you can join a global community. Participation in Pi Network does not guarantee that everyone will become wealthy. However, it offers an entry point for people to learn, participate, and contribute to building a shared ecosystem. You can start by learning, joining the community, connecting with people from other countries, and exploring potential economic cooperation. GCV education and community-building activities also do not require Pioneers to pay for participation qualifications. Our goal is to connect merchants with Pioneers, encourage Pi payments and real-world transactions, and gradually build an economic network based on mutual benefit. When an opportunity allows you to learn, build connections, and participate in something together without requiring an upfront financial investment, why not take the time to understand it? This is the opportunity I hope European Pioneers and Pioneers around the world will cherish. Do not dismiss it simply because it is free. Do not reject its potential simply because the ecosystem is still developing. The fair opportunity you have been searching for may be right before your eyes. First, understand it, explore it, and participate in building its value. 4. From Global Protests to Global Cooperation: We Need Solutions, Not Just Complaints When people face high living costs, unemployment, and wealth inequality, protests are one way to express their concerns. People have the right to voice their dissatisfaction and demand a fairer society. But what happens after the protests? If young people still cannot find jobs, if ordinary families still struggle to afford daily necessities, and if wealth and resources remain concentrated among a small segment of society, can expressing anger alone change these structural problems? We need more than dissatisfaction with the status quo. We need to explore solutions. If ordinary people can unite, merchants can cooperate, and communities across different countries can build relationships, could we create more opportunities for economic participation? If merchants are willing to accept Pi payments and Pioneers are willing to use Pi to purchase goods and services, real transactions can establish mutually beneficial relationships. Over time, this could help build an economic network in which communities actively participate. This is the direction I have consistently emphasized: Connect Pioneers with merchants. Connect communities with the real economy. Transform the scattered efforts of individuals into a collective force that creates value. We can start within our own communities by contacting merchants, encouraging transactions for goods and services, providing education, helping more people understand Pi’s potential applications, and gradually building economic cooperation networks. This is not about creating wealth through slogans. It is about exploring new economic opportunities through real participation, real transactions, and sustained cooperation. 5. Why Is Pi Network’s Global Vision Worth Cherishing? Today’s international economic system relies heavily on different national currencies, banking systems, and cross-border payment networks. Exchange-rate fluctuations, conversion fees, and settlement procedures can all affect the costs faced by businesses and consumers. For countries that import energy, rising international energy prices combined with a weakening domestic currency can increase import costs and ultimately affect businesses and ordinary households. If Pi achieves wider real-world adoption across more countries in the future, supported by a broad network of merchants, goods, and services, global participants could have more opportunities to conduct economic activities through a shared digital asset network. In appropriate use cases, direct Pi transactions and payments could reduce some traditional currency-conversion steps and provide an additional option for cross-border economic activity. This is a direction worth exploring in the global digital economy: giving more ordinary people opportunities to participate, helping merchants reach new customers and transaction channels, and enabling communities in different countries to create practical value through cooperation. Pi Network’s development requires continued technical progress, ecosystem expansion, real-world applications, and sustained participation. But we should not overlook a potential opportunity simply because the road ahead still requires work. We must not sit back and wait for the future to arrive. We must actively participate in building it. I believe that if Pioneers around the world remain committed to education, real-world applications, and mutually beneficial cooperation, they can help Pi’s ecosystem expand its economic participation. 6. European Pioneers and Pioneers Worldwide: Cherish This Opportunity Instead of Throwing It Away I particularly hope that European Pioneers and Pioneers around the world will seriously consider what I am saying. What are you searching for? You want fair opportunities. You want young people to find jobs. You want ordinary people to improve their lives. You want wealth and resources to stop being the only gateways to economic participation. Then, when a global digital ecosystem offers ordinary people an opportunity to participate, why not take the time to understand it first? Basic Pi mining does not require you to purchase Pi. GCV education and community-building do not require you to pay for participation qualifications. You can start by learning, joining the community, contacting merchants, and encouraging real transactions. We want to connect merchants and Pioneers so that both sides can create opportunities and value for one another, gradually developing economic cooperation networks within their communities. This requires time, action, and the participation of each of us. But if you refuse to understand the opportunity, abandon learning because of rumors, or attack and trample on something you have never genuinely tried to understand, how will you participate if meaningful progress emerges in the future? Do not complain that the world lacks fairness while casually throwing away an opportunity you can help build. Do not feel lost about the future while refusing to learn something new. Do not hope to change economic conditions while refusing to take any action. What you are searching for is not simply a project that might make money. You are searching for the possibility of participating in future economic development, creating opportunities for cooperation, and improving your life. Pi Network does not promise identical outcomes for everyone. But it offers ordinary people around the world a starting point for shared participation, learning, and ecosystem development. Cherish that starting point. 7. Education Is the Foundation. Consensus Is Our Strength. A global ecosystem cannot be built by a small group of developers or by the community of just one country. It requires the participation of Pioneers around the world. We need more users, more merchants, more real transactions, and continued progress in education, technology, and ecosystem development. Education is not an optional extra. It is the foundation of a global ecosystem. If Pioneers do not understand the project’s vision, it is difficult to develop lasting confidence. If merchants do not understand how the ecosystem works, they are less likely to participate. If communities in different countries lack a shared understanding, global cooperation becomes much harder. We must therefore continue global education so that Pioneers in every country and region can understand Pi Network’s direction, technical foundations, potential applications, and the importance of ecosystem development. Education should help Pioneers shift their attention from price alone to real-world applications, from passive waiting to active participation, and from working in isolation to global cooperation. We must help more people understand that ecosystem development is not the responsibility of a few individuals. It is a shared mission that requires the contribution of the entire community. Education builds consensus. Consensus drives action. Action builds the ecosystem. This is the direction that Pioneers around the world should work together to pursue. Conclusion: The Opportunity You Seek May Be Right Before Your Eyes People around the world are searching for new hope. Young people want a future. Ordinary families want to improve their lives. Merchants want to expand their markets. Communities in different countries want more opportunities for development. Against this background, we should seriously consider the opportunities for global participation offered by Pi Network and the digital economic ecosystem it is seeking to build. I hope European Pioneers and Pioneers around the world will cherish this opportunity, learn actively, promote education, connect merchants, participate in real transactions, and work with the global community to build the ecosystem. Do not give up too easily. Do not attack blindly. And do not wait until years later to realize that you once had the opportunity to participate in building a global economic ecosystem but walked away because you never took the time to understand it. Fair opportunities do not automatically become reality. Only when we are willing to learn, participate, cooperate, and build can opportunities have a chance to become results. Let us cross the boundaries of countries, languages, and cultures. Let us build consensus through education, advance the ecosystem through action, and explore a more inclusive digital economic future through global cooperation. Global consensus does not emerge from waiting. It is built through education, participation, and action. — Doris Yin

Doris Yin Wisdom Talk #21 Compassion Can Cause Harm; Excessive Accommodation Can Lead to Misconduct Compassion Requires Wisdom. Tolerance Requires Boundaries. Justice Requires Courage. Dear Pioneers, There is an ancient Chinese saying: “Compassion can cause harm, and excessive accommodation can lead to misconduct.” This saying does not mean that we should abandon compassion or stop helping others. Rather, it reminds us that compassion without wisdom, and tolerance without principles, can allow kindness to be exploited and turn goodwill into a tool for enabling wrongdoing. True compassion is not about accommodating everyone unconditionally. It means distinguishing right from wrong, recognizing good and evil, and protecting ourselves and others while helping those in need. 1. Kindness Must Have Boundaries In everyday life, we often encounter situations like these. Someone asks to borrow money and tells a heartbreaking story. Out of sympathy, you lend them your savings, only to find yourself struggling financially while the borrower may spend the money gambling or engaging in other irresponsible activities. Someone else promises high interest rates and paints an attractive picture of investment returns. You become excited by the opportunity, lower your guard, and eventually lose money instead of making a profit. Why does this happen? Sometimes, our sympathy is exploited, and our expectations of attractive promises overpower our rational judgment. Before helping others, understand the facts. Before trusting someone, verify the information. Never lose your judgment out of sympathy. Never trust promises blindly out of greed. And never abandon your principles simply because you are afraid of offending someone. True kindness means having the ability to help others and the wisdom to protect yourself. 2. Communities Must Uphold Principles and Protect Pioneers This principle is especially important within our communities. Some individuals may use their status, authority, reputation, influence, or large following to gain Pioneers’ trust. They may then solicit money, encourage investments, or promote projects that have not been properly verified. Some Pioneers assume that a person must be trustworthy simply because they hold a senior title, have many followers, or speak with authority. We must remain clear-minded: A title does not prove character. Reputation does not guarantee integrity. A large following does not make someone’s actions automatically right. We should judge people not merely by what they say, how much authority they hold, or how many people follow them, but by their actual conduct, financial transparency, supporting evidence for their promises, and willingness to accept oversight. If someone asks you to pay money, invest, purchase so-called qualification cards, or promises unusually high returns, verify the project’s legitimacy, the use of funds, the relevant authorization, and the potential risks first. Do not abandon your independent judgment because the person is a leader, an official, an acquaintance, or someone you do not want to offend. Communities also have a responsibility to warn Pioneers about potential risks, teach them how to recognize scams, and investigate and address concerns promptly. Appropriate action should be taken when evidence supports a violation. Suspected criminal conduct should be reported to the relevant authorities. A responsible community does not teach Pioneers to trust someone blindly. It teaches them to think independently. It does not wait until people have lost their money before taking action. It raises warnings early and works to protect every Pioneer’s financial security. Defending Justice Requires Courage There is another important issue we must confront. Some people see a problem but remain silent because they fear offending others, being attacked, or being accused of lacking compassion. They may notice someone abusing community influence or authority for personal gain but hesitate to warn others. They may see someone treated unfairly but refuse to speak up. If everyone is afraid of offending someone, who will protect those who have been harmed? If everyone remains silent to preserve superficial harmony, how can wrongdoing ever be corrected? Defending justice requires wisdom, but it also requires courage. Of course, we must never accuse people recklessly or attack others out of personal resentment. We must respect the facts, verify evidence, and handle concerns fairly. However, when the facts are clear and the evidence is sufficient, we must not abandon our responsibilities simply because we fear pressure or criticism. If someone tells you that you are not compassionate or tolerant enough, learn to distinguish genuine compassion from the use of compassion as an excuse to tolerate wrongdoing. If so-called tolerance allows a few individuals to repeatedly harm others, and if so-called compassion results in more innocent people suffering, then that tolerance has lost its true meaning. True compassion protects good people, prevents harm, and safeguards the legitimate interests of the majority. True tolerance has boundaries. True justice requires courage. 3. Governments Must Uphold the Law and Protect Society The same principle applies to an entire nation. There have been reports of vandalism, looting, and violent unrest in France and other European countries. Specific claims about the number of countries involved should be verified through reliable reporting. But one principle is clear: wherever such incidents occur, violent assaults, robbery, property destruction, and other criminal acts must be addressed according to law. If a country repeatedly tolerates violence and crime and fails to enforce its laws effectively, misconduct may go unchecked and social order can suffer serious consequences. Ordinary people may become afraid to leave their homes. Businesses may be unable to operate normally. Families may face threats to their safety and property. Over time, public confidence and trust throughout society can deteriorate. Governments therefore have a responsibility to exercise public authority lawfully, uphold the rule of law, and protect the lives, property, and legitimate rights of ordinary citizens. No one should believe that having a large crowd or creating a public disturbance gives them the right to place themselves above the law. Criminal conduct must be investigated, addressed, and prosecuted in accordance with the law. Law enforcement must be effective and fair, respect people's lawful rights, and firmly protect innocent people from violence. We must understand this: Punishing crime according to law is not a lack of compassion. Protecting law-abiding citizens is a fundamental responsibility to society. If a society emphasizes tolerance while neglecting victims’ rights, or focuses on the feelings of those who break the law while failing to protect the safety of law-abiding people, such so-called tolerance becomes a form of injustice. The law must have authority, and rules must be enforced. Only then can people live in peace, businesses operate with confidence, and society develop in a stable and orderly manner. 4. Compassion Must Walk Hand in Hand with Wisdom What is true wisdom? Wisdom means seeing the nature of a situation, discerning people's intentions, distinguishing right from wrong, and understanding the possible consequences of our actions. We should help those who genuinely need help, but we must not allow people with ulterior motives to exploit our kindness. We should give people who are willing to correct their mistakes an opportunity, but we must not endlessly tolerate repeated behavior that harms others. That is why I often remind everyone: Do not listen only to what you want to hear. An ancient Chinese saying teaches us: “Honest advice may be unpleasant to hear, but it helps us act wisely. Bitter medicine may taste unpleasant, but it helps cure illness.” Advice that genuinely benefits us may sometimes be uncomfortable. Facts we need to face may not always be what we want to hear. By contrast, sweet talk can make us feel good, and attractive promises can fill us with hope. But neither can replace facts and evidence. We must stay clear-minded, learn to think independently, avoid blindly worshipping authority, refuse to believe unverified information, and never abandon our judgment simply because we fear criticism. Wisdom prevents compassion from being exploited. Principles prevent kindness from being trampled. Courage prevents justice from being silenced. These are the abilities we must cultivate. Conclusion: Kindness Needs Principles, Compassion Needs Wisdom, and Justice Needs Courage Dear Pioneers, Whether in personal life, human relationships, community building, or national governance, we must understand one fundamental truth: Compassion does not mean accommodating everyone unconditionally. Tolerance does not mean having no boundaries. Kindness does not mean turning a blind eye to wrongdoing. We must help those who deserve help and remain alert to those who exploit the goodwill of others. We must protect every Pioneer in our community, especially their financial security. When we encounter injustice, we must have the courage to speak up. When crimes occur, we must insist on accountability under the law. Do not abandon your principles because you fear offending someone. Do not remain silent about justice because you fear being attacked. And never sacrifice the interests of the majority merely to preserve superficial harmony. Please remember: Compassion without wisdom can enable harm. Tolerance without principles can encourage wrongdoing. Justice without courage can become silence. We should be compassionate, but never blindly compassionate. We should be tolerant, but never tolerate wrongdoing without boundaries. We should be kind, but always uphold our principles. And if we are to defend justice, we must have the courage to speak the truth and protect innocent people. True compassion uses wisdom to distinguish right from wrong, principles to safeguard fairness, courage to resist injustice, and action to protect good people. Let us cultivate compassion and wisdom together, uphold our principles and boundaries, and courageously defend justice. Let us build healthier communities, a fairer society, and an environment where every ordinary person can live safely and peacefully. This is true compassion. This is true wisdom. And this is the justice we must stand together to uphold. Doris Yin
