how to sell pi coins at high rate quickly.DOT TECH
Where can I sell my pi coins at a high rate.
Pi is not launched yet on any exchange. But one can easily sell his or her pi coins to investors who want to hold pi till mainnet launch.
This means crypto whales want to hold pi. And you can get a good rate for selling pi to them. I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi vendor below.
A vendor is someone who buys from a miner and resell it to a holder or crypto whale.
Here is the telegram contact of my vendor:

As of my last update, Pi is still in the testing phase and is not tradable on any exchanges.
However, Pi Network has announced plans to launch its Testnet and Mainnet in the future, which may include listing Pi on exchanges.
The current method for selling pi coins involves exchanging them with a pi vendor who purchases pi coins for investment reasons.
If you want to sell your pi coins, reach out to a pi vendor and sell them to anyone looking to sell pi coins from any country around the globe.
Below is the contact information for my personal pi vendor.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.
how can i use my minded pi coins I need some funds.DOT TECH
If you are interested in selling your pi coins, i have a verified pi merchant, who buys pi coins and resell them to exchanges looking forward to hold till mainnet launch.

@Pi_vendor_247
what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

Yes. You can sell your pi network coins in South Korea or any other country, by finding a verified pi merchant
What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.
Since there is no pre-sale, the only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners. So a pi merchant facilitates these transactions by acting as a bridge for both transactions.

1. Entrepreneurship: 7 Core Pillars (Personal Beliefs)
Danny Moore – Founder, Lough Shore Ltd
w: loughshore.co - Tw: @loughshore
2. A little background…
• From Glenavy, Co. Antrim.
• Studied Queen‟s University, Belfast.
• Joined First Derivatives Plc in January 2001,
with a focus on New York from early 2002.
• Joined Wombat as the second FTE in Jan
2004, based in New York.
• Wombat was acquired by NYSE in 2008.
• Became COO of NYSE Technologies
through to April 2010.
• Founded Lough Shore Investments in
November 2010.
w: loughshore.co - Tw: @loughshore
3. Pillar 1: Be brave and go for it
• There are thousands of armchair generals
when it comes to business, it‟s easy to talk a
good fight without ever getting out there and
onto the battlefield.
• Dare to dream, most people underestimate
what can be achieved in 10 years (and
overestimate what can be achieved in 1
year).
• Most people will try to talk you out of it, be
brave and stay the course.
• Risk management is key, always
understand, “What‟s the worst that could
happen!?”
Rams Island, Christmas Day 2010
w: loughshore.co - Tw: @loughshore
4. Pillar 2: It is all about the team
• Building a world class technology business is
about building a world class team.
• Find a partner in crime, then build a core team
of five.
• Find like-minded people, with positive energy
(“fire in their bellies”), work rate, and a
penchant for getting stuff done.
• Get the right people on the bus! (and wrong
people off the bus) - Jim Collins
Golden Rules:
• Hiring (and retention) are defining skills.
• “A‟s hire A‟s and B‟s hire C‟s” – Steve Jobs
• Remember the "Birds of a feather” principle.
• Mentors are key, Aristotle mentored
Alexander the Great.
• Slow to hire, quick to fire.
w: loughshore.co - Tw: @loughshore
5. The Dream Team, March 2008
w: loughshore.co - Tw: @loughshore
6. Pillar 3: Is there money in it?
• This should be every entrepreneurs first question,
often though, it‟s their last.
• Ask yourself, what‟s unique about your business?
Who‟s your competition?
• Can the business model (and company) scale even if
there is a potential market?
• „A mediocre company in a storming sector will often
give a much better return than the best run business
in a dying sector‟ – Warren Buffet
• Wombat was the next interation of a proven model:
• Every decade (going back centuries) a new
player emerges and iterates the model.
• TIBCO & Rich Systems Inc. were examples of
this in the 1980s & 1990s.
• We were a combative customer focused fintech
company in a marketplace that was very lucrative
for winners.
w: loughshore.co - Tw: @loughshore
7. Pillar 4: Always Be Closing (ABC)
• If you are not closing deals you‟re running a
research project (or hobby), not a business.
• Deals are the lifeblood of any business.
• Closing deals early and consistently can have
a massive impact on cash flow, balance sheet
growth, business scalability, retention of
equity and perhaps most important, product
direction.
• Always be delivering, sourcing great talent,
finishing projects, engaging with customers,
communicating & fund raising.
• There are lots of starters out there, to make it
big, an entrepreneur needs to be a great
finisher too (see right!).
w: loughshore.co - Tw: @loughshore
8. Pillar 5: The Dreamweaver
(I sell dreams…)
In 1961, President Ford’s dream was a
Kennedy told America car for every
he would put a man on household in rural
the moon within ten America, the first truly
years. They did it in
nine. affordable automobile.
• Build a vision which resonates with a key pain point or aspiration.
• Communicate this vision to the team, customers, industry, competitors, investors &
potential hires.
• The entrepreneur with the strongest vision wins!
w: loughshore.co - Tw: @loughshore
9. Pillar 6: Compound growth
Einstein considered Buffet’s life story “The
compound interest “the snowball”.
most powerful force in
the universe”.
• To make it big in the medium term, entrepreneurs need to understand the power of
compound growth (including how it relates to building a balance sheet).
• It is a concept that‟s fundamental to growing a customer base, cash flow, team,
balance sheet, & retaining equity.
• Small changes in level of debt, revenue growth, margin, return on equity, have
massive impacts on how a business scales in the medium term.
w: loughshore.co - Tw: @loughshore
10. Pillar 7: Mr Consistency
• Get the small calls right and grind out the
results, consistently. Day after day, week
after week, year after year.
• It‟s all about base hits and RBIs (i.e. take
the base hits and the home runs will
come). Or, as they say in Ireland, take
your points and the goals will come!
• The concept of the “flywheel” is key,
aggregating hundreds of small wins to
build sustainable momentum – Jim
Collins
