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.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

Why is the Basque Country of interest?
• One of few regions to proactively and
consistently build an industry-focused
territorial strategy over several decades
• Strong trajectory of growth and
transformation since the mid-1980s
• Identified as a success case in several
international studies (Including studies
authored by OECD, Michael Porter and
Kevin Morgan)
• Today among the top regions in Europe in
both GDP per capita and in having a low
percentage of population at risk of poverty
or social exclusion

Key features of the Basque Territorial Strategy 1980-2008
The foundations
The 1980s
• Creation of a new regional
Administration
• Need to promote substantial industrial
restructuring in response to deep
economic crisis
The 1990s
• Strategy built around clusters
• Improve the efficiency of industry
• Foster non-R&D-based diversification
• Promote internationalization
The 2000s
• Sustained focus on innovation
• Science-driven industrial
diversification
Three distinctive sub-periods of the Basque Country’s strategy from the start of the autonomous regional
government in 1980 through to the advent of the 2008 financial crisis

What for?
Basque Strategy 2008-2020
What
for?
• GDP per capita initially fell from
€32,497 in 2008 to €30,607 in
2014 in the context of the 2008
financial crisis
• It recovered its growth and
reached €34,942 in 2019, an 8%
increase on the 2008 level
• Long-term decline in the
contribution of industry to
the economy was
stabilised at around 24%
• The proportion of the
population at risk from
poverty or social exclusion
fell to 14.4% by 2019
• The Basque country is
among the top regions in
Europe in this indicator
The focus of the strategy evolved to fit a more mature economy with a well-developed
infrastructure: inclusive competitiveness through innovation, leveraging public-private
collaboration spaces to facilitate a systemic and participative strategy

Building an Entrepreneurial Discovery Process
Basque S3 (2014-2020)
Analysis of the Basque S3, based on over 60 interviews with key players at two points in time, identifies
the emergence of two levels of entrepreneurial discovery dynamics (Aranguren, Morgan & Wilson, 2021)
1. Overall governance architecture and ‘rules of the game’
• Initial framework for entrepreneurial discovery
• Led and shaped by government (top-down)
• Overseen by new institutional mechanisms and evaluation frameworks
• Critical role in providing coherence at regional level
2. Micro-processes of particularising and valorising priorities
• Emergent, heterogenous processes of entrepreneurial discovery
• Much more granularity, involving more and different actors (bottom-up)
• Associated with the emergence of distributed leadership & experimentation
• Supported by emerging evaluation processes
• Critical role in keeping the strategy alive
