Pittern

A tessellated diagram that at first glance may not look like it was produced by the number π, but on closer look, it reveals a figure patterned solely by the mathematical contant positioned in different orientations.
Ian plans to promote some of his pitterns as part of a collection of Pi NFTs on OpenSea, hoping that some math geeks would buy or bid for these wallet-friendly digital creations to support him financially.

Pi ICO

Short for “Pi Initial Coin Offering.” A startup by mathepreneurs, who aim to raise at least $3.14 million in exchange for pi tokens or PiCoins to help eradicate innumeracy in the developing world—their mission is to sponsor math educators-volunteers to help raise the quantitative literacy of millions of people in poorer countries.
Unlike a Pi IPO, which normally involves lots of checks or red tape, raising funds via a Pi ICO bypasses all of this—a relatively easier and cheaper way of raising money to improve the mathematical proficiency of poor communities worldwide faster.

Pi Persecution

When the number π is being spied 24/7/365 online and trolled by envious or jealous numerical constants, who couldn’t stand her global appeal or fame, as thousands of mathematicians and math educators worldwide maniacally devote an obscene number of hours every year trying to discover hidden properties about her.
Constants like e and 𝛷, conspiring with √2 and i, have been repeatedly accused of pi persecution, because they’ve allegedly or unprovenly ganged up to serially and spitefully downvote any old and new Urban Dictionary entries on π every day.
