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.

The next Ponzi crypto platform—set up by the co-founders of the bankrupt crypto hedge fund “Three Arrows Capital,” in partnership with the co-founders of CoinFLEX, which recently filed for debt restructuring to recover their losses—that would allow customers from ex-unicorns like FTX, Celsius, and Luna to trade their crypto bankruptcy claims in exchange for a new cryptocurrency called “USDG.”
Trump had this bigly idea over the weekend, as he discussed with his golf buddies whether he’d launch HTX, named after FTX and GTX, to raise a few billions from MAGA patriots, who got burnt by dishonest and disgraced crypto co-founders—his proposed motto is to “Make Crypto Great Again.”

When both mathophiles and mathophobes unashamedly or liberally poke fun at mathematics’s most famous or notorious constant π, by cracking jokes and puns, composing haikus and limericks, posing silly and serious pi-related quickies and trickies, and creating pi NFTs.
No mathematical constant other than pi has been under so much public scrutiny: pi irreverence has not only permeated popular culture, but is also potentially linked to extraterrestrial life in other planets or galaxies.
