**Doris Yin Speech: New Year Engagements for All Pioneers in Africa in Preparation for OM**

Dear Africa GCV Ambassadors and Pioneers,

I hope this message finds you thriving. It has been a while since I attended the Africa conference, as our commitment to supporting communities is greater than ever. I believe in each of you and encourage all GCV Ambassadors to embrace the teachings I have shared. My writings cover a vast array of insights, and now it is in your hands to read deeply and act.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to our host, Mr. Oliver Ndatimana, and our co-hosts, Mr. Abiola Iyanda and Mazi Onyido, for their unwavering dedication to the Africa GCV movement. I also want to extend my sincere appreciation to Ms. Lumari, Mr. Jojo, Ms. Nonny, M. Rad, and all our Global GCV Community Team members who have contributed to the Africa GCV movement. Additionally, I want to thank all our Africa GCV ambassadors, community leaders, merchants, and pioneers for your steadfast support of GCV.

Today, we gather to discuss "New Year Engagements for All Pioneers in Africa in Preparation for OM." In my article #74, I emphasized the key actions pioneers should take for a successful OM and the long-term flourishing of the Pi Network. Let us all embrace these important principles and put them into practice.

Ms. Lumari has confidently called on the entire GCV community to take decisive action to achieve our ambitious goal of reaching 200,000 GCV merchants. It is essential to recognize the critical functions of our GCV system that will drive this important initiative forward, and I encourage all Africa GCV Ambassadors to begin acting without delay. I am confident that if all GCV Ambassadors engage with this challenge seriously and strategically, we will surpass our goal and reach at least 300,000 GCV merchants within the next 60 days globally, especially in rapidly growing markets like China and India.

**Education: ** The Pioneers Handbook is our cornerstone for effectively educating pioneers and merchants about joining the GCV Map of Pi and combating the black market, thereby protecting our pioneers' Pi. More importantly, this handbook will pave the way for the creation of regional and country-specific Pi GCV merchants' alliances. After the OM, this will empower businesses to use Pi as a payment method among themselves.

**How? ** GCV Ambassadors at all levels—regional, country, provincial/state, and city/county—must utilize a variety of approaches to share the Pioneers Handbook widely. This cannot simply be accomplished through postings in groups; every GCV Ambassador should read the handbook five times to fully internalize the material. This preparation will enable them to present with confidence and answer any questions accurately. Live presentations are the most impactful method for educating pioneers, especially in face-to-face settings. Therefore, web seminars and local training sessions are essential.

**Ecosystem: ** Our focus should be on delivering real benefits to merchants and showcasing successful examples of how GCV Pi payments can enhance their businesses. We will actively encourage merchants to provide testimonials and promote their brand names internationally. This strategy will naturally attract and motivate other merchants to join us. Moreover, as we help merchants boost their sales, they will undoubtedly want to share their success with their business partners and suppliers, rapidly forging a strong merchants' alliance within the production chain—our goal.

**How? ** We are determined to transfer pioneers' purchasing power from the external market to our ecosystem. This powerful strategy requires all pioneers to grasp its importance. Supporting partial Pi payments is crucial, as this will allow merchants to generate more cash and increase sales. When merchants see tangible results, registrations for the Map of Pi will flourish as they spread the word. We will not settle for merely waiting for full Pi payments during the enclosed mainnet phase.

👉Our focus is squarely on the production chain and establishing a robust merchants' alliance. The GCV offerings should encompass a vast array of products and services, including agriculture, textiles, furniture, appliances, cars, real estate, groceries, jewelry, tax services, dental offices, schools, hospitals, law firms, travel agencies, and both retail and wholesale sectors. We will require only a partial Pi payment, ranging from 10% to 50%, depending on profit margins in each industry. However, it is imperative that all product and service prices remain competitive in the open market to ensure we provide real value to our pioneering customers.

With approximately 60 days remaining, let’s rally all pioneers to take action to support our merchants. After the GCV OM, we will be fully prepared to use full Pi payment. However, without our collective effort, the migration to Pi wallets may take longer, or we may find it challenging to locate nearby merchants willing to accept Pi. Even after the OM, while converting to fiat will be possible, we currently lack a definitive plan for implementation. We must also be mindful of potential capital gains taxes or limits on conversions in your country. It is crucial that everyone understands the strength we hold when we unite for global impact. Instead of seeking assistance from large corporations through appeals, we will demonstrate our own capabilities and resilience. By showcasing our strengths, we will earn the unwavering support of these entities.

👉Today, I also want to discuss the importance of the Production Chain Alliance, or the Merchants Alliance. Last year, the Philippines community established the Merchants Alliance, and I encourage all countries to follow suit. The Philippines has been quite successful in this endeavor, and it is one of the reasons for their rapid expansion. Their goal is to engage between 20,000 to 40,000 merchants.

Recently, I have established China GCV Production Chain Alliance. I explained to them the necessity of creating this alliance and appointed a management committee that includes 12 GCV ambassadors. The committee also has a Marketing Director, Business Coordinator Director, Public Relations Director, Strategy Director, and we will have a Legal Affairs Director.

So, why do I call on all countries to establish a Production Chain Alliance or Merchants Alliance? We have a GCV Ambassador system that has been effective, but it comes with high certification standards, which means it takes time to certify ambassadors. We only have 60 days until the OM, and before that, each country needs to establish a wide range of production chains to create the Pi payment inside cycle. The broader the range of products and services, the stronger the ecosystem will be.

In China, they are creating a merchant’s group where our business coordinators invite businesses to join and now there are 8,000 merchants sign up MapofPi. We emphasize the benefits we can offer merchants through partial Pi payments during the enclosed mainnet, and after the OM, they will gain access to the Pi Network Web 3.0 blockchain will help them get competitive advantage. There are no costs or risks involved; we help them gain more exposure in the market. As a result, many merchants are eager to join the group, and we assist them in signing up on MapofPi and/or forming partnerships with the Pi Network.

I also asked them to document all merchants’ information so we can share it within the Chinese community. This initiative will help businesses and service providers find suppliers that accept Pi payments, ultimately facilitating the adoption of Pi payments. And after OM, this resources can be used for international trade with Pi payment. And we need to do it from now to get all merchants information. So, I hope our Africa GCV CT can start this kind of work. It can be inside one country, or it can be regional based on your resources.

👉During this process, all GCV Ambassadors should adopt a mindset of serving the community rather than seeking fame or power. Our strength is not for individual gain but to unite the pioneers of GCV and contribute to ecosystem development. When we communicate, it is essential to show full respect and avoid discrimination based on race, nationality, or other factors. When differing opinions arise among GCV Ambassadors, we should express our viewpoints gently and professionally. Any actions taken must be communicated officially through email and other platforms to ensure everyone is well-informed. We must avoid personal conflicts and focus on our common goal: the success of the Pi Network. It is important to overlook trivial disagreements.

👉I've noticed that conflicts often arise among leaders within the community, primarily due to communication issues. It is crucial to avoid using threatening language; we are all working for our collective benefit, so appreciating one another is important. Acting out of emotion can undermine unity within the GCV community and damage your reputation. Learning to tolerate others' shortcomings is essential; we should hold ourselves to high standards while being flexible with others. It is important to put ourselves in others’ shoes to understand their perspectives; what you don’t want done to you, do not do to others. As top leaders in the community, our focus should not be on minor details but on finding talented pioneers, cultivating them as leaders, and placing them in positions where they can use their talents effectively.

👉Don't be jealous if your subordinates surpass you. We should provide them with opportunities, even if it means they might be promoted over you. We must understand that our personal energy is limited. For the long-term success and stable growth of the Pi Network, we need to expand the GCV community and welcome more leaders. We should be happy if our subordinates can accomplish more than we do, and we must express our appreciation. I personally would love to see all of you surpass me, as it would allow me to rest, do yoga, work out, or enjoy my favorite history programs. This is the hallmark of a smart leader. By having an open heart, we can relax, and our subordinates will appreciate us, always considering us their leader.

🙏All these points are crucial for our success before and after the OM. Without a positive community culture, we risk being ineffective and disorganized. Therefore, all GCV Ambassadors must learn to manage community matters professionally, avoiding extreme actions that could undermine our collective efforts. Other countries and regions are working hard, and if the African community cannot unite, it will slow down progress across the continent.

As I have already analyzed, CT will open migration based on regional ecosystem development. If we cannot unite to work on the ecosystem due to power struggles, it will inhibit our ability to effectively guide our community.

My topic for today is how to help the African community engage in the OM efficiently. I wish all our African GCV Ambassadors to obtain your certificates as soon as possible. We should also initiate the GCV production chain alliance, opening the door to more merchants and leaders, which will enhance our community and contribute to the success of the GCV Movement.

Thank you to all the Africa GCV Ambassadors, community leaders, merchants, and pioneers for your remarkable hard work and dedication.

Wishing you all health, happiness, and abundance. God bless each of you. Let’s unite our efforts for a successful OM soon.🙏🙏🙏
