The Pi Network community is buzzing with mixed reactions following the latest extension of the KYC and Mainnet migration grace period to February 28, 2025. While some pioneers are frustrated by yet another delay, the Pi Core Team has made it clear that the Open Mainnet could launch before or after the grace period ends. This means the wait might not be as long as many fear!

Why the Frustration?

Many pioneers expected an Open Mainnet launch much sooner, so this extension feels like another setback. However, instead of seeing it as a delay, think of it as a final chance to secure your Pi before the network fully opens. With migration speeds increasing rapidly, we might be closer to Open Mainnet than ever before!

Why You Should Stay Positive

🚀 1. Migration is Accelerating

Recent metrics show a massive surge in Pi migration, with over 5.9 billion Pi already migrated and more than 9.8 million pioneers actively engaged. This momentum indicates that the network is getting ready for Open Mainnet.

⏳ 2. Open Mainnet Can Launch Anytime

The Pi Core Team confirmed that the Open Mainnet launch is independent of the grace period extension. This means pioneers should be ready for an earlier-than-expected launch rather than assuming it will only happen in late 2025.

✅ 3. A Final Chance to Complete the Mainnet Checklist

Many pioneers still haven’t completed their KYC, linked their wallet, or checked their migration settings. This grace period could be the last opportunity to ensure a smooth transition before Open Mainnet.

🔥 4. A Stronger and More Scalable Network

The extra time allows for a more stable, decentralized ecosystem, enhanced security, and better app integration. A rushed launch could cause problems, so ensuring the network is fully prepared is a smart move.

What Should You Do Now?

✔ Complete KYC – Without KYC, your Pi won’t migrate.
✔ Finish Your Mainnet Checklist – Double-check your settings to avoid missing out.
✔ Stay Updated – Follow official Pi Network announcements for the latest news.

Final Thoughts: Be Ready!

Instead of frustration, pioneers should see this as an opportunity. The Open Mainnet is coming, and those who are fully prepared will benefit the most. Don’t wait—secure your Pi now!

Social media sensation MrBeast recently updated his TikTok bio to read, "New CEO of TikTok?"—a move that has sparked widespread speculation among his 108.9 million followers. While this could be a playful tease, it arrives at a critical juncture for the platform in the United States.

The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld a federal law requiring ByteDance, TikTok's Chinese parent company, to divest its U.S. operations by January 19, 2025, or face a nationwide ban.  This decision stems from national security concerns over data privacy and potential Chinese government surveillance.

President Joe Biden signed the bill into law in April 2024, initiating a 270-day countdown for ByteDance to sell TikTok's U.S. assets.  However, as the deadline approaches, the Biden administration has chosen not to enforce the ban, leaving the decision to incoming President Donald Trump.  Trump, who previously sought to ban TikTok in 2020, has since amassed a significant following on the platform and has indicated a desire to protect it while addressing security concerns. 

TikTok has warned that it will "go dark" unless it receives clarity from the incoming administration.  The company is also exploring legal avenues to challenge the divestment requirement, arguing that it infringes on First Amendment rights and constitutes censorship. 

In this context, MrBeast's cryptic bio update adds an intriguing layer to the unfolding narrative. If he were to assume a leadership role within TikTok, it could signal a strategic move to align the platform more closely with U.S. interests, potentially easing national security concerns. Alternatively, it might simply be a savvy marketing tactic to engage his massive audience during a tumultuous time for the app.

As the situation develops, TikTok's future in the U.S. remains uncertain, hinging on political decisions, legal battles, and perhaps even the influence of prominent figures like MrBeast.

The PEMA On the Royal Command of Her Majesty The Gyaltsuen, the Pema Center Secretariat, an agency to spearhead our national response for mental health, has been established.

The Secretariat aims to help build a society that promotes the mental health and well-being of all Bhutanese. 

It will support policies and develop programs to support mental health, foster multi-sectoral partnerships, engage communities, and establish a proactive service delivery network. It will also help introduce and improve treatments, therapy and rehabilitation services. 

The Secretariat has three core divisions, for Self-harm Prevention, Violence Prevention and Response, and Substance Use Prevention and Care. Their collective mandate is to make proactive and reliable mental health services accessible for all. The team’s first steps towards this include setting up channels through which those in need of services can seek help, and systems to support them as well as their families and caregivers

Australia's Home Affairs Minister, Clare O'Neil, has unveiled comprehensive reforms aimed at reshaping the country's migration system, addressing perceived issues. The government plans to implement stringent visa rules over the next two years to reduce immigration, focusing on both international students and skilled workers.

For Australia Student Visa, the new policies mandate higher English proficiency scores, requiring Graduate visa applicants to achieve 6.5 (up from 6.0) and student visa applicants to attain 6.0 (up from 5.5). The changes also involve increased scrutiny on second visa applications.

In the realm of Australia Work Visa, the government intends to introduce the "Skills in Demand Visa," replacing the existing temporary skill shortage visa. This four-year visa offers three pathways based on skill levels, catering to specialists, core skills, and essential skills, with associated income criteria. The government anticipates a positive fiscal impact, projecting an addition of $3.4 billion to the budget over the next decade through these new pathways.

Sonam is a Bhutanese name denoting merit, longevity and good fortune. The name Yangden, meaning precious jewel, signifies prosperity and wellbeing.

The naming ceremony was held at Tashichhodzong on the anniversary of His Majesty’s accession to the Golden Throne in 2006. The ceremony was presided over by His Holiness the Je Khenpo. His Majesty the Fourth Druk Gyalpo, Their Majesties the Queen Mothers and Members of the Royal Family were present for the ceremony. 

Representatives of the Dratshang offered Ku Sung Thugten Mendrel. The Dzongdas, Thrizins, and Lam Netens of twenty dzongkhags, representing the people of Bhutan, made buelwa offerings. 

Her Royal Highness, the third child of Their Majesties The King and Gyaltsuen, was born on September 9 this year.

The journey to Chumphu Ney was a memorable experience for me and my family. The hike, lasting 4 to 8 hours, unfolded through serene forests, offering shade and a cool breeze that made the walk enjoyable.

Reaching the temple, we were captivated by the presence of Dorji Phamo, the "floating" goddess. The medium to steep climb added an element of adventure, and witnessing a money note smoothly pass beneath her feet left us in awe of the sacred atmosphere.

Exploring the Guru Rimpoche Caves felt like stepping back in time, imagining the meditation practices of Guru and his consorts. The waterfalls, believed to be Guru's bathing place, and the rock opening considered the gates of Heaven, added a sense of wonder to our visit.

Inside the temple, the caretaker shared fascinating details about the floating statue, emphasizing its mysterious origins and the belief that wishes made beside greed come true. The prohibition of photography inside the temple heightened the sense of reverence.

Venturing beyond the temple, we discovered the caves used by Guru Rinpoche and his consorts, each resonating with spiritual history. The small lake, carved into the rocks with a beautiful waterfall, and the rock opening believed to be Heaven's gateway provided moments of tranquility and reflection.

Sharing this experience with my family was truly special. Recommending this hike to others is not just about the physical journey; it's an invitation to immerse yourself in the spiritual and serene ambiance of Chumphu Ney, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those who embark on this adventure.

In a quest to bridge theory with reality, I guided my students through an application of trigonometry: measuring the height of a flagpole. We calculated the  height of the flagpole using the angle of elevation and baseline distance. 

Formula: 

Height of flagpole = baseline distance * tan(θ)

Wishing all Indian friends a joyful Independence Day! May the spirit of freedom and unity continue to shine brightly in your incredible nation. As neighbors, let's celebrate together and strengthen the bond between Bhutan and India. Jai Hind! #IndependenceDayGreetings #BhutanAndIndia

 Viva-Voce: Introduction

My name is Nidup Jamtsho. I graduated from Samtse College of Education in June this year, with a Bachelor of Education in Physics and Mathematics. I am from Drepong under Mongar Dzongkhag. I completed my high school in the science stream from Yadi Higher Secondary School in 2017. Throughout my educational journey, I have been academically sound and obtained many academic excellence awards including the precious certificate from his majesty the king. Among special awards, I was awarded the Best Student of the year at my primary and high school. In college, I was awarded both prestigious awards; President’s Award for Outstanding Student Leadership and the Award for Valuable Contribution. During my teaching practice, I was awarded the Principal’s Certificate of Commendation signed by the Dzongdag, which was the first of its kind.  

I have held various leadership positions from my primary school to college. Out of all the leadership roles, I happened to be the school captain in both primary and high school. I was also the councillor at the college. I was the overall commander during the 48th batch De-Suungtraining at Wing VIII, Samtse. While serving in the capacity of those roles, I have had the privilege of learning many things like communication skills, patience, empathy, accountability, and many other life skills.   

I participated in various co-curricular activities in my school and college. Among those activities, I would not miss the events related to social services. I was an active scout member who got an opportunity to undergo scout leadership training in 2015. Through the membership of the Tarayana club, GNH program, and SDG program, I used to involve myself with social services. I am the founder of an unofficial youth group called KuenphenYouth which was formed with the goal to render social services. 

In addition to all those things, I consider myself a passionate content creator and a blogger. With all these qualities and my willingness to constantly reinvent myself, I strongly believe that I can become one of the best teachers in the country to groom the children through a right way and eventually lead to a better nation building.
