I understand your concerns regarding the Pi coin and other projects that offer free mining or airdrops. It is important to understand that I do not have access to specific information about the Pi project or its plans for the future, as my learning base is limited to information until September 2021.
At the same time, in the world of cryptocurrencies, there are many projects that offer free coins or mining, and not all of them are successful or reliable. Some projects may disappear or become irrelevant over time.
If the Pi project is ready to hit the market and has the potential to be of interest to the Chinese market, this could be an interesting development. However, it is important to remember that investing in cryptocurrencies is always associated with risks, and no one can guarantee the success or stability of the project.
Many people have passed their kyc in country and their real Pi have be transferred to them successfully, like I said earlier Pi has 2 stages of mainnet, the enclosed and open mainnet, we're currently in the enclosed mainnet and hopefully the open mainnet would be launched soon where pi would have it's own official trading platform and listed on other major platform as well, many platform are ready and waiting for open mainnet to list Pi officially and come openmainnet many country and businesses would adopt Pi as a means of Payment for goods and services which is the sole aim of the Pi core team.
