PNG給世界的禮物：T4G令牌

早在2011年，巴布亞新幾內亞沒有人知道比特幣是什麼。人們忙於生活 - 銷售檳榔，種植考庫並在鎮上工作。互聯網很慢。智能手機很少見。

In the year 2011, few in Papua New Guinea (P.N.G.) had heard of Bitcoin. People were busy selling betel nut, planting kaukau and working in the town. The internet was slow. Smartphones were rare. But in Port Moresby, a young man named Kepa Wagi felt a curiosity for the world beyond P.N.G..

在2011年，巴布亞新幾內亞（PNG）很少有人聽說比特幣。人們正忙著出售檳榔，種植考庫並在鎮上工作。互聯網很慢。智能手機很少見。但是在莫爾斯比港，一個叫Kepa Wagi的年輕人對PNG以外的世界感到好奇。

A friend from Australia sent him an email—something called Bitcoin, ‘digital money’ not from any bank.’ Kepa was more used to K50 notes or coins. “Money that doesn’t come in notes or coins? How?”

來自澳大利亞的一位朋友向他發送了一封電子郵件，稱為比特幣，“數字貨幣”不是來自任何銀行。 Kepa更習慣了K50筆記或硬幣。 “沒有筆記或硬幣的錢？如何？”

His friend explained, “It’s like email, but for money. You store it in a wallet on your phone or computer. And it’s limited—only 21 million bitcoins will ever exist.”

他的朋友解釋說：“這就像電子郵件，但要賺錢。您將其存儲在手機或計算機上的錢包中。而且它有限 - 只有2100萬比特幣將永遠存在。”

Kepa didn’t fully understand but he was intrigued. With K500 from doing website work for a small NGO, he bought a small amount of Bitcoin through a foreign exchange site. One Bitcoin was valued at K50 at the time. His friends laughed at him.

Kepa並沒有完全理解，但他很感興趣。在為小非政府組織工作網站工作的K500時，他通過外匯網站購買了少量比特幣。當時，一個比特幣的價值為K50。他的朋友嘲笑他。

“You waste your money on invisible coins?”

“您將錢浪費在看不見的硬幣上嗎？”

But Kepa persevered. He read more online. He joined early chat forums. He learned how Bitcoin was not controlled by any government, and used something called ‘blockchain’ to keep records.

但是Kepa堅持不懈。他在網上閱讀更多。他加入了早期聊天論壇。他了解了比特幣如何不受任何政府的控制，並使用了“區塊鏈”來保留記錄。

Years passed. In 2013, one Bitcoin reached K100. Then K1,000. By 2017, it was more than K20,000 per coin. Kepa had only bought a minimal amount but it had blossomed into something substantial. He began to teach others.

多年過去了。 2013年，一個比特幣達到了K100。然後k1,000。到2017年，每枚硬幣超過K20,000。 Kepa只購買了最少的數量，但它已經成就了很大的東西。他開始教別人。

Soon, young people from Goroka, Lae and Hagen were asking him, “Em wanem samting ya Bitcoin? How can we use it?”

很快，來自Goroka，Lae和Hagen的年輕人問他：“ Em Wanem Shem ya YA比特幣？我們如何使用它？”

But Kepa also saw a problem.

但是Kepa也看到了一個問題。

“Bitcoin is good,” he told them, “But many people in P.N.G. don’t have internet, don’t have smartphones or don’t understand how to keep their wallets safe.”

他告訴他們：“比特幣很好，但是PNG中的許多人沒有互聯網，沒有智能手機或不明白如何確保其錢包安全。”

So Kepa and his close friend Maya Mara and a few others who believed in Bitcoin started thinking of a new kind of digital money.

因此，Kepa和他的密友Maya Mara和其他一些相信比特幣的人開始思考一種新的數字資金。

One that was simple, connected to the land and forests of P.N.G. and could work even without full internet. That’s when they created the T4G Token—short for ‘Travel for Green’ (T4G).

一個簡單的，與PNG的土地和森林有關，即使沒有完整的互聯網也可以工作。那是他們創建T4G令牌的時候 - “綠色旅行”（T4G）。

What Is T4G Token?

什麼是T4G令牌？

Kepa explained it to his community in Tok Pisin:

Kepa向Tok Pisin向他的社區解釋了這一點：

“T4G em olsem digital token, tasol em stap wantaim bikpela samting. Wanpela T4G em olsem wanpela USD. Tasol em i stap long blockchain and it’s backed by P.N.G.’s carbon reserve. Em olsem yu holim graun blo P.N.G. long digital

“ T4G就像美元一樣。但是它在區塊鏈中，又回到了PNG的碳保護區。
