PNG给世界的礼物：T4G令牌

早在2011年，巴布亚新几内亚没有人知道比特币是什么。人们忙于生活 - 销售槟榔，种植考库并在镇上工作。互联网很慢。智能手机很少见。

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，巴布亚新几内亚（PNG）很少有人听说比特币。人们正忙着出售槟榔，种植考库并在镇上工作。互联网很慢。智能手机很少见。但是在莫尔斯比港，一个叫Kepa Wagi的年轻人对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?”

来自澳大利亚的一位朋友向他发送了一封电子邮件，称为比特币，“数字货币”不是来自任何银行。 Kepa更习惯了K50笔记或硬币。 “没有笔记或硬币的钱？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.”

他的朋友解释说：“这就像电子邮件，但要赚钱。您将其存储在手机或计算机上的钱包中。而且它有限 - 只有2100万比特币将永远存在。”

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并没有完全理解，但他很感兴趣。在为小非政府组织工作网站工作的K500时，他通过外汇网站购买了少量比特币。当时，一个比特币的价值为K50。他的朋友嘲笑他。

“You waste your money on invisible coins?”

“您将钱浪费在看不见的硬币上吗？”

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坚持不懈。他在网上阅读更多。他加入了早期聊天论坛。他了解了比特币如何不受任何政府的控制，并使用了“区块链”来保留记录。

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.

多年过去了。 2013年，一个比特币达到了K100。然后k1,000。到2017年，每枚硬币超过K20,000。 Kepa只购买了最少的数量，但它已经成就了很大的东西。他开始教别人。

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

很快，来自Goroka，Lae和Hagen的年轻人问他：“ Em Wanem Shem ya YA比特币？我们如何使用它？”

But Kepa also saw a problem.

但是Kepa也看到了一个问题。

“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.”

他告诉他们：“比特币很好，但是PNG中的许多人没有互联网，没有智能手机或不明白如何确保其钱包安全。”

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币的人开始思考一种新的数字资金。

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).

一个简单的，与PNG的土地和森林有关，即使没有完整的互联网也可以工作。那是他们创建T4G令牌的时候 - “绿色旅行”（T4G）。

What Is T4G Token?

什么是T4G令牌？

Kepa explained it to his community in Tok Pisin:

Kepa向Tok Pisin向他的社区解释了这一点：

“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就像美元一样。但是它在区块链中，又回到了PNG的碳保护区。
