啤酒Can Island擁有自己的加密貨幣，計劃重新開放為Solana Island

Pine Key - 坦帕灣的地標在當地人稱為Beer Can Island的地方 - 已經過了更好的日子。

Hurricane Helene put Beer Can Island about eight feet underwater, said co-owner Russell Loomis. The storm destroyed every structure on the island, from the concert stage to the tiki bar, giant slide and food truck. Hurricane Milton followed with winds that toppled about half of the island’s trees.

共同所有人羅素·魯米斯（Russell Loomis）說，海倫颶風將啤酒罐島島約八英尺。從音樂會舞台到蒂基酒吧，巨型滑梯和食品卡車，風暴摧毀了島上的每個結構。米爾頓颶風緊隨其後的是島上約一半樹木的風。

“When you go out there, now it looks like a bad hair day,” Loomis said. “Previously it had a nice, full head of hair.”

“當你出去時，現在看起來像是糟糕的一天，”魯米斯說。 “以前，它有一個很好的頭髮。”

The popular hang-out spot — closed since the storms — will likely remain shuttered to guests for another six to nine months. But Loomis is choosing to see the moment as an opportunity for a reset. One of his ideas for the property: getting into the world of crypto.

自從暴風雨以來，受歡迎的聚會場所可能會封閉給客人再六到九個月。但是Loomis選擇將這一刻視為重置的機會。他對財產的想法之一：進入加密貨幣世界。

Last week, Beer Can Island got its own virtual currency. The new coin, titled $PineKey, is available for purchase on the website pump.fun.

上週，Beer Can Island擁有自己的虛擬貨幣。新硬幣標題為$ Pinekey，可以在網站pump.fun上購買。

Unlike other “meme coins” inspired by pop culture, Loomis says $PineKey coin will have value in real life. Visitors will be able to use the virtual currency on food, drinks, concert tickets and rentals around the property. Prior to the hurricanes, visitors could sign up for a membership starting at $9.99 a month. As $PineKey grows, Loomis plans to eventually phase out the old membership program.

與流行文化啟發的其他“模因硬幣”不同，Loomis說，Pinekey Coin在現實生活中將具有價值。遊客將能夠在該物業周圍的食物，飲料，音樂會門票和租金上使用虛擬貨幣。在颶風之前，遊客可以報名參加每月9.99美元的會員資格。隨著$ Pinekey的成長，Loomis計劃最終逐步淘汰舊的會員計劃。

“Essentially, we’re making a new ecosystem on the island based around cryptocurrency,” he said, noting that he believes it could be the first time this has happened on a private island.

他說：“從本質上講，我們正在基於加密貨幣的島上建立一個新的生態系統。”他指出，他認為這可能是這可能是第一次在私人島嶼上發生。

Another thing people can purchase with $PineKey: their own portion of paradise.

人們可以用$ pinekey購買的另一件事：他們自己的天堂部分。

“Shares of the island are still available for purchase for $1,000 per share or the equivalent in $PineKey coin,” Loomis said in an email. “We’ve sold over 1,000 of these shares and still have around 500 remaining, Anyone can own a piece of the island, until shares run out.”

Loomis在一封電子郵件中說：“該島的股票仍可以每股1,000美元的價格購買，或者是Pinekey Coin的同等產品。” “我們已經出售了其中1000多股股票，但剩餘約500股，任何人都可以擁有該島的一部分，直到股票用完為止。”

The company’s market share was $190,117 as of Wednesday afternoon.

截至週三下午，該公司的市場份額為190,117美元。

Beer Can Island is located in the waters of Tampa Bay, between Apollo Beach and MacDill Air Force Base. It’s owned by four friends, including Loomis. The group briefly put 90% of their island up for sale in 2024, asking for $14.2 million, before changing their minds.

啤酒罐島位於阿波羅海灘和麥克迪爾空軍基地之間的坦帕灣水域。它由包括Loomis在內的四個朋友擁有。該小組在2024年將90％的島嶼短暫出售，要求1420萬美元，然後改變主意。

“We did have a couple other offers,” Loomis told the Times last spring. “None of them met the price that we were looking for.”

“我們確實還有其他幾個報價，” Loomis去年春天告訴《泰晤士報》。 “他們都沒有達到我們想要的價格。”

Loomis said he and his partners are working with architects, engineers, attorneys and Hillsborough County to get approval to rebuild the island to its former glory. This includes planting new trees, making sure all new structures are elevated by at least 8 feet and working to combat erosion issues.

Loomis說，他和他的合作夥伴正在與建築師，工程師，律師和Hillsborough縣合作，以獲得批准，以重建該島以前的榮耀。這包括種植新樹木，確保所有新結構至少升高8英尺，並致力於解決侵蝕問題。

Loomis has pledged to rename the property to Solana Island — after the Solana Ecosystem network that the coin runs on — if the new cryptocurrency is successful enough. He has already secured multiple domain names and social media pages under the new name, including facebook.com/Solanaisland.

如果新的加密貨幣足夠成功，Loomis已承諾將該物業重命名為Solana Island（索拉納生態系統網絡）。他已經以新名稱（包括Facebook.com/solanaisland）獲得了多個域名和社交媒體頁面。
