啤酒Can Island拥有自己的加密货币，计划重新开放为Solana Island

Pine Key - 坦帕湾的地标在当地人称为Beer Can Island的地方 - 已经过了更好的日子。

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.

共同所有人罗素·鲁米斯（Russell Loomis）说，海伦飓风将啤酒岛岛岛岛放约八英尺。从音乐会舞台到蒂基酒吧，巨型滑梯和食品卡车，风暴摧毁了岛上的每个结构。米尔顿飓风紧随其后的是岛上约一半树木的风。

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

“当你出去时，现在看起来像是糟糕的一天，”鲁米斯说。 “以前，它有一个很好的头发。”

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.

自从暴风雨以来，受欢迎的聚会场所可能会封闭给客人再六到九个月。但是Loomis选择将这一刻视为重置的机会。他对财产的想法之一：进入加密货币世界。

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

上周，Beer Can Island拥有自己的虚拟货币。新硬币标题为$ Pinekey，可以在网站pump.fun上购买。

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.

与流行文化启发的其他“模因硬币”不同，Loomis说，Pinekey Coin在现实生活中将具有价值。游客将能够在该物业周围的食物，饮料，音乐会门票和租金上使用虚拟货币。在飓风之前，游客可以报名参加每月9.99美元的会员资格。随着$ Pinekey的成长，Loomis计划最终逐步淘汰旧的会员计划。

“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.

他说：“从本质上讲，我们正在基于加密货币的岛上建立一个新的生态系统。”他指出，他认为这可能是这可能是第一次在私人岛屿上发生。

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

人们可以用$ pinekey购买的另一件事：他们自己的天堂部分。

“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在一封电子邮件中说：“该岛的股票仍可以每股1,000美元的价格购买，或者是Pinekey Coin的同等产品。” “我们已经出售了其中1000多股股票，但剩余约500股，任何人都可以拥有该岛的一部分，直到股票用完为止。”

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

截至周三下午，该公司的市场份额为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.

啤酒罐岛位于阿波罗海滩和麦克迪尔空军基地之间的坦帕湾水域。它由包括Loomis在内的四个朋友拥有。该小组在2024年将90％的岛屿短暂出售，要求1420万美元，然后改变主意。

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

“我们确实还有其他几个报价，” Loomis去年春天告诉《泰晤士报》。 “他们都没有达到我们想要的价格。”

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说，他和他的合作伙伴正在与建筑师，工程师，律师和Hillsborough县合作，以获得批准，以重建该岛以前的荣耀。这包括种植新树木，确保所有新结构至少升高8英尺，并致力于解决侵蚀问题。

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.

如果新的加密货币足够成功，Loomis已承诺将该物业重命名为Solana Island（索拉纳生态系统网络）。他已经以新名称（包括Facebook.com/solanaisland）获得了多个域名和社交媒体页面。
