抛开比特币海滩 - BTC有一个新的最好的朋友：萨尔瓦多城市贝利恩

埃尔·萨尔瓦多（El Salvador）采用比特币作为国货币有强烈的经济原因。但是其中很大一部分（或至少是如何发展）是对旅游业的强烈推动。

El Salvador rose to international fame for adopting Bitcoin as legal tender, with mixed results for the broader economy, but a handful of locations are thriving.

埃尔·萨尔瓦多（El Salvador）因采用比特币作为法定货币而闻名，这对更广泛的经济成果不同，但少数地区蓬勃发展。

One of these is a 20,000-strong city called Berlín, a few hours from the capital.

其中之一是一个名为Berlín的20,000名城市，距离首都几个小时。

While Bitcoin Beach (also known as El Zonte) is primarily a tourist attraction, bringing in crypto lovers to bathe and surf within a town that supports Bitcoin spending, Berlín is different.

虽然比特币海滩（也称为El Zonte）主要是一个旅游胜地，使加密人物的爱好者在支持比特币支出的小镇中沐浴和冲浪，但Berlín也不同。

Tourism is practically non-existent in Berlín. Instead, the community has banded together to leverage Bitcoin’s unique advantages in one of the few cases where an entire city has leveraged decentralisation’s power to try and solve financial inequality.

旅游业实际上在贝林不存在。取而代之的是，在整个城市利用权力解决财务不平等的少数情况下，社区团结起来利用比特币的独特优势。

The city’s hub, called the Berlín Bitcoin Community Centre, acts as a community-building location that includes a fully-decked-out cafe, recording studio, a cafe and a Bitcoin ATM.

该市的枢纽被称为Berlín比特币社区中心，是一个社区建设的地点，其中包括一个完全破坏的咖啡馆，录音室，咖啡馆和比特币ATM。

Around 150 establishments throughout Berlín accept Bitcoin as payment, representing about 25% of merchants in the city.

整个伯利恩（Berlín）大约有150个场所接受比特币作为付款，占该市的25％的商人。

New people come to the Centre everyday to learn about Bitcoin and how they can benefit from using it within El Salvador.

新人们每天都会来了解比特币以及他们如何从萨尔瓦多内使用它而受益。

The city didn’t magically become a Bitcoin haven overnight. It took a project team of three locals (and one Irishman) to go door-to-door and help build the circular economy over a year or two.

一夜之间，这座城市并没有神奇地成为比特币避风港。一个由三个当地人（和一名爱尔兰人）组成的项目团队才能挨家挨户，并在一两年内帮助建立循环经济。

As the ears of people inside and outside of El Salvador pricked up, more and more people opened up to the idea of using Bitcoin as a currency.

随着萨尔瓦多内外的人们的耳朵刺了，越来越多的人开放了将比特币作为货币的想法。

The town of Berlín is an unfortunate exception to the rule. Despite the logical solutions that Bitcoin provided (given hyperinflation and mass unbankings), most El Salvadorians never messed with the stuff.

贝林镇是该规则的不幸例外。尽管比特币提供了逻辑解决方案（给定了过度通货膨胀和质量无障碍），但大多数萨尔瓦多人从未对这些东西感到困惑。

According to the Human Rights Watch, El Salvador has a strained political system, with civil unrest throughout the nation due to a move toward autocracy. The not-for-profit also claims that, under Bukele, El Salvador is subject to “widespread abuses, enforced disappearances, torture and ill-treatment of detainees.”

据《人权观察》报道，萨尔瓦多的政治制度紧张，由于朝着专制迈进，全国各地的内乱。这家非营利组织还声称，在伯克勒（Bukele）的领导下，萨尔瓦多（El Salvador）受到“广泛的虐待，强制失踪，酷刑和对被拘留者的虐待”。

The distrust throughout much of the nation has made Bitcoin, a Bukele initiative, less popular than it perhaps otherwise would be across El Salvador.

全国大部分地区的不信任使比特币成为了伯克利的一项倡议，比萨尔瓦多越来越多的人受欢迎。

That said, Berlín has demonstrated that BTC can have a home in El Salvador – and that it can thrive.

也就是说，Berlín证明了BTC可以在萨尔瓦多有一个家，而且可以蓬勃发展。
