比特币这个新型的电子货币，一直是时下人们茶余饭后的谈资，不过今天，这个话题可显得有些凝重了。

据国外某网站消息称，最大的比特币平台MT.GOX由于系统漏洞损失大量比特币无法弥补客户损失而申请破产保护，大约有75万比特币不翼而飞，目前该网站已经下线，官方twitter全部信息也都已经删除，这是分分钟要跑路的节奏啊，投资比特币的小伙伴们，你们还好吗？

以下是详情的联合声明内容：

这次 Mt.Gox 用户的信任遭到的无情背叛是由一家公司的丑恶行为造成的，并不会影响比特币和电子货币行业的应变能力或价值。现有数百个值得信赖和负责任的比特币企业。这些公司将继续发展货币，使比特币更安全更易用，以便更好地为消费者和商家服务。和任何新兴的行业一样，一些害群之马需要被清理掉，这也是今天我们所看到的这个结果。

尽管如此，我们坚信，在强有力团队带领下，在可靠的投资者的支持下，许多强大的比特币公司将会继续繁荣发展，并切实履行比特币的承诺：互联网时代未来的支付方式。

为了重建被 Mt.Gox 破坏的信任，一些负责的比特币交易所正在联合起来，共同努力保护比特币的未来，确保所有用户的资金安全。作为重建用户信任努力的一部分，以下比特币相关机构共同向消费者和大众保证——所有的资金继续以安全、可靠的方式储存：Coinbase、Kraken、 BitStamp、 Circle 和比特币中国（BTC China）。

我们坚定地信仰透明、周到、全面的消费者保护措施。我们坚持做比特币产业的领路人。

这些比特币相关机构，无论是交易所、电子钱包服务或支付平台，在保护客户的比特币资产方面，都发挥了关键的作用。应该为比特币保管者设立高门槛，包括：适当的安全保护措施，由第三方定期进行审核和测试；商业实体所需的充足的资产负债表和储备；透明、负责的客户曝光渠道；以及不得利用客户资金进行自营或在杠杆交易中进行保证金贷款。而在我们看来，作为金融服务提供商，Mt.Gox 完全没有满足这些基本要求。

本联合声明由以下行业领导共同作出：

Coinbase 联合创始人：Fred Ehrsam

Kraken 首席执行官：Jesse Powell

Bitstamp.net 首席执行官：Nejc Kodrič

比特币中国首席执行官：Bobby Lee（李启元）

Blockchain.info 首席执行官：Nicolas Cary

Circle 首席执行官：Jeremy Allaire

附英文原文：

The purpose of this document is to summarize a joint statement to the Bitcoin community regarding Mt.Gox.

This tragic violation of the trust of users of Mt.Gox was the result of one company’s abhorrent actions and does not reflect the resilience or value of bitcoin and the digital currency industry. There are hundreds of trustworthy and responsible companies involved in bitcoin. These companies will continue to build the future of money by making bitcoin more secure and easy to use for consumers and merchants. As with any new industry, there are certain bad actors that need to be weeded out, and that is what we are seeing today.

We are confident, however, that strong Bitcoin companies, led by highly competent teams and backed by credible investors, will continue to thrive, and to fulfill the promise that bitcoin offers as the future of payment in the Internet age.

In order to re-establish the trust squandered by the failings of Mt. Gox, responsible bitcoin exchanges are working together and are committed to the future of bitcoin and the security of all customer funds. As part of the effort to re-assure customers, the following exchanges will be coordinating efforts over the coming days to publicly reassure customers and the general public that all funds continue to be held in a safe and secure manner: Coinbase, Kraken, BitStamp, Circle, and BTC China.

We strongly believe in transparent, thoughtful, and comprehensive consumer protection measures. We pledge to lead the way.

Bitcoin operators, whether they be exchanges, wallet services or payment providers, play a critical custodial role over the bitcoin they hold as assets for their customers. Acting as a custodian should require a high-bar, including appropriate security safeguards that are independently audited and tested on a regular basis, adequate balance sheets and reserves as commercial entities, transparent and accountable customer disclosures, and clear policies to not use customer assets for proprietary trading or for margin loans in leveraged trading. It does not appear to any of us that MtGox followed any these essential requirements as a financial services provider.

The following industry leaders stand by this statement:

Fred Ehrsam -- Co-founder of Coinbase

Jesse Powell -- CEO of Kraken

Nejc Kodrič -- CEO of Bitstamp.net

Bobby Lee -- CEO of BTC China

Nicolas Cary -- CEO of Blockchain.info

Jeremy Allaire -- CEO of Circle
