????上周六晚，一位名叫雷恩?希爾基斯的比特幣博主發表了一份名為“危機戰略草案”的文件。文件據說要曝光Mt.Gox這個全球最早成立、也是規模最大的比特幣交易平臺是走向破產深淵（這在很大程度上要歸咎于黑客的大規模襲擊）的內幕。一些相關社區對這份文件一開始充滿了懷疑，但就在昨晚，Mt. Gox的前任首席執行官馬克?卡佩雷斯確認了它的真實性。

????希爾基斯用“兩比特傻瓜”（Two-bit Idiot）這個筆名發表了這份文件。昨晚，他對《財富》雜志（Fortune）就他本人及此次發文事件用電郵向他提出的系列問題做了如下回應：

????《財富》雜志：請介紹一下您自己。

????雷恩?希爾基斯：我是一名創業者，手頭有兩個比特幣項目。其中一個叫Good-Bits的是兼職，它是這個領域里的第一個慈善平臺，可以讓比特幣持有者把數字貨幣捐給美國任何一家注冊的慈善機構。而全職項目是一個名為Inscrypto的公司，它實質上是一個使用比特幣的，私人投資、去中心化的聯邦存款保險公司（FDIC）。我們主要是打造這樣一種渠道，它們能幫消費者和商家將不需要的價格波動轉給那些愿意保證比特幣存款法定價值的專業投資者。創業前，我在私募基金和風投公司Summit Partners就職。

????您什么時候開始寫博客的？為什么要寫？

????我是去年10月開始深入研究比特幣的。到了11月，我就入迷了。寫博客對我來說是有特定目的的——不是打算成為什么記者，而是逼著自己能快速了解這個行業?！皟杀忍厣倒稀边@個筆名就能看出我沒太把寫博客當回事。之所以起這個名字，是為了萬一我在博客里出現低級錯誤或是在Reddit這樣的新聞網站上發表煽動性言論時，給自己提供一把保護傘。但當我繼續寫下去、同時接觸到業內人士后，我就意識到這個行業太缺乏金融專業意見了，而現在一些業內領先的比特幣創業者已經開始定期閱讀我的“每日比特”（Daily Bit）了。于是我開始更認真地寫博客，現在我是CoinDesk的自由撰稿人。

????比特幣社區有些人已經開始抨擊您的博客了，您認為原因是什么？

????說實話，那些對我最初所發文件持懷疑態度的大多數人，我不怪他們。那些一直讀我博文的人很了解，我不會發假警報，也絕不會做誹謗比特幣的事，但這類人人數很少。大多數人都把這篇蹩腳的小博文看成是像《南方公園》（South Park，美國著名喜劇，經常通過歪曲式的摹仿來諷刺和嘲弄美國文化和社會時事的各個方面——譯注）這樣的玩意兒，認為我是在有意制造恐慌情緒，或者是想要操縱市場價格。更讓人困擾的批評來自另外一些人，他們不管我說了什么都會暴跳如雷，因為現在看來已經有投資者準備出資救助這個交易平臺了。實際上，如果Mt. Gox的所有相關情況都被掩飾起來——不管有沒有包庇犯罪，那這些批評也無傷大雅。當然，對于我該怎么披露這些文件每個人都有自己的看法，而我只是按照我認為正確的方式來。

????Late Sunday night, a bitcoin blogger named Ryan Selkis published a "Crisis Strategy Draft" document that purported to show how Mt. Gox, one of the world's earliest and largest bitcoin exchanges, was insolvent (due, in large part, to a massive hack). Initial reaction from some quarters was skeptical but, by last night, former Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpeles had confirmed the document's legitimacy.

????Selkis publishes under the pseudonym Two-bit Idiot, and last night responded to a series of emailed questions from Fortune about himself and the leak:

????FORTUNE: Who are you?

????Ryan Selkis: I'm an entrepreneur working on two separate bitcoin projects. One is part-time, Good-Bits, which is the first charitable platform that allows bitcoin holders to donate digital currency to any U.S. registered charities. The full-time project is a company called Inscrypto, which is basically a privately-funded, decentralized version of the FDIC for Bitcoin. We're building the pipes that help consumers and merchants offload unwanted price volatility onto professional investors willing to guarantee the fiat value of bitcoin deposits. Before becoming an entrepreneur, I was in private equity and venture capital at Summit Partners.

????When and why did you begin blogging?

????I started digging into bitcoin in October. By November I was hooked. I started blogging as a means to an end - not with aspirations of being regarded as a journalist, but rather to force myself to learn quickly about the industry. You can tell I didn't take it too seriously from my pseudonym, "two-bit idiot." I picked the name to provide air cover in the event I made rookie mistakes in my posts or wrote incendiary opinions on Reddit. But as I continued to write and to meet people within the industry, I realized strong finance voices were rare, and some of the leading bitcoin entrepreneurs started reading my Daily Bit regularly. I started to take the blog more seriously and now I'm a freelance contributor with CoinDesk.

????You've gotten blowback from some in the bitcoin community for your posts. Why do you think that is?

????Honestly, I don't blame most people for being skeptical of my initial leaks. The people who have been following me know I don't cry wolf and wouldn't do anything to slander bitcoin, but that was a small group. Most people just saw this crappy little Tumblr blog with a South Park avatar and assumed I was fear-mongering or trying to manipulate market prices. The much more troubling blowback has been from people who are mad that I said anything at all since there appear to have been investors who were ready to bail out the exchange. Essentially these critics would have been ok if everything had just been swept under the rug with respect to Mt. Gox - criminal cover-up or no. Of course, everyone has an opinion on how I should have approached leaking the documents. I just did what I thought was right.
