马斯克：我就0.25个比特币，还不知丢哪去了

美国电动汽车及太阳能公司特斯拉首席执行官伊隆·马斯克在加密数字货币方面不是很积极。本周马斯克在社交媒体Twitter上透露了比特币持有情况——实在没多少。

有位关注马斯克的Twitter用户提问，为什么网站上有那么多假冒他的机器人账户宣传加密货币骗局，马斯克回复时透露了比特币持有情况。

不久前，Twitter用户提到加密货币以太坊时问道：“到处都是以太坊的垃圾信息，怎么回事？”马斯克的Twitter账号这样回复：“不太清楚。我和杰克说过，可还是这样。”马斯克提到的杰克是指Twitter首席执行官。

接着，马斯克就在当天回复的帖子里说：“我基本上没有加密货币，只有多年前朋友多送的0.25个比特币。”按上周五晚的市价（当天下午比特币交易价10,012美元），马斯克的0.25个比特币市值约2500美元。

不太清楚。我跟@杰克说过，可还是这样。我基本上没有加密货币，只有多年前朋友送的0.25个比特币。

这笔比特币资产对身家上十亿美元的马斯克来说不算多少。而且，即便马斯克想处置这笔小钱也做不到。

去年11月坊间传闻称，比特币匿名创造者中本聪就是马斯克。爆出此消息的是一篇博客，博主萨赫勒·古普塔曾在马斯克执掌的另一家公司Space X做过实习生。

不是真的。有个朋友几年前送给我一个比特币的一部分，但我不知道放哪儿去了。

——伊隆·马斯克（@elonmusk）于2017年11月28日

事后有人在Twitter上给马斯克转发了有关该博客的消息。马斯克称，传闻不实，而且他自己都忘记比特币在哪了。丢失比特币并不罕见。《财富》曾经独家披露，研究机构发现，多年来因没有妥善保管而遗失的比特币约有278万到379万之多。（财富中文网）

Tesla CEO Elon Musk isn’t exactly active in cryptocurrency. Musk revealed this week on Twitter how much Bitcoin he owns—and it’s not much.

Musk shed light on his bitcoin ownership in response to a question from a Twitter follower asking why there were so many bots impersonating him to push cryptocurrency scams.

“What’s with all the ETH spam?” the Twitter user asked, referring to the cryptocurrency Ethereum. Musk tweeted back: “Not sure. I let Jack know, but it’s still going.” Musk was referring to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.

“I literally own zero cryptocurrency, apart from .25 BTC that a friend sent me many years ago,” Musk said in a tweet on Thursday. That’s about $2,500 as of Friday evening (as of Friday afternoon, one Bitcoin was worth $10,012).

Not sure. I let @jack know, but it’s still going. I literally own zero cryptocurrency, apart from .25 BTC that a friend sent me many years ago.

That’s not a lot of money for Musk, who is worth billions. But even if Musk needed to access his bitcoin, he’d be unable to.

Late last year, a theory circulated that the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator, is Musk. The blog post that floated the idea was by Sahil Gupta, a former intern at Musk’s other company, SpaceX.

Not true. A friend sent me part of a BTC a few years, but I don’t know where it is.

Someone on Twitter sent Musk a news article about the post. Not only was it untrue, Musk said, but he’s forgotten where his bitcoin is stored. Losing bitcoin isn’t so unusual. As Fortune exclusively revealed, somewhere between 2.78 million and 3.79 million bitcoins have been misplaced over the years.
