2月28日，在日本东京地方法院举行的新闻发布会上，全球最大的比特币交易平台MtGox的首席执行官马克·卡珀利斯一改往日休闲的装扮，穿上西装，表情严肃地向投资者道歉。
& nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; 28 February, at a press conference at the Tokyo District Court in Japan, Mark Caperlis, Chief Executive Officer of MtGox, the world's largest Bitcoin trading platform, changed to a casual costume and put on a suit to apologize seriously to investors.
路透社称，当日，MtGox向东京地方法院提交了破产申请。在该平台交易的70多万枚比特币被盗，MtGox无法承担投资者的损失。
& nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; and Reuters stated that the same day MtGox filed an application for bankruptcy with the Tokyo District Court. More than 700,000 bitcoins traded on the platform were stolen and MtGox could not bear the losses of the investors.
2月25日，MtGox网站突然关闭，引发投资者的恐慌和不满。
& nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; and on 25 February, the MtGox website was suddenly closed, causing panic and discontent among investors.
“我很生气，MtGox没有解释发生了什么！”来自英国伦敦的伯吉斯对路透社说，他持有约30万美元的比特币。
& nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; “I'm angry, MtGox didn't explain what happened!” Birgis from London, United Kingdom, told Reuters that he held about $300,000 in bitcoins.
《华尔街日报》称，比特币是一种电子货币，它的“开采”和交易都要通过复杂的计算机程序进行。
& nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; The Wall Street Journal states that Bitcoin is an electronic currency whose “exploitation” and transactions are conducted through sophisticated computer programs.
2013年伊始，每枚比特币的交易价格为13美元。当年11月，比特币大幅升值，每枚的交易价格为1100美元。最近几周，比特币的热潮退去，交易价格急转直下。
& nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; at the beginning of 2013, the transaction price was $13 per bitcoin. In November of that year, Bitcoin appreciated significantly, with a transaction price of $1,100 per item. In recent weeks, Bitcoin has retreated and transaction prices have fallen sharply.
今年2月初，MtGox以技术故障为由，停止为用户提供提现服务。路透社称，这意味着，在过去一年中异军突起的虚拟货币风险已现。
& nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; at the beginning of February this year, MtGox stopped providing cash withdrawal services to users on the grounds of technical malfunctions. Reuters claims that this means that the virtual currency risk that has emerged during the past year has become real.
MtGox网站的命运仍是未知数，但部分投资者对比特币信心不减。
The fate of & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; MtGox is still unknown, but the confidence of some investors in bitcoin remains constant.
“好消息在于，这是个遍布全球的金融网络，其中一个节点出现了故障，但整个系统还在运转。”美国联合广场风险投资公司的合伙人弗雷德·威尔逊表示，自己于2月25日增持比特币。
& nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; “The good news is that this is a worldwide financial network, one of which has failed, but the whole system is still functioning.” Fred Wilson, partner of United Square Ventures, said he was growing in bitcoin on 25 February.
资深比特币持有者肯表示，比特币的交易价格在下跌，但仍比18个月前他买入时上涨了10倍。“发生MtGox破产这样的事真是太糟糕了，但我们必须面对现实，然后接着买入。”肯告诉英国《金融时报》。
& nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; Senior Bitcoin Holders would have said that bitcoin's transaction price was falling, but it was still 10 times higher than when he bought it 18 months ago. “It's too bad that MtGox went bankrupt, but we have to face reality and then buy it.
伦敦政治经济学院经济史学家加里克·海尔曼持有不同的观点，他告诉美国消费者新闻与商业频道（CNBC），投资者可能再也看不到他们的钱了，“MtGox的用户应该恐慌”。
& nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; Garic Heilman, an economic historian at the London School of Political Economy, who held a different view, told the American Consumer News and Business Channel (CNBC) that investors might never see their money again, “The users of MtGox should panic”.
MtGox的突然关闭令比特币市场规范化成为人们关注的焦点。美国《商业周刊》称，6家大型比特币交易平台已联合发表声明，承诺将采取独立审计、信息透明等措施，加强比特币的信用。
& nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; MtGox’s sudden closure has brought into focus the normalization of the Bitcoin market. According to the United States weekly Business, six large Bitcoin trading platforms have issued a joint statement committing to strengthening Bitcoin’s credit through independent auditing, transparency of information, etc.
比特币资深持有者、美国乔治梅森大学马卡斯特中心技术研究项目总监杰米·布里托评论道：“MtGox的关闭，意味着不合时宜的老旧平台被清除。只有那些拥有正确方法和严肃态度的公司才能生存。”
& nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; and Jamie Brito, Senior Holder of Bitcoin, Director of Technology Research at the MacArthur Center, George Mason University, United States of America, commented: “The closure of MtGox means that old and old platforms have been removed from time to time. Only companies with the right methods and seriousness can survive.”
