內部電子郵件揭示了Ripple精心製作的比特幣塗片活動

投入：在與美國證券交易委員會（SEC）的案件中提交的2018年BTC目標的電子郵件正在進行社交媒體。

Newly released internal emails from Ripple, submitted in the ongoing case with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), are making rounds of social media. The emails, part of a broader batch of documents from 2018, reveal that the blockchain firm’s team actively discussed promoting the narrative that Bitcoin is a China-controlled currency.

在與美國證券交易委員會（SEC）持續提交的Ripple新發行的內部電子郵件正在進行社交媒體。這些電子郵件是2018年以來更廣泛的文檔的一部分，該電子郵件表明，區塊鏈公司的團隊積極討論了宣傳比特幣是中國控制的貨幣的敘述。

One of the recently cited leaked emails, titled “4) China + Bitcoin,’ contains the message: “This feels similar to what Brad and [Redacted] already say publicly about Bitcoin being run by China.”

最近引用的一封洩漏的電子郵件，標題為“ 4）中國 +比特幣”，其中包含以下信息：“這感覺與布拉德和[已編輯]已經公開發表了關於比特幣由中國經營的信息。”

Another part summarizes a plan to create an “insights post” differentiating XRP from other cryptocurrencies: “ We could pitch this out as it would get a ton of play as ‘Ripple’s Response to [Redacted].’ Note: This feels like it would run opposite to our current promotion efforts around exchanges. As of right now, we have told all current or future exchanges that we are not able to provide promotion help.”

另一部分總結了一個計劃，以創建一個“見解帖子”，將XRP與其他加密貨幣區分開來：“我們可以將其提出來，因為它將獲得大量的遊戲，因為'Ripple對[Recalacted]的回應'。注意：這感覺就像我們目前圍繞交流的晉升工作相反。截至目前，我們已經告訴所有當前或將來的交流，我們無法提供晉升幫助。”

Moreover, email correspondence between the Ripple team dated July 19, 2018, indicates a straightforward discussion about how best to articulate Bitcoin’s perceived centralization problems.

此外，2018年7月19日的連鎖團隊之間的電子郵件信件表明，關於如何最好地表達比特幣的集中化問題的簡單討論。

One team member noted: “How is the bitcoin/china story different than the one we are already working on with [Redacted]? Are we willing to put someone on the record now to specifically call out bitcoin and ethereum?” The emails emphasize that “China + Bitcoin” was a subject matter at Ripple, apparently aimed at spotlighting Bitcoin’s alleged vulnerabilities tied to Chinese mining pools to champion XRP as “decentralized”.

一位團隊成員指出：“比特幣/中國的故事與我們已經與[編輯的]一起工作的故事有何不同？我們是否願意將某人放在記錄中，以特別召集比特幣和以太坊？”這些電子郵件強調，“中國 +比特幣”是Ripple的一個主題，顯然是旨在關注比特幣所謂的與中國採礦池相關的脆弱性，稱其為“分散”。

These newly surfaced emails come after US President Donald Trump announced the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. As ZyCrypto reported, Ripple has aggressively lobbied for a multi-asset strategic reserve instead of a Bitcoin-only one — a stance that has been met with criticism from BTC adherents.

在美國總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）宣布美國戰略比特幣保護區之後，這些新浮出水面的電子郵件。正如Zycrypto報導的那樣，Ripple積極遊說多資產的戰略儲備，而不是僅比特幣的儲備，這一立場受到了BTC信徒的批評。

Commentators on X quickly pointed to an October 9, 2018 post on X (formerly Twitter) from Ripple CTO David Schwartz, where he wrote: “A new study shows China controls 74% of bitcoin. Does that sound decentralized to you?”According to some, this post aligns with the July 2018 email exchanges, implying a collaborative PR strategy to portray Bitcoin as highly centralized.

X上的評論員迅速指出了2018年10月9日在Ripple CTO CTO David Schwartz上發表的X（以前為Twitter）的帖子，在那裡他寫道：“一項新的研究表明，中國控制了74％的比特幣。據某些人說，這篇文章與2018年7月的電子郵件交流一致，這意味著將比特幣描繪成高度集中的協作公關策略。

Prominent Ripple critic Pierre Rochard, Vice president of Research at mining giant Riot Platforms, reacted on X:

礦業巨頭騷亂平台研究副總裁著名的波紋評論家Pierre Rochard在X上做出了反應：

“I don’t respect David Schwartz, Ripple, or XRP. For the past decade, their marketing strategy to hype their pre-mined altcoin has been to buy and promote anti-bitcoin disinformation while pretending that banks want to use XRP (they don’t). They’ll say and do anything to advance their centralized garbage ‘technology’ that has zero utility.”

“我不尊重David Schwartz，Ripple或XRP。在過去的十年中，他們的營銷策略炒作了預定的Altcoin一直是在假裝銀行想使用XRP的同時購買和促進反比位幣虛假信息（它們不）。他們會說並做任何事情來推進其集中式垃圾“技術”，該垃圾的實用性為零。”

Rochard added that Ripple’s Garlinghouse did his best to paint Bitcoin as controlled by China and bad for the environment. But the truth, according to him, ultimately won while Garlinghouse lost.

Rochard補充說，Ripple的Garlinghouse竭盡全力將比特幣描繪為中國控制的，對環境不利。但事實，據他說，最終在加林豪斯（Garlinghouse）輸了時贏了。

Notably, Ripple has a notorious history of firing shots at Bitcoin. Back in 2022, furious Bitcoiners scoffed at Ripple co-founder and Executive Chairman Chris Larsen after he launched a crusade aimed at forcing a BTC code change to a consensus mechanism less taxing on the environment.

值得注意的是，Ripple在比特幣上開槍射擊有臭名昭著的歷史。早在2022年，憤怒的比特幣人在Ripple聯合創始人和執行董事長Chris Larsen發起了一支旨在迫使BTC代碼更改以減少對環境徵稅的共識機制後，嘲笑了他。
