Title: Re: Ernst n Young to Auction Victoria Police Bitcoins Post by: Bitcoinpro on May 30, 2016, 03:24:20 PM not a big deal. should not move the price. hopefully it keeps it stable if anything, price feels like it really has alot of upward momentum, i really want it to stay sub $1,000 cause otherwise i have to move my estimates, Title: Re: Ernst n Young to Auction Victoria Police Bitcoins Post by: Kprawn on May 30, 2016, 03:36:01 PM Well it will be a good thing, because it will put those "idle" Bitcoins back into the hands of the Bitcoin community. I would much rather have those coins in the hands of a Bitcoiner, than in the hands of
some government organization. Yes, it will influence the price a little bit, but it will be temporary... those coins are not enough to make a huge impact. The Silkroad coins on the other hand, made a bigger ripple in the pond. ::) Title: Re: Ernst n Young to Auction Victoria Police Bitcoins Post by: pereira4 on May 30, 2016, 03:44:05 PM not a big deal. should not move the price. hopefully it keeps it stable if anything, price feels like it really has alot of upward momentum, i really want it to stay sub $1,000 cause otherwise i have to move my estimates, I think a lot of people will commit a massive mistake when we go $ 1,000+ again, because they will sell due being near to ATH + 1k being a classic psychological barrier, they will expect a big correction to get back in, the problem I see with this is, a lot of people will be left behind in this move, because the correction may not be as big as some people expect. Sure, there is probably money to be made by shorting BTC at 1k, but there is a lot to lose if you are left behind in the middle of the next big upraise which could be anywhere beyond last ATH.

But yeah, it's the rule for these.
Anyone has news on how the winning bidders for the Silk road auction used their btc? If they're speculating up till now, they've already got huge profits I suppose.

I guess it does as any dump will be absorbed by the halving pump, that's the theory any way.

He shouldn't have any difficulty in absorbing these coins. |
