Title: Almost one per cent of the bigcoins in circulation were released today!
Post by: YoYa on June 11, 2011, 06:56:06 PM
So the news is the fall......but the real good news is that one of the top ten in the rich list has relinquished their holdings and let their coins run free in the bitcoin economy!!! Now those coins rest in the hands of hundreds of individuals who will hopefully do more with them then hoard them. We've just had a bitcoin stimulus, may our economy be all the better for it.

Liquidity is good!

That is all.

release of 1% causes a 110% price drop....

It's a rare event, events precipitate falls, the gains from the increased distribution will outweigh the fall.   8)

The majority of them will be bought and held. Gresham's law.

Check your math, a 110% drop would mean the price went negative.

Where can I get bigcoins? What's their exchange rate? Can I mine them? ;P

Am I paid 2.1 dollars every time I get one because of the negative exchange rate, fi it is relative to BTC?

Pretty sure he meant -110% growth within the last 48 hrs, not total value...

It's percentage so you have to multiply by 0.01, so he meant 1.1BTC drop.

Not in the slightest. Probably just added a little bit to this cyclical correction.

Check that math... $20 minus 110 percent equals... negative $22.

$10->$20 = 100% increase
$20->$10 = 50% decrease

True, but you forgot to mention the assumption that you are only dealing in base 10.

Not likely... you could find out if that is true looking at the blockchain, but I imagine far less then 20% changed hands multiple times as people thought they were buying up at the bottom out.  There is good money to be made here as some people fall to fear, and the price drops farther then it should.  If only I had some money available to buy in now!

Farther than it should? What's the floor on this? Where should it be? It'll take awhile before the price actually stabilizes and finds a trading range.
