Title: Who keeps selling hundreds of bitcoins at Mt.Gox?
Post by: emmettoc on February 16, 2014, 04:06:58 AM
Hi,

As the title, I'm just wondering who keeps selling hundreds of bitcoins to prevent price from going up?

You can observe the phenomenon frequently:

The Feds have already announced that they'd liquidate the almost 30,000 BTC seized from the Silk Road seizure but didn't say when they'd do it.  I've been looking for signs that they started.

To maximize their value they would sell the BTC in small lots to prevent a market crash but you'd still notice it in market action.

Already much more than 30,000 BTC was sold.

How do you think they are paying everyone's income-tax returns this year... But they stalled some by 21 days, to adjust for gox's withdraw period...

Then they seize those BTC because that "looks suspicious" and Gox didn't report it, then they have next-years income-tax returns already to go too!
