Title: Re: US Marshals: One Auction Bidder Claimed All 30,000 Silk Road Bitcoins Post by: DannyElfman on July 01, 2014, 09:42:54 PM This is very interesting. I am curious to know the price levels that the other bids were placed at.
From the looks of it, a large institution is trying to purchase a lot of bitcoin Title: Re: US Marshals: One Auction Bidder Claimed All 30,000 Silk Road Bitcoins Post by: Alley on July 01, 2014, 09:44:18 PM Had to of been a high bid if they were to ensure getting every coin. Very bullish indeed.

OMG it was totes Bruce Wayne. Title: Re: US Marshals: One Auction Bidder Claimed All 30,000 Silk Road Bitcoins Post by: PolarPoint on July 01, 2014, 09:49:54 PM Must be a wall street investment bank trying to buy all the coins for a bitcoin ETF. 30,000 coins is a lot of money :-\
Title: Re: US Marshals: One Auction Bidder Claimed All 30,000 Silk Road Bitcoins Post by: Ron~Popeil on July 01, 2014, 09:52:31 PM It has to be some institutional thing like an investment fund. I doubt some secret millionaire is out there gobbling up bit coins like that. Either way one buyer means it is less likely that the market gets flooded with bit coin for sale.
Title: Re: US Marshals: One Auction Bidder Claimed All 30,000 Silk Road Bitcoins Post by: hellscabane on July 01, 2014, 10:08:48 PM What I wonder now if how inline the winning bid is in relation to current market prices. From what I calculated, basing off of weekend prices and volume, 30k BTC would have pushed prices as high as $750 (assuming that coins were bought at chunks at a time instead of in one-go).

Rich people, yaaaaaa :D http://static.fjcdn.com/pictures/rich_a6aff3_2904110.jpeg Title: Re: US Marshals: One Auction Bidder Claimed All 30,000 Silk Road Bitcoins Post by: franky1 on July 01, 2014, 10:21:03 PM coin desk prints it
coindesk shows no source for the quote must be 100% Title: Re: US Marshals: One Auction Bidder Claimed All 30,000 Silk Road Bitcoins Post by: galbros on July 01, 2014, 11:22:59 PM Well if true this would be consistent with the subsequent price action, i.e. up. With so many buyers not getting coins below market like they hoped, the incentive is now there to buy them on the market and the price has moved up nicely since Friday. This is good news!
Good Luck! Title: Re: US Marshals: One Auction Bidder Claimed All 30,000 Silk Road Bitcoins Post by: DurbanPoison on July 01, 2014, 11:34:57 PM My money is on the Winklevoss twins.
Title: Re: US Marshals: One Auction Bidder Claimed All 30,000 Silk Road Bitcoins Post by: runam0k on July 01, 2014, 11:35:36 PM 30,000 coins sounds like a lot to us mere mortals. But to people or groups of people worth 100s of millions or billions, it's a bet/reasonable investment. Some people literally don't know what to do with all the money they have.

They're gonna save them. Whoever it is might slowly trickle dump them over a period of months and make an easy million if they got them a bit below the market price. They will probably keep them, but you never know.
