How long does it take to make it into the Bitcoin Days Destroyed charts?
Here is the 30 day chart and there is no rise from this transfer:

I have solace knowing that this is not going to be a dump as it is an old school long time holder. But might start selling some, taper the fast rise some.

Or was confiscated from an old school long time holder.

Confiscated implies some wrongdoing. I see nothing to warrant an accusation like that.

No he sold it to turnkey linux. I forgot the guys name, but I am trying to buy it as soon as it is released. I have contacted namecheap in hopes of bring it back to a block explorer.

There's nothing to imply "rightdoing." This could be Queen Elizabeth II's stash of Bitcoins from selling cocaine on Silk Road for all we know.

Did she tell you that?

She's usually more discreet.

You must be an absolute fool to believe that 9.2 billion USD actually flowed into Bitcoin.

It is an old miner. Old miners were mostly believers in BTC. It had no value back then. If they didn't believe they would have sold by now.

If someone wants to dump that many coins it would hurt the seller dumping them at once. Clearly they would be doing it to kill confidence and the price. That would be temporary. They would have to sell them across the big 4 exchanges. That would probably bring the price down to the 200's or 300's judging by the market depth.

All conjecture at this point but I have faith in an old miner. Time will tell, that much we can agree on.

Market cap does not mean the amount of money that flowed into a stock. It is a simple metric, number of outstanding shares times the price.
Perhaps think before name calling.

Some seem to believe it does. Obviously Ekaros hinted at that by mentioning 'real market cap'. Bitcoin has not enough liquidity to live up to that number of 9 Billion, not even close. That number by 50 is what you could get out if you wanted, maybe.

I'm not sure I follow you. If we look at the order book, there is a pretty solid number that we know (how many buyers below, sellers above - though manipulated). There are also orders not on the orderbook - and perhaps they dwarf it.

Well, anyway, with all that BTC represents, perhaps it is fair to say that it deserves a HUGE market cap. We have a stock (in the network), asset, currency, protocol, development platform, commodity, etc. all in one. And, it is in the financial sector during a time of crisis. We have a new entity and by all measure, it certainly seems to be moving up in an S-Curve fashion.

I would not be shocked in 5 years to see the "market cap" at 1 Trillion USD. But likewise, I would not be shocked (just saddened if the mission was not accomplished or set in motion) if it was lower than now.

I wonder why everyone is just writing bunch of random names of random people that allegedly have a big amount of coins.
Wouldn't it be more likely that Satoshi is moving some of his coins around?
