"Maybe the largest unknown store of physical gold in the world is the Vatican Gold. For nearly two thousand years the church has been hoarding gold gained from wars and conquests in the name of God. Throughout the ages people have been shoveling vast amounts of gold into the collection trays every Sunday.

It would be great if they sold all at once because we are not gong anywhere... it will only bring more money in in a frenzy to buy the bottom. Sadly they wouldn't do this.. they would rather sell slowly and keep the market from rising similar to gold... however once they are done.. buying pressure will take them over and we will rise regardless of their efforts.. actually its good they sell now and not later when btc is $10k
What happened when US ran out of gold? Yes: they wage war and take it from Saddam, Gadhaffi, Ukraine and everywhere else there is some. Maybe we don't want those crazies with big guns run out of bitcoins? Loading tonnes and tonnes of gold onto cargo planes in the middle of the night headed straight to America. In retrospect, it seems sort of... unseemly? unseemly? surely you know the US is an extraordinary nation. Hence, they don't have to play by the rules. They have extraordinary privileges given by god. Since printing USD doesn't work so well any more, clearly they are entitled to taking other peoples gold. What I don't understand, though: since they're gods nation, why don't they just take the vast quantities of gold from the Vatican? What's the (unofficial) estimate for Vatican's gold reserves? Does anyone have an order of magnitude estimate for this? ~ 5k tonnes

Is it totally implausible that agents of a Central Bank could be quietly buying BTC and systematically dumping at a loss at precise times in order to suppress price?
Net losses would be negligible for that type of entity and might easily be swept under the rug in a context of monetary expansion.
This is delusional thinking. BTC does not register enough for them to take all these trouble. In future maybe, but certainly not now.

A true champion of freedom of speech has died in the age of 37: Ville Oksanen, Founding Member of EFFI (EFF Finland)I have once appealed to Ville (he was a lawyer) in my case of persecution by the government. Now he is gone. Cause of death is not confirmed. Being an advocate of freedom of speech and truly working on that, is as deadly now as it has always been, no matter in what continent the country is located. Thank you Ville. We will continue.

Suppressing the price of Bitcoin will make it more attractive to investors, this will likely increase the adoption rate. Ultimately nothing anybody says or does can prevent the expansion and adoption of Bitcoin at this point. The reason for this is because "I want it to exist" and "you want it to exist" and that is not about to change. I couldn't care less what the price of Bitcoin is relative to the dollar, it could be 1 US dollar per bitcoin or a million dollars per bitcoin, it makes absolutely no difference to me whatsoever. In real terms the only thing that matters is the number of transactions per day, we need to promote Bitcoin and increase it's adoption. Be assured I will continue to fight, to push forward with blood dripping, blood dripping from my guns, blood dripping from my bullet wounds, as I march forward into battle. Am I alone in this battle? No! for I march with millions. We have done the 'War on Drugs' We have done the 'War on Terror' Now we must have the 'War on the Dollar' March on Soldiers!!!

Maybe war on the ignorance of dishonest money in general. Call it the "War on Financialization." I'm fine with dollars if they are backed by something useful and not the whims of lawgivers, at least in the short term.
