Mark who? And how did he gain access to the Silk Road bitcoins that the U.S. government seized? |

Looks like multiple outputs to a previous address were all consolidated into a single output at a new address. They haven't moved from that address yet. Not sure why they would be consolidated like that, but untill I see more movement I'm going to assume it's just some sort of "housekeeping". |

Yes, maybe cold storage or something. |

You'd have to ask them. I'm sure there was some sort of paper work involved and probably some bureaucratic nonsense. |

Umm, are the public notes from the seized coin address from when Dread held the coins? Because they're pretty much like 'wtf'?
And I doubt they'll sell them all at once. That would be stupid.

There are no IP addresses in bitcoin transactions. That IP address is the address of the peer that first relayed the transaction to blockchain.info. It easily could have been forwarded through MANY peers before it got to blockchain.info. |

You'd have to ask them. I'm sure there was some sort of paper work involved and probably some bureaucratic nonsense. Could be any number of reasons. For example, control of the coins could have been turned over to another department/office/individual and he/she/they wished to eliminate the possibility that the previous guardian could still access them. |
Still around.

Once it was figured out that this was the address that the U.S. government was using to hold the seized bitcoins, many people thought it would be humorous to send a very small amount of bitcoins directly to the government and include some sort of public message with the transaction. |

So we take up the scenario where these coins will get into market how low you think we will sink..! I can understand it will be good for bitcoins in long term but talking about short term we might see a very high decline in price.

One can only hope that you are correct. I'm looking forward to picking up some cheap bitcoins. On the other hand, it's only 174,000 BTC. That's about the same amount of bitcoins that are created every 48 days. |
