I don't really see it increase again as long as these amounts of Bitcoins are for sale by the FBI.

What the hell are you talking about?  It is only 30,000 coins.  They are not for sale by the FBI.  They are going to be auctioned off later this month.  Nothing you said is true or makes any sense at all.

Our family was terrorized by Homeland Security.  Read all about it here:  http://www.jmwagner.com/ and http://www.burtw.com/  Any donations to help us recover from the $300,000 in legal fees and forced donations to the Federal Asset Forfeiture slush fund are greatly appreciated!

By the time they are sold, more than twice that amount will have been produced by miners.

It's a good thing they are not yet selling DPR's coins, though.

I wasn't up to date about the real amounts at that time, excuse me. I thought they were offering way more coins than that. According to articles like for example http://www.coindesk.com/vc-firm-bid-fbi-silk-road-bitcoins/ people think the FBI owns about 5%-10% of all Bitcoins. If these went for sale, it will harm the bitcoin even more.

It looks like they're indeed "just" selling (-> by an auction later on) the coins seized from SR. Looks like more people have noticed this, as the price increased again.

We should gather up in bunches of 3,000, each member giving the money for one coin. There would only be the need for 30,000 of us buying those coins away and then just hodl them.

They dont look really smart. The registration time is short, which limits the amount of bidders. And the blocks are huge which limits bidders even more.

I see a chance that persons with big pockets can make a good deal because of their stupidity.

Please ALWAYS contact me through bitcointalk pm before sending someone coins.

Yes, there are only 3 days to send the 200k$ by bank transfer. Looks fishy, like the feds wanted to limit the bidders to those with already prepared $.
My guess is those coins will be sold well below market price.

Sometimes, if it looks too bullish, it's actually bearish

could be that they have certain friends who might want a nice "hookup" with some bitcoins.. all they'd have to do is work hard to limit access to people, and then once there are only a few bidders, you can have a field day.

Why dont they wanna keep it?

woulda been cool if they decided to do their payroll with BTC.. instead of liquidating it. but i guess it's more lucrative to set up a small field for your friends to score some coins on the cheap.

Great, hopefully they'll auction 170k coins soon. Time to get rid of that FUD dream argument once for all. Then there is just one direction to move  Wink

No, we have been waiting for them to sell off the first 30K coins and they announced the auction schedule so now we know.  This is the first auction of coins.

Great, hopefully they'll auction 170k coins soon. Time to get rid of that FUD dream argument once for all. Then there is just one direction to move  Wink
The rest of the coins have to wait until a court issue is settled because DPR has claimed them as his personal property.

Our family was terrorized by Homeland Security.  Read all about it here:  http://www.jmwagner.com/ and http://www.burtw.com/  Any donations to help us recover from the $300,000 in legal fees and forced donations to the Federal Asset Forfeiture slush fund are greatly appreciated!

I do not think they need to wait to the end of the trial on this one, those crimes where held by a criminal organization no matter if it was DPR as the leader or not.

They usually contract someone out to do sales for them and give them a cut, which makes it in the interest of the contracted seller to get the highest price possible and advertise far and wide. I think we will see a bitcoin business pop up shortly and say they have been contacted by the GOV to dispose of coins.

Damn almost lol, figured they would hire a executor of some sort to dispose of the coins though. It is odd how fast this auction has cropped up though. Take real estate it is advertised for 3-6 months before they auction it.

The judge told them they could sell of this smaller 30K BTC portion (the portion not claimed by DPR) months ago.  They are only now getting around to doing it.

Seriously?! Not sure if you are being sarcastic or not. It's a giant dump of bitcoin at a cheaper amount.
