They are just auctioning off the small part of the bitcoins too. The US will still have a huge stash.
Does anyone think it is funny that in the movie the DPR would just be a pirate long enough to get rich and then he would retire and live a comfortable life. Where as the Silkroad DPR just kept on going and going until he was the largest holder of bitcoins in the world (except Satoshi). By then, yes, of course he would get caught.

At least they auction them in bulks, one can hope that big whales pig them up and stash them away, it would be nasty if they just dumped all of them on the exchanges.

Cryptography is one of the few things you can truly trust.

Well, since it is a auction, then is the final price not know yet... |

Better if an genuine investment fund bought them and made it public. This would be fantastic for BTC |

That is an "unknown" type of link that is sometimes dangerous. Do you have a relevant paragraph to quote, or a link to a more familiar site? Thanks |

I prefer my comic strips to have faces, whoever creates them on xkcd must have some psychological issues?  Isn't this auction causing people to expose their personal information to the US government that a lot of them otherwise seem to hide? This appears to be another good way for the US government to collect information about high financial players of bitcoin and I would expect a lot of people wouldn't want to go anywhere near this auction..… combined with such short notice, this may keep bidding very low and give the winner(s) more of a reason to dump them at market value for a nice profit |

Savvy "mainstream" wealthy people, some of whom would never consider using a typical Bitcoin exchange, now have a chance to pick up amounts of BTC which they expect to hold for Huge gains. This helps reduce the overall supply even more, and the party rolls on... |

Yes this is basicly most legal way in US to buy BTC right now. Noone cant ask you anything after this.
"Sir where did you get your BTC from?"

Don't forget they're gonna tax it for you  And will probably be the most non-anonymous coins out there. |

Wish I could get in on this action. Alas I don't have the minimum $200,000 to place a bid.  |

Interesting to think how this will affect bitcoin prices
On the open market.
First instinct is to say OMG they are making huge sells.
Second thought is, it's a private sale, and will be met with a private buy.
It won't touch the open market.
On the other hand, investors that buy their coins
from the FBI arguably would have done so on the open
market and driven price up more, so we'd miss that...
...but... Then again, buyers may get a discount because
buying these coins are a big pain and less anonymous,
So may attract additional dollars into bitcoin. Also it
may generate press and more investors.
overall, I'm not expecting any huge price moves when
The auction takes place.
