Do you think U.S. Marshall auction 29,656.51306529 bitcoins will affect price?

Will the winner of that auction instantly sell off 29,656.51306529 bitcoins for a quick profit?
If so, will it affect the Bitcoin's price?

The rules of supply and demand say it will.

There will be additional supply that was not previously there while demand would stay constant.

I think that it has already affected it, with that dip when it was announced some days ago.

The sell itself will not happen on the exchanges, so it should not represent a sell-force.

BTW, this thread should have a better place in Economics > Speculation.

No effect.  The FUD might, but the auction, no.  And if you're a bidder, slide me some of that MarshalCoin for good karma!  Lol...

Yes.....for a very short period of time. Then, like usual after the debris settles, everything will go back to the normal gradual upswing.

Temporarily yes, think we might see $500-550 at least for a while
Would expect the market to recover pretty fast though

Yes, it will affect price for sure, either directly or indirectly. The direct way would be the auction winners dumping it on the markets or exchanges. The indirect way is people preemptively sell their bitcoins in anticipation for the dump after the auction. This might have already happened with the recent dip. Btw, this thread belongs in the speculation subforum.

is this open auction (bidder can see another bidder price) or close auction (bidder ask price in close paper)?
I think very sure they will immediately dump in exchange for quick profit if they get it for cheaper price than markets
but if they won auction with same price or even higher price than markets, they will hold it for a while, and dump it when right time coming
however, this is not good for market, since someone has many bitcoins can dump it anytime Sad

I'm not so sure that the final price will be lower (or quite lower) than the current market price.
In that case, there is no reason to dump them on the market.

IMVHO, the ending auction price could be even higher.
I don't have a precise idea but I think it could be possible if we start to consider, in a random order, the strictly rules of the auctions, the kind of entities that demonstrated their interest, the fact that someone could prefer to buy without moving the market and the fact that these BTC will be sold - for the first time - through a somehow OFFICIAL way.

Anyone who thinks this will not cause a crash is nuts.
Think about it, 30k btc will be sold super cheap, maybe anywhere between 50-80% of the current market price. This by itself won't have an effect, but as soon as the buyers receive those coins they will be dumped on the regular exchanges to take that difference as profit and we will see a big drop.
This drop will in turn cause a panic sell-off, so i suspect we'll end up anywhere between 200-300 USD soon. We can already see it coming down the past days, fear is grabbing a hold of people already even though nothing has happened.

You must be from the future then.

So, they will be sold super cheap? On what information did you base that idea?

You must've sold out then? Go play outside.

Based on the fact that auctions are expensive, a big chunk of the amount goes to the auction house and i doubt the buyer will pay 15-20% extra for their bitcoins just to be that nice guy.

30k btc = 8 days mining i dont think prices would change that much, maybe a couple bucks.  Great opportunity for a big whale to buy in i should imagine the interest will be very large at this auction.

1. How do you know they'll use an auction house for digital currency's. Since when does the buyer at an auction pay the up-price, that's usually the cost of the seller not the buyer.

2. So because people are greedy, they'll dump the coins? Most bidders are pro-bitcoin. And even if they weren't, they'd know that they could earn a lot more if they didn't dump them but sell them gradually, IF they wanted to do that. Considering they are mostly pro-btc, there is a high chance they'll hodl. I don't expect any significant dump to happen.

3. I expect the people bidding on the auction to be wealthy enough to see this as a small investment, it's not your average Joe bidding here. Therefore I expect them to have no reason to sell quickly.

First I'm quite skeptical  that all btc gonna go to a single person/organization..! If someone can pls confirm that. because what I heard is that they are not gonna bid for all  29,656.51306529 bitcoins at once.
 Ok lets take the case of if that happens and a persons succeeds in acquiring all 30kbtc from auction , I won't call it a wise decision to dump all the coins at once. seems totally absurd to me, dumping them according to market and necessity would be wiser.
 One other thing that matters is who wins the auction, as the list is already leaked, there are few good names in it.[although they all are in for money]

Well I don't think that it will have any impact on the price, maybe only some minimal one.
We are having trouble staying above $600 as it is now.

Not at all because if you look at the people who will be bidding it is obvious that they will be hodling, not dumping  Cheesy
