LOL You think someone is shorting BTC? Ummmm
you do realize the United States Marshals are going to auction off another few more million dollars worth of the Silkroad BTC some time this month.
Last auction a few million dollars of those old Silkroad BTC were bought for deep discounts and dumped... they hit the market hard. Prepare for round 2 of some BTC dumping... just sayin
What makes you think it's going to be this month?
Because they announced it
http://www.usmarshals.gov/assets/2014/dpr-bitcoins/Where do you see that? This already took place.
"The bitcoin transfer process will begin immediately following receipt of purchase funds"
Whoever bought them has them since December.
You got me on that one... there was speculation the USMS would hold the auction in January and then revised it... this is the latest Press release, more detail to it.
http://www.coindesk.com/us-marshals-bitcoin-auction-q1/The group that won that auction paid for it pretty quickly and at a deep discount... they may? or maynot be liquidating and setting up to buy again on the upcoming auction. Only makes sense... much more than squeezing the ever elusive shorty.
