The ethereum IPO bitcoin address had had exactly the same message sent to it. It's the same person trying the same thing on every well publicized address that he knows people will be watching. I doubt he will make anything out of it, if he does it wil only be a small amount.

You can add a note to your transaction to that address. It'll gradually fall away if other transactions arrive. I guess he hopes someone will spot it and send huge amounts of BTC. It's worth a few satoshis if you're lazy and hopeful.

Some of the big addresses have some entertaining death threats too.

https://blockchain.info/address/12pCPrWvudnefJCtXQUBcm9z2NogtC3Rix
and

They are as i know USmarshall auction cold wallets , why do they have that note and people are sending money to it Huh

The message is added in the incoming transaction, US Marshals have no control over that.

You can see the transaction here:

https://blockchain.info/tx/4429090838f3c3585a0496a6ee427e4ad18ace787d58440d7ebd2b190a82e06b

1HELPMEWinQPNsYmbJU2siyKUCEZaNYj7j is the sending address, US Marshals 12pCPrWvudnefJCtXQUBcm9z2NogtC3Rix the receiving address.

Remember back in last summer, the Bitcoin raised up to 650$ after the auction, so, what about this time?

Actually, back then the Bitcoins were auctioned at a premium, compared to the market rate. That was the sole reason behind the Bitcoin rally then. Let's wait and watch what happens this time.

One man brought all the coins auctioned in the first auction and announced he was holding them all rather than selling. That's why we had a rally afterwards. There were many winners of lots in the second auction and I guess they dumped because there was crash after crash afterwards.

We did not have rally after it, we were in 600s when first auction was announced. Then chopping around that without idea how auction will play and then got dump few days after.

I wouldn't give too much attention to the auctions affecting exchange prices.  If (IF) I were a capable wannabe large holder, then I'd offer something close to market value, or maybe a little more to avoid screwing with the markets, as it would be BTC I'd be interested in rather than USD in that scenario, and just want the least damage to my FIAT wallet as possible.

Nothing is being created or destroyed, just reassigned.

If my future intentions were to have a company that used the blockchain for some purpose other than money, then I'd need to hold a certain amount of coins or sub-units to make transactions happen (like buying a block of IP addresses for an ISP business).  There's only so many, and if widely adopted (which is our gamble) then those finite units could have value in many ways other than just USD equival.

I think what I'm trying to say is that not everyone here is looking at this just as a FIAT gaining exercise.  Sure a good trader will have opportunity if they still have both feet in the FIAT world and want to trade for USD profit, but some people here have decided to cut that tether, or have a foot in both camps for the near term to watch how it would unfold.

Have they finally emptied their cache?

Wish this causes a trend reversal



How is it they come to the decision to sell at these prices, seems like nobody has a brain over there.  Or perhaps no single person has the power to make sale date decisions.

They're doing OK.
Yeah, the market price is shittier than it was during the previous auction, and back then it was shittier than during the first one, but hey, hindsight, amirite?  Besides, the BTC is just bonus--Bitcoiners crowdfunded DPR's investigation/pwnage.

Its mostly people who fair the price of bitcoin to crash. And if they think of that, they see losing money and probably dump and get out.

But unfortunately, it goes up instead and they regret it the next day .

^Market price during the first auction > market price during the second auction > market price now.
Only possible regret: "Why didn't we sell this bag earlier?! Sad "
