Preliminary evidence is that the auction went well. http://www.coindesk.com/third-usms-bitcoin-auction-bidder-interest/

We'll know more next week.

I dont know what's going on with this giant auction but the two ETFs that are forming and getting approved are eventually going to skyrocket the bitcoin price so I don't care what happens day to day, I'm not selling my coins from now on till it passes $350

I don't know why people are so excited about an auction they aren't taking part in. Not much happened after the previous ones and nothing will this time, you can go back to whatever you were doing.

Lol, it's just about an opinion... And yes, if you don't take part in something, I don't think that you are anywhere bound to not post any opinion regarding the same. Do you mean we should first just go there, bid for 2k BTC block, and then come here and start some discussion?

So, people talking about the Giants should become a Giant first, right?

It depends. Auctions always indicates how the price will go in the future.

There is a poll on www.onestopbrokers.com  about "Will Digital Currencies become more popular in 2015?" you can share your view here by selecting from the 3 answers and see what other people believe.

http://insidebitcoins.com/news/us-government-schedules-third-silk-road-bitcoin-auction/30012

Taking place today, 5th March, 2015, the third seized 50,000 Bitcoins auction took place with the bidders having six hours, i.e.; 8 am to 2 pm to submit their bids.

What do you think on "how this will actually affect the price at any cost"?

Share your views on what will be the outcome after the third auction of stolen coins.

These auctions do not hit the market directly. So, they are not a problem except the panic factor.

and I see it's been 5 days bitcoin prices rise, is this from the effects of the auction?

Yesterday daily volume, considering only the 4 (*) western major exchanges, was more or less 90K btc .

If you take into in consideration also far-east (read: chinese) counterpart you'll reach a grand total of 520K btc.

So 50K represents less than 1/10th of the daily exchanged bitcoin even in a depressed market phase like this one.

That said, draw your conclusions.


(*) Bitfinex, Bitstamp, BTC-e and Coinbase

None of the bidders are stupid enough to pay market price (or MORE) for bitcoin auction. all the bidders will pay BELOW whatever the market is. so I think it won't affect current price, and yeah, noone wants to sell a ton of coins for less than they bought them for unless there was a huge tax write off or something.

Bidders are also clever in terms of $$$. Sure enough, they don't want to buy in at a loss and sell-off at a loss also, so I too doubt that the auction will affect the current price.

It already affected the price yesterday and I think before the auction took place...
As it was settled down a bit for the bids to be testified and again sent back up a bit showing some sort of correction...
I think it was more than 6 hours during which this happened, and who knows, those hours might be during the auction's run...
