The price of bitcoin will likely fall in anticipation of the auction, however will rise once all the supply has reached the market.

The auction will likely make the mainstream media and will raise awareness about bitcoin.

Indeed happened, you are some kind of wizard or I lack some Bitcoin logistics, anyway, our crypto-baby is having a good time Grin

the loosing bidders likely bought bitcoin on exchanges after they realized that they did not win their bid

Does anyone know what was the actual price at the auction? Some other thread says that Second Market were outbid, meaning someone offered a higher price then what they did. I wonder what it was and who got it in the end.

The guy from Rowan likely was on that list because he was asking questions about the auctions for academic purposes. Professors are pretty well paid but generally do not have that much money

Well paid but do not have much money? They don't have saving?

They are not so well paid that they have 2-3 million that then can invest in a speculative investment

some great things to come out of this

The US government has made bitcoin even more legitimate with the selling of btc

this must be the ultimate tick for btc as a currency if your own government is profiting from btc

another tick and if I am correct is the purchase of btc by this organisation BNP Paribas (the Bank of Paris), never heard of a bank purchasing btc

a list of investors looking into buying the silk road btc from coindesk
