Define how it would apply to Bitcoin.

Buying bitcoins to sell to someone at a later date for a higher price due to artificially drying up the supply (isn't that squatting too?)

Imagine how dangerous it could potentially be if like Overstock kept 100% of their Bitcoins.  Rather than relying on Bitcoin you could potentially be relying on a major corporation.  The Bitcoin bid is so thin... if major companies believe in bitcoin I think it would be best if they would sell the coins and supply a "ass end" for bitcoin via fiat on the bid or offering private buys.  

I think it artificially inflates the price to a extent as well when people are Bitcoin squatters.  I know I don't sleep any easier knowing that so many not really impressive people cyber squat such a large percent, but part of it!

(Mind you I'm all for harder work for more pay rather than demanding people sell their property if they are holding it for profits.)

Anyone thing this will be a big word in the future?

 I see people cry about Cyber Squatters all the time, but could we see governments try to enforce laws to prevent "Bitcoin Squatters".
