The transactions from the Mt. Gox cold wallets occurred in the early hours of the morning in Europe and 11 pm EST in the US. The transactions were sent to the address 1LncfoCX1yzuiW3hzejarvgZ1WahnAQ4o4 and totaled 8,214.97084 BTC, which is worth around $76.7 Million at press time.
Funny how just a few hours later those coins are worth only $70 millions.
And it might get really funny if he hasn't yet sold the coins and he is planning to, we'd go for sure below 8000$.
Those rumors, Upbit raid and we're going to get another week of bear market, I doubt we will see 10k$ even with the hype for the Bitcoin Consensus.
The original movement Mt. Gox funds are thought to have kicked off the bear market starting in January of this year. But this time it’s different; institutions are coming to the crypto markets, and how these markets will react to this new movement of funds remains to be seen.[/i]
No. Movement of bitcoin from a wallet address known to be owned by Mt Gox would not cause a bear market. The funds were only moved from one bitcoin wallet to another bitcoin wallet - that's not a sale, that's a transfer. A bear market could only be caused by one transaction if that transaction was to sell Bitcoin for a fiat (or any other) currency.
This is how supply and demand works.
If that address is owned by an exchange who is involved in selling the coins then, it's a sell.
It also might be an OTC trade, who knows...apart from Kobayashi, that is
.
The annoying part is that he should publish what he plans to do or at least what he has done with those coins right after the transaction.
