They're not going to dump it on an exchange, they're simply auctioning them off-exchange. You not knowing this means you're not doing your research very well, so I can't take this analysis seriously either. We may or may not break down from here, but it has nothing to do with this.
Another comment from someone who didn't read the article....
"With the FBI dumping 25 million dollars worth of Bitcoin into the market we actually ended up with the opposite kind of catalyst I was hoping for. If the government ends up actually trying to dump the coins responsibly, which I doubt they will, sentiments of the traders will still send the markets into a downward spiral. If the government decides to dump the coins like morons, which would be par for the course, we'll end up with a 25 million dollar sell wall, plus absolutely pessimistic traders."
Someone here isn't doing their research very well that's for sure.
Yeah the writer of that article didn't do his research or is at least not very smart, since he actually believes the FBI will dump like morons on an exchange lol. Sorry but that's just retarded and I can't take anyone seriously who reasons like that. Don't know if the writer of that article is you or not, but good luck if you listen to that crap...
Its not about what they'll actually do, its about the perception of traders.
Take China for example, the net effect of government legislation was very minimal on longterm markets because BTC traders eventually just found ways to bypass the legislation, but the short term effects were massive.
At a point when Bitcoin was approaching major resistances the news was released and it exacerbated a capitulation that was very likely anyway. Longterm the markets recovered but the point of the article isn't to address the longterm effects investors may be interested in its to address the short term effects trader would be interested in.
Now can you honestly say the FBI dumping 25 million dollars in Bitcoin onto the market will have no short term effect?
No fool would make that claim, and for traders this will likely mean a significant short term opportunity over the next 1-2 weeks. For investors the net effect here will likely be zero.
So take it for what its worth to you.
