So, to pull back to the OPs question for a moment:
http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-investment-trust-wins-48000-btc-us-marshals-bitcoin-auction/
So there were two winners, Draper with 2000 coins and BIT syndicate with the other 48000. Divided by 104 bidders in the syndicate, averages to ~461 coins per person, if they all contributed equally. And of course nobody knows what the individuals will do with those coins, but its unlikely that they all would dump them all at once, even if they did get them for below marked price.
You mean Silbert's group... the guys that underbid the market by $200 last auction... won. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL... "bullish as fuck" Bahahahahahaha
Yup, Silbert's group. Where did you see about the amount they bid last time? I didn't think there were any confirmations on that?
Silbert posted it on his twitter feed last time after the auction. It was one of the price points people referenced in trying to assess what Draper's bid was. I want to say they bid $463 last time, but I'm honestly too lazy to troll through his twitter feed to find it.
Well, I tried to find some record of it and couldn't. References to the last auction were https://twitter.com/barrysilbert/status/482951689381904384 and https://twitter.com/barrysilbert/status/483692873855299584. If you (or anyone) has a definite link, I would like to see it. Because I have seen no actual bid amounts anywhere, winning or otherwise.
Remember a couple of things:
- Silbert's syndicate is a group of individual bidders;
- Last auction they lost, so if they intended to win maybe they learned something (to bid higher)
- Highest bidder last time around was Draper, who really wanted these coins and was outbid (see https://www.coinprices.io/articles/december-4th-usms-bitcoin-auction-hub). That implies the winning bid price was not likely low.
Nothing to indicate that the current auction results were NOT "bullish as fuck".
