Do due diligence
They will sell.
IF it has an impact on the market, price may dip (so buy) and then rise again.
It's setting a precedent in confirming that bitcoin is an asset of value...jmo.

I hope they are naive enough to think they can kill the market by selling openly, so we can enjoy the feeding frenzy. I also fancy that it could be a bluff and they don't actually have full access to the coins.

The Feds Are Ready To Sell $25 Million of Bitcoin Seized From The Silk Road

Title says all; What I do like to see is a discussion about this.

What are your thoughts? Will they sell or will they hold?  IF they sell, how big will the impact be on the bitcoinmarket?
I know it is all speculation but I love these discussions!

Throw in your emotions and thoughts.

If you want to see discussion about it, here are two of many threads already doing so:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/silk-road-bitcoin-stash-to-be-auctioned-421646

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/offically-announced-us-to-sell-silkroads-bitcoins-419716



And they aren't, most likely, going to sell on the open market as the previous threads will point out.  Most likely they will negotiate a price between a major buyer(s) and simple transfer the coins.  Second Market, Fortress, various hedge funds etc.  The impact should be negligible.
