It is magical thinking on our part to believe that anyone will pay above market prices for bitcoins, especially in this tepid market.

If you were ever going to pay above market for btc, now would be the time to do it.  Some time 5-10 days from now, BTC will put in its lowest daily bottom, and prices will always be higher thereafter.  (Says the monkey, but I will take responsibility this time, because I agree -- and yes, perhaps it is magical thinking.  He is, after all, a magic monkey.)

Nobody with enough money to buy a block of 3,000 coins is going to bid over the top of the current value on major exchanges. The bitcoin market has been so anemic for months now that all we're going to see are a few low ball offers, and whoever wins will take the lot for a very nice discount. Face it guys, we all want to see a rally, and it will likely happen eventually, but smart money isn't going to dive in on something that is so uncertain in the near term.
Of course they are going to bid above market price.
1) You can't see what the others bid, so you have to make your bid count.
2) Do you think the names we saw on the leaked list or going to register on sites like Bitstamp? No these people buy off exchange.
3) Even if they would buy on Bitstamp buying 3 000 BTC would cost them 1.8 million dollar and this would push the price to 596 and leaving a serious gap behind them in the bid side on the order book. If they would bid at 580 this will cost them only 3000 x 580 = 1.74 million dollar.

magical thinking, my friend. An investor with deep pockets would have no qualms with creating an account on bitstamp or elsewhere... any means necessary to get their coins. The smart thing to do -- and rich people tend to be smart -- would be to buy them in small, spread out orders or just buy them in bulk from someone off exchange. It is magical thinking on our part to believe that anyone will pay above market prices for bitcoins, especially in this tepid market.

Thanks for cutting my post into half, don't do that again. I guess you agree with point 2 and 3. [ ... ]
It is good etiquette to trim the posts you are replying to, leaving only the parts that are relevant to the reply.  However I should have added "[ ... ]" to show that parts were omitted; my apologies for being lazy.

Guys, just a few moments ago there was another USMS auction email fuckup... this time, they leaked the form every potential bidder had to fill before submitting a bid:

We received your bid request. As your bid request met some of our volume and frequency thresholds, we will have to kindly ask you to help us better understand the nature of your relationship with Bitcoin.

I suppose they will email private keys to all winning bidders. In single Cc: email.


Have the Bitcoins been split to 3k per address already?

1) You can't see what the others bid, so you have to make your bid count.
That would be true if their goal was "I MUST GET THOSE COINS".  But the goal of people who play that game is "I MUST PROFIT".  They figure out what is the price that would give them the best expected profit, and bid for that. If someone else bids higher, they would think "what a fool".

Thanks for cutting my post into half, don't do that again. I guess you agree with point 2 and 3. Your argument against point 1 is weak since i think their mindset is indeed 'i must get those coins'.
