I was thinking about MTGox's 200,000 Bitcoins they found in that old wallet or whatever it is. At some point the bankruptcy is going to sell those coins and dump them on the market in one big go turning them into FIAT. There is no way I see them distributing out those coins as Bitcoins. What will that do to the market? If they released all 200,000+ coins at one time? Seems to me that's exactly what they are going to do.
IF they decide to sell the coins, I expect that they will divide them into manageable lots, and auction them through some auctioning house. I believe that would be the easiest way to get the best possible price for them. (The FBI will probably do the same with the SilkRoad coins, except that they will surely use the government auctioning services.) But that just pushes the question forward: what wiill the auction winners do with those coins?
