How do you see this affecting the price?
Nahh it would never affect the price, people getting 30k btc at a bargain, they would never sell those off on exchanges the second they got them!
first thing they will do by my opinion is to sell them across all exchanges, then wait for even bigger plummet, and then rebuy.
one can only hope the price on auction wont be as low as we fear it will be.
That may not be the case if the guys from Second Market get a large chunk of these coins. They may hold a lot of them as reserves.
