Do you think in the past year and a half (since ATH), has there been a quiet redistribution of bitcoins? Do you think major players are quietly accumulating right now?
One payment processor, Bitpay, has said they don't sell their coins on the open market. They have private buyers for them. Also, since the public market has been relatively stable since the beginning of the year, if any major players were accumulating, they wouldn't do it on the public markets.
If you have any data on Bitcoin distribution from late 2013 to now, it would be great to see if it's getting more or less concentrated.
Look at bitfinex to see how the price was managed down from an attempted bubble last July in the mid 600's through the use of heavy leveraged shorting (at one stage up to 35000 bitcoins). Someone has bought a
lot of coins in the last year.
