There are many reasons that entities/holders might sell or spend their moneroj. Maybe, just maybe, becoming a gazillionaire is not the be all and end all goal for some.
As far as 1000 XMR having an impact, our definitions of impact would appear to differ. 10 000 XMR tends to move a few percent for a few minutes. In recent market conditions, it would be fairly easy to accumulate 100K coins within a pretty tight window of price and time, and leave no lasting effect. Of course, it would be more fun to time it just right, so that you shoot a green candle right out the top of the monitor, but it isn't necessary if you don't have the funds to waste on such childish pleasures Tongue

There are probably around 1000 bagholders in Monero community (probably the majority is not even writing here but lurking occassionally and staying in sidelines) and I am sure you are right - among that amount of people there are many motives: a portion of them just want to hold Monero for the sake of the honor of owning a little bit of the pie, for some people they need to buy diabers to their babies and then sell Moneros for that (very bad position to be IMO), but also there are some people who have the mindset of a speculator who is expecting Monero to hit the "mainstream" (whatever it means in this context).
When I bought Moneros for the last time I think the price rose like 1-2 % for a short period and I did not buy any significiant amount (maybe 200-300 coins) - I have my core position that stands idle + lending portfolio.

***************************************************

In 2014 and 2015 I used to have a pump'n'dump position which was empty when I was bearish and looking for an entry point and bullish when my bag was full and I was looking for exit point.
However, those days are past. They were good times. It was actually funny to read some angry writings on me when I flip-flopped like a bi-polar in accordance to my position. Grin

The reason why I shifted my strategy into more long term investor/speculator type of strategy is the fact that the emission is taking hit big time and soon the emission and inflation is something that one do not need to factor into the analysis.
Ladies and gentlemen, 1-2 years from now and we hardly have inflation in Monero. In those days if the demand of Monero starts to increase the price goes literally to sky-high. Given the activity of the community and a great unison in making the difference I do not see too many reasons why this could fail (pessimists will see of course, and I am kinda expecting now some pessimists to reply to this - sure there are ways this could fail obviously).
