i think we should worry more about the fact that mark karpeles still holds like 400-500k btc. the bitfinex hackers can't dump all their coins at once without getting noticed. they have to mix and sell their coins in batches of 5-10btc per time. with such a pace the market won't feel it.

I'd say that the market would rather feel the lack of 120,000 bitcoins that got stolen at Bitfinex. In this way, if an exchange is hacked every month (okay, every other month), the price of remaining bitcoins would certainly hit the sky (and then the moon)...

And Bitcoin would become as rare as hens' teeth

getting coins off the market will definitely have a good impact on the price eventually, but well, these coins that are off the market right now, will at some point find their way back one way or the other. but then again, i am glad the reality is different.

As I have said in one of my earlier posts, we are likely already past that point in time when the amount of coins used for trading can grow substantially. Satoshi's coins are most likely dead by now (read lost forever), it is not even known for sure whether he is still alive and kicking today. The recent halving consequently halved the inflow of new coins to the market, the effect of which we have yet to feel in the future...

A few more hacks (or scams) of the Bitfinex scale, and there will be no more coins left to trade, lol
