No forced selling of BTC, only forced selling of SD shares. Some people are theorizing that the large BTC payout led to the drop in exchange rate, but that doesn't make a lot of sense to me. The alternative view is that a BTC company was just sold for a significant sum showing that the BTC economy is thriving.

Small market. That is a huge amount.

People will be selling to make profits causing the charts to look negative. People panic and sell.

I agree with the concept that the amount of BTC being dispersed is large enough to effect the exchange rate. However, I think it is a leap to assume that these investors will be selling to take profits. Has this development fundmentaly changed their investment view on BTC?

A lot of people would be happy with 200BTC+ at current market price. That's a new car, or paying off student loans...

Can't get mad about the profit takers in a situation like this.. but you can gobble up the panic sales
