Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

I'm quite amazed where these huge sellers get their coins from.

Remember those 850.000 bitcoins "lost" on the MtGox? Somebody has the private keys of those BTC. Ask yourself what would you do if that was you. Would you hold all of them, or would you convert some to the fiat?

my guess is that if one was smart enough to steal this amount of coins he/she is also smart enough to sell them off exchange.

if it was me, selling them via a verified exchange account would be the last thing i would do.

And I don't even mv the btc, I'll just give away the private key.

Then the buyer will move them, unless they trust you 100% (unless the buyer is you that is).

Sure you're right. I just wanted to shift the risk of making some mistakes during the transaction to the buyer entirely (I'm risk really averse). my purpose wasn't about covering the track left by tx by not performing it in the first place.

Now that I think about it to really cover one's trail maybe using a stealth address is the way to go (I'm not sure, thoughI'm a bit rusty on that matter).
