MT.Gox has started to send BTC to their owners who have waited over 10 years to receive them. What will be the consequence?
- I think they will sell about 20%. Not more, because if they have survived 10 years without them, they can wait for the top of the bull run to sell.
- About 20% will likely sell to diversify their portfolios with other coins, benefiting altcoins. The top ones (top 100) are most likely to benefit since the coins are vested in exchanges that are not listing mid and small caps.
The impact of Mt.Gox should be limited, unless market makers decide to dump to gain liquidity at the bottom, but that is a manipulation strategy and is impossible to forecast.
