    Bitcoin holders and miners are essentially the central banks of bitcoin economy. Their action affect the money supply of the whole system

    If they don't sell any coins mined, means no money supply increase, it will stop the sell off of bitcoin and increase the price stability

    If they sell a lot of coins, means increase the money supply on the market, which will stop the crazy rally of the bitcoin price

    And it is even better if they have built some reserve, they could step in to buy coins to support the price when it falls too fast and sell coins when it rises too fast

    If majority of miners and holders act in a coordinated way, they are effectively doing what FED is doing: Ensure the price stability of the currency, so that business get more confident in using bitcoin

    In one word: A distributed money supply buffer to stablize the price. It won't affect the long term trend of bitcoin but will provide better short and mid term price stablility

    Some true market believers might think this is not necessary, but high volatility in bitcoin price will hurt business confidence

    What do you think?
