Here's another reason for procrastinators and those who endlessly wait for the bottom to further delay their Bitcoin purchase. I hope they're right this time around, and that big dip is indeed coming.

However, they should take note that all these repayments are to be done in tranches. In which case, a one-time big-time impact on the market is probably not happening. Furthermore, other repayments are done in cash. In other words, if such repayment affects the Bitcoin price, it would be positively.

yeah that would put things in perspective for us- the number of people who have gotten their money back, how much has been sent, number of people who are yet to get their money back, how much is left to be yet.. These types of data will be quite useful.

Correct. If I were in their shoes selling will be the lead thing on my mind. I'll wait it out for some period of time so as to use it as an opportunity to take profit. A win -win in my estimation.

The price movement was mostly due to optimistic whales and their promoters who probably thought they could pump the price by buying lots of Bitcoin and then have people attribute the price gain to them. The market typically behaves like this to prove them wrong whenever they try to attribute Bitcoin price gains to their buying efforts.   This is a good thing because if people thought they are behind the price gains they would see them as major market movers, it would make them more money or they could use it as bargaining chip to have major say in development of Bitcoin. Every price gain has to be according to Bitcoin principles to keep things safe.

In regards to mt gox and others, that is not really enough to cause people to find Bitcoin less valuable. The bullish sentiment remains strong while the price action is just temporal for the sake of decentralization, other Bitcoin principles, etc .

They still have a couple of months until October 31 2025, which is the deadline to complete repayments to all legitimate creditors. I hope they do not postponed the deadline again, and everything ends in the date they have set. I don't care what the creditors do with the funds they get back, whether they hold or sell, weak hands will always fall for fud and uncertainty, but nevertheless, i don't think this is going to have any significant impact on the market.

Indeed a good news for the exchange users that they're getting their money back after all the years and likely that all hope wams gone. It's really impressive that these exchanges reimbursing it customers over lost of their funds on the process of the platform attacks by hackers.
That really proves the exchange reputations is authenticated.
