German government puts out press release covering their "market-friendly sale" of 49,858 #Bitcoin .

It states, "the sale of assets even before the conclusion of ongoing criminal proceedings is always legally required if there is a threat of a significant loss in value of about ten percent or more. These conditions were always met with the volatile Bitcoins due to the enormous and extremely fast price fluctuations."

"From the beginning, less than one percent of the market volume of Bitcoins was regularly traded over 90 percent over the counter in a market-friendly manner. On this scale, there is no direct influence on the Bitcoin price."
