USMS December 2014 auction

 
Ever wonder what happens when the government gets its hands on a pile of bitcoins? Back in December 2014, the US Marshals Service held a big auction, selling off 50,000 bitcoins they seized from Silk Road, a shady online marketplace. Picture it like a yard sale, but instead of old furniture, it’s digital gold – and big players like investor Tim Draper were there, snapping up chunks. This wasn’t just a random sale; it was a moment that showed the world bitcoin wasn’t just for tech geeks anymore.
 
Why does it matter? It helped put bitcoin on the map as something even governments took seriously.
