It's also a possible butterfly effect. Would Bitcoin have taken off without those specific few thousand coins in the economy?

If even half of Bitcoin holders at the time thought they'd make it big and held, how could Bitcoin have had the liquidity to gain value?

You still need trade volume. If there is no Bitcoin to buy, there is no Bitcoin to sell.
