"The majority of people that have Bitcoins now are the people that don't want to sell them. Ever."

You may be right, however I don't think the inverse is true.

"The majority of Bitcoins are owned by people that don't want to sell them. Ever"

There are some big players now that absolutely want to continue selling coins as they're being earned.

About half the wallets on this list now have a zero balance, so big wallet holders are moving coins. http://www.forbes.com/sites/jonmatonis/2012/06/22/the-bitcoi...

Plus the gambling sites are making a lot of coin, and I cant' imagine they're just sitting on them http://www.forbes.com/sites/jonmatonis/2013/01/22/bitcoin-ca...
