If you see it going up, why would you sell? In the deflationary spiral scenario, it'll just keep on going up, so it's in your interest to hold on.

We see people selling at $100 and $200; would we expect people to not sell at $10,000?

Sure, some people will sell, the question is whether or not the amount of selling is large enough to keep the price from spiraling upward. If you predict that there will be lots of selling, then you're assuming that people aren't (on average) responding to the incentive to hold.
