Regarding price, percentage of volume is the important metric. It is not relevant that ~12M bitcoins exist, if only, say, 1% of these are for sale on exchanges. Only coins for sale on exchanges help stabilize the price.

But what exactly does "for sale on exchanges" mean? Presumably a great many coins that didn't trade hands yesterday are still for sale at some price.
