It was probably an exchange moving coins to cold storage or something. Its pretty fun to watch. every time I see a huge transfer of hundreds of thousands or millions worth of coin get transferred, i always wonder who is behind it. Some addresses are easy to track, like a known exchange address or the original btc address of silk road.. Its amazing sometimes to see the amount transfered.

I think its connected to the blockchain, correct?

Probably that was Bitstamp moving coins from one wallet to another, like moving it from cold storage to hot wallet or vice versa. Looking at the daily trade volumes, it is highly unlikely that an individual would have traded that many coins in one go.


Tell this to the Bitstamp guys.

Yes, we sometimes forget how rich are these guys who started mining in 2009. Having 10k, 20k, 50k BTC, just for leaving your PC on for a few months to mine some magic coins. What an opportunity that was!!!

Have you never "seen" this transaction? https://blockchain.info/it/tx/29a3efd3ef04f9153d47a990bd7b048a4b2d213daaa5fb8ed670fb85f13bdbcf

550'000 bitcoin moved in one transaction, it is from 2011 and those bitcoins are over on mt.gox

It's the sounds, they hypnotise me!
I find it very relaxing.
But, yes, I am rather a sad individual.
 

Never seen that before.....incredible.
The bubble would have filled my room, let alone my screen!

I remember that site from way back 2012! The creator sold it and everybody freaked because they didn't know if the new owner was trust worthy, like malware and the likes. Looks like it's kosher.
Good.
I always liked that website. During the big boom it was bananas. Those were the days!
I hope he builds a iOS version.

If you had 5000k BTC in late 2012 and early 2013 when the price went up, would you sell?

anyone with that amount would have sold at 10 dollars too, too much bitcoin to handle, let alone at 1k in 2013
