Any clue who it was?

not me..

God damn I wish I had 1% of 1% of that money....

thats nuts. just went on blockchain to check.. one of the addresses received over 35 million dollars

Soooo how many private jets does that come out to? Does that include the hot flight attendants?

their wind-powered mining rigs paid off with less utility payments and expenses leaving all profit ! ;D it probably got used to pay off solyndara debt

That must've made quite the sound on http://www.listentobitcoin.com/

Yup, that's where I was watching them

just a thud or based on pitch; a low rolling thunder that lasts about a full minute( or ten) based on a blockchain hash

Spotted a flying pony  ???

Interesting site!

that would have made a big noise

It did, thats fo sho.

Winklevoss twins maybe?

crazzzy... maybe it was the Vinkelvoss twins :P ->  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/9989610/Winklevoss-twins-back-bitcoin-as-bubble-bursts.html (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/9989610/Winklevoss-twins-back-bitcoin-as-bubble-bursts.html)

You are aware that's only 1000$ right?

That's crazy amount of money...

It's got to be them, the numbers add up.

The transactions were all around 1.5 mill each,  I didn't put any effort into confirming that they were all to or from the the same address, but it stands to reason that either someone made an extremely large purchase and they were breaking it up into smaller transactions or someone was using the same method to transfer some of their BTC to a new wallet.

The Winkelvoss twins claim to have possession of $11m worth of BTC

Well, quite logical.

One can see the current financial storm in EU. Shoible (the german minister of finances) stated that the EU loses over 1 trliion EUR anually
because of tax avoidance and money laundering. And it seems they (the EU) are on their way to take some countermeasures. So, smart
people are learning their lessons from the Cyprus "mistake" and trying to save their money. Can't blame anyone. It is a fight.

 

Aside from the savers looking to protect their money, I think the possibly larger investors will be those Silicon Valley types thinking up all the great new things bitcoins can do and be a part of. I think bitcoins are about to really explode in usefulness for consumers. I think this "investment" theme is just the precursor.

What better way then to invest in the currency used for your new big idea for using BTC?

Yes, must be Winklevoss :D

Here come the bankers and the VCs!

Imagine a nerd has been mining 100k worth of bitcoins, then just transferred it to their mtgox account and then just sold it for 10 million =D.

I have read that a lot of Cyprus society are moving their euro account into bitcoin

Oh my god, someone has more money than me, quick! I have to think of some name to call them!

Jerry.  Sounds like a not-threatening name. 

I was thinking more along the lines of Jim...why Jerry?

You kidding me?  Jim is the name of almost every Hedge Fund Manager... Jerry is the name of every Mcdonald's manager. 

I was under the impression that was Bill...always get these guys confused...

Bill is usually that HF Manager's father/uncle.  Onamastics baby.

Soooooo was it Jerry, Jim, Bill, Jim's Father, or Jim's Uncle that just moved 10 MILLION(!) dollars worth of BTC?

It was Jim's Butler in the kitchen using a lead pipe!

Its always the butler...leave them alone with your computer for 5 seconds and poof, there goes your wallet.

Leave me with your computer for 5 seconds and poof, there goes your wallet.

*fantasizes*

Bro...you gotta think about the big picture

I was thinking of more than that but I wanted to spare the innocent of the users here :D

lol well I had to keep it within the confines of youtube and something I could find quickly

Ten millions transferred? Maybe my daughter is still playing with my BTC wallet, forgive her, she's still a baby...

I read somewhere that winklevoss bought into 1% of total bitcoin market.

Rich fucks

OMG, someone must have used the new supercomputer TITAN to do some mining.  :D

10,000,000 * .01*.01 = 1,000.

While I wouldn't say no to it, I do already have $1000 and if you are investing in bitcoins you probably should too.

I'm a broke ass college student, so no free grand for me. Probably why the only bitcoin I have ever had came from mining.

It is? Then I only have about 20% of that too

If math isn't your thing this might not be the best hobby for you...

Mining is something I don't think I'll ever want to do. Yes, you certainly get some coin through it, but all I hear is getting 0.02-3 bitcoins a day. I get way more than that just by buying and selling.

In a day the bitcoin price go up and down for a 10-15-20%, with the nose on exchangers you can make good money. Avalon ASIC make 120$ a day - the price of the energy it takes.
