Title: Someone moving a lot of bitcoins ( about 200.000 ) ?!?
Post by: bythesea on November 23, 2013, 01:00:01 PM
I just found a bitcoin address and followed it on blockchain
https://blockchain.info/address/12sENwECeRSmTeDwyLNqwh47JistZqFmW8

Followed it and got to
https://blockchain.info/address/1Drt3c8pSdrkyjuBiwVcSSixZwQtMZ3Tew
and
https://blockchain.info/address/13f6vcKNGZxp6xegD3e5vNYvHHPMSk7mxj  where someone moved 100.000

Who is that person :)

100 BTC is a lot of money, but there are lots of people with more than that (http://btcwallets.info/wealthiest_bitcoin_wallets.html) so it isn't very unusual to find a wallet with 100 BTC in. I'd still kill to be that guy!

Lol ignore me, I'm not familiar with European decimal places instead of commas - we don't use that in the UK. This guy is very, very rich. :P

Looks like someone owns 1% of all bitcoins, even the ones to be mined. Lucky him, I guess. Maybe he's moving to another cold storage wallet, one located in a safer location.

Stupid one, I'm sure. Less ppl will adopt Bitcoin when they know that someone can easily manipulate the market owning so much bitcoins.

Stupid, but really rich. Hmmm... why don't these words don't sound right? ???

It could also be the big exchanges. Gox easily has that much. Not to mention, maybe at this point the feds do to.

I don't understand the logic in keeping it all in one address

Isn't 1% about what the Winklevosses own?

Also, did the feds get that money from silk road? I think he doesn't want to hand over his keys to them.
