I was just sitting watching and listening to the bitcoin transactions at http://www.bitlisten.com/ when, at around 02.12 am GMT, the biggest bubble I've ever seen there appeared and filled the screen. It was a payment of 8,400 btc Good Grief.....that's around 2 million dollars! Way to go! ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

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. I hope the wallets were backed up! ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) 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!!!

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.

It's only worth that much for you if you haven't gotten into the game back in 2010 or 2011! I always imagine the early adopters still considering their amount to be wort a couple hundred USD or something....

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

Bitcoin is a really good thing (if you were one of the first who found it).
