Another example of the Bitcoin network doing it the right way.

And I assume that it was not done through a U.S. FinCEN "regulated" Bitcoin exchange.

This is a private transaction. Similar sums are being exchanged million of times each time with fiat. There has been large transactions before, and there will be more in the future. It's the best and the worst of BTC that people can report and comment it.

I used to be a citizen and a taxpayer. Those days are long gone.

How did they pay so little tx fee, also I wonder how they keep so many BTC. I would be a nervous wreck with that many.

This is why BTC exists - he also could have paid a small tx fee of .0001 BTC:)

Because Bitcoin.
Probably a early miner.
Same.

Fee actually low for "aged" bitcoins - he could have paid even less like .0001BTC

There are very, very few individuals with that much BTC. The very large balances (as in over BTC1000) mainly belong to exchanges and similar large bitcoin-handling businesses, AFAIK.

Probably a good deal of the early-mined bitcoin is now "dead and buried", the private keys forever lost. Just like gold under Satoshi Sea.

Transactions involving no small inputs and of sufficient "coin age" do not normally require a fee. 1 mBTC is reasonably generous; I normally use mBTC0,25/KB myself (whether necessary or not), which is 150% more than the minimum required by my client.

Probably a early miner.
The early miners with the biggest balances hold everything stable. It's always a little disturbing when they sell, as it could be going to hedge funds, bank or any financial mercenary who is trying to pump and dump bitcoin.

As I said a while ago, it's not the technological attacks, but the financial attacks that will destroy bitcoin. And the techy bitcoin bods won't even see it coming.

You only have to look at the past to see the future.

History never repeats itself but it rhymes. As far as I know a virtual currency like bitcoin has never been used. But you "could" be right of course. But no one knows for sure.

Although bitcoin never existed before, people trying to tear down something they fear is not new. It's always done via the back door while everyone guards the front door.

Most bitcoin people relish mass movements of bitcoin, as it in some way proves how cool it is. But it could be going anywhere, to anyone. And their intentions or motives might not necessarily be as positive as most of the people on this forum.

That's all I'm saying. It's worth looking out for.
