I'm bored, so I hid a bitcoin (well, 0.995BTC) in something here.  Here's the address so everyone can see when and if the change is moved.

Update 1:

Deafboy found the private key and only took 0.5BTC.  There's 0.4945BTC left.

Update 2:

Mushoz finished it off.

Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.

I really do not get the "here" part which is a link back to the main bitcoin discussion page.
So I thought I could search through you recent posts and find something but that does not
seem to be the case.

I am stumped.

Hint request.
Is it word, sensense, number?
Is it plain text or link to exact topic?

Haha, nice.  For anyone still looking, it's not something I've said.

I'm thinking that .25 BTC may have something to do with candy bars.

No hint?  The OP links to a big hint.  And then I also offered the hint that the private key isn't something I've said.  That's 2 hints.  And besides, somebody was already clever enough to find the private key and they took half of the little prize.

It's whole line from left to right incl. spaces and special characters.
It's logical that it cannot be title or description of topic because those can be dynamicaly changed / moved / remoevd.
The string can be found on the page more than once.

I wonder how is it possible that people are complaining when someone offers them free money Cheesy

Nice.  That's using your noodle.  I intend to play this game again.  Next time it'll be for more money, and it'll be even harder.

I'm curious.  Exactly what process/tools did you use?

Deafboy, same to you.
