I wonder if it is an early miner, or a certain black pirate...
- aroch 13y agoApparently people think its the Winklevoss' since they claimed to have bought ~1% of all BTC and the amount moved nicely coincides with about 1%
- psbp 13y agoSo if this currency does become ubiquitous the Winklevoss' will be the kings of the world? God dammit.
- julioademar 13y agoI believe the correct term is Winklevi.
- jdmitch 13y agoI think Winklevii is more commonly used on reddit
- jrs99 13y agoThey should really do a startup: www.winklevoss.com The original social network.
- sliverstorm 13y agoThat certainly is kind of a dark prospect. Random people a mixture of varying degrees of foresight, money, and luck, suddenly becoming the richest people on the planet. Gates built an empire. Yet the Winklevoss' will eclipse his wealth if BTC goes up just a few factors. I don't begrudge people their gains, I'm just thinking about the seismic shift in power.
- malgorithms 13y agoIt couldn't be them - this was an odd number of bitcoins.
- vectorpush 13y agoI know humor is forbidden, but I laughed out loud at this anyway. I felt compelled to comment because this is a difficult joke to setup in every day conversation.
- MartinCron 13y agoHumor isn't forbidden, it's just really risky. If a joke is lame or offensive or obvious or falls flat, you'll be punished.
- elliottcarlson 13y agoOr just an exchanges cold storage...
- SeanLuke 13y agoI'm surprised no one has identified what I think is the most likely situation: bitcoin theft.
- fragsworth 13y agoAre you suggesting that any given transaction is most likely to be a theft?
- hackinthebochs 13y agoI think the point is that the only reason to transfer such a large sum of money is either buying/selling something or stealing. And considering there probably aren't many (if any) things one can buy with that many bitcoins, theft seems to be most likely scenario.
- BlackDeath3 13y ago>I think the point is that the only reason to transfer such a large sum of money is either buying/selling something or stealing. Perhaps you could be a little less specific? >And considering there probably aren't many (if any) things one can buy with that many bitcoins, theft seems to be most likely scenario. You could buy a lot of something from a private entity who really values Bitcoin.
- Casseres 13y agoAnother option: Perhaps the security of the private key of the old address was in question, so a new address was created with a new, secure private key.
- fantnn 13y agoOr Cryptolocker/other cyber criminals
- pa5tabear 13y agoCould this not be some large purchase with a bitcoin payment attached to a contract? Could a contract enforce a bitcoin transfer?
