No transaction fee lol.

Probably not on purpose.

BlockChain is doing that by default now.
high priority transaction don't need a fee.

and I really doubt anyone is holding $147M on blockchain.

True - didn't think of that.

I wonder where one stores $147M in BTC...

Mhmm...  A vault? Lol.

I would use the Armory client and it's offline wallet feature.

You don't need a vault to protect a bitcoin wallet, that's the beauty of it.

People kill other people for thousands.

If someone knew it was on a computer I'm sure there are MANY people that would be willing to kill for $147M and steal the computer.

Offline clients are safer than online, but not safer than paper wallets.

I'd bury a paper wallet if it held that many BTC.


Paper wallets are Plain text Private keys, Offline wallets are usually encrypted wallets which only the owner has the passphrase to and at least one copy somewhere else...

going back to the earliest transaction won't be much of a clue. you don't know how many times and if those coins ever changed hands or not.

it could however provide some ideas though
True. I am wondering if it isn't that lazslo guy, that bought two pizza for 10k BTC. Since he donated 500btc to the faucet, and I saw he posted something like that, and it is around the same time.

Something tells me it is a like gox/bitstamp/coinbase/ moving funds offline or something.

Also another possibility.

Could this be satoshi? Some of the inputs(and I mean from going backwards and backwards in the trace) are as old 2010 February and owned by a single miner who donated 500btc to a faucet once.

Doubt it.

Probably just an old miner or entrepreneur, early adopter with capital willing to risk.
I followed more, and he has mined blocks as far as December 26 2009, crazy.

It is pretty crazy but this isn't the first instance of seeing this happen.

There are many early adopters that trusted the idea and are now reaping the profits.

Beautiful, so effortless to move so much money.

I'm sometimes involved with very large cross-border transactions and the logistics of making payments of this size are, more often that not, a complete PITA, with timezones and banking hours getting in the way.
