I love bitcoin so far, but i hate how you idiots are allowed to view everyone of my fucking transactions. You piss me the fuck off.

I like bitcoin, but it's imperfect. In order to be a perfect crypto-currency, we need to have a program that does TRUE anonymity, with no chance of anyone seeing your transactions. I mean how is it any better that you can look at Max Keiser's address and figure out what he's buying? THat's world wide though. Not just a select few people. EVERYONE can see what you're paying, even if they can't figure out what you bought. Why would that matter? The government can now link you to your address and harass you with questions of what you bought. I think i will have a look at bitcoin's source, but i'm thinking of eventually modifying the source code to SAFELY allow TRUE anonymous transactions.

Just dont give out your address..... If Max Keisers address is shown in public it must mean he doesnt care, I dont have my address shown in public

if you trace the inputs back you see a lot of transactions that send something like 1000btc to one address and 50000 btc to another.  so that looks like an exchange moving some coins from cold storage to a hot wallet.  if you trace back to similar tx's, you arrive at one address which no longer follows that pattern, 1HBa5ABXb5Yx1YcQsppqwKtaAGFPYe5xzY, which has a 90k input from 12sENwECeRSmTeDwyLNqwh47JistZqFmW8.  if you google that address, you get a few people speculating that it's bitstamp.

the speculation in combination with the tx making perfect sense for being a cold-->hot storage move by an exchange, i think there's greater than two chances out of three that OP's tx is a bitstamp cold-->hot storage move.

If I had to speculate further, if it is Bitstamp moving coin from cold storage to hot wallet, then probably it has been triggered by a few big players saying "I'm out" and queuing up for withdrawal once Bitstamp resumes normal withdrawal service. So they've gotta go the vault to facilitate some concerned customers who lost confidence in having any bitcoin stored in the stamp.

Now I'm curious. Does anyone know if this is the largest ever BTC transaction pegged in USD? Could you imagine if one of those 100,000 BTC addresses suddenly had movement?

who CARES

Seconded.  Motion carried.
