So when I move bitcoins around I can pay a fee to speed up the transaction but don't have to. This fee then goes along with the 50BTC to the miner that helped me with the transaction by mining.
So that spike could indicate that somone needed a presumably very large transaction that a large fee would only be a small percent of to go though very quickly. Perhaps part of tranding.
It could ofc be a mistake, a somewhat expensive one.

It is definitely a mistake, the transaction was not very large and even a small fee nearly guarantees entry into the next block right now.
Some pools don't pick up no-fee transactions though, so it can take a while. I just pay a fee...I've got a nickel on bitcoin's success any day.
