The Largest Bitcoin Transaction ever = $210M
on Nov 22, at today’s exchange rate.
I am so glad that my son demanded that his allowance and related monetary exchanges switch to bitcoin last year. The fixed transaction costs were so high relative to the $20 price/coin that we naturally banked a bunch of them to cover anticipated needs. =)
Here’s the long blog post I made at the time (text buried under “more” in right column): http://www.flickr.com/photos/jurvetson/8410385932/
Detailed view of first transaction, with many senders: https://blockchain.info/tx/1c12443203a48f42cdf7b1acee5b4b1c1fedc144cb909a3bf5edbffafb0cd204?show_adv=true
And the subsequent split, four minutes later; the $210M divided into two accounts ($113M and $97M each), and then it fragments further: https://blockchain.info/tx/1746d7d24fa39c7f3b62f64a1760649b616f36e395796bf704d0aaca7b208ca9
