Bitcoin whale moves ball busting $1.1B for just $83

The transaction, which took place on January 14, saw the whale move 124,946.6 BTC in exchange for a 0.0096 BTC fee.

124,946 bitcoin were just moved in a transaction.

That's ~$1,100,000,000 transfered for an $80 fee.

No government, bank or third party had to verify the transaction, nor could they have stopped it if they wanted to.

The true power of bitcoin. 🔥
