If it was a credit card transaction, it'd be 2,406,506.

If grandma had balls she'd be grampa. Nobody moves 82 million with a credit card, that's not even what they're for.

Anyone doing that volume in credit card transactions isn't paying a 2.9% rate like you and I would selling trinkets... and the fee's paying for a variety of protections not present in a Bitcoin transaction.

If it were a credit card transaction, money would have changed hands.

[murbard2]

Probably not, it would have likely been netted between the banks without requirement a settlement.

Care to elaborate?

[ryanthejuggler]

The implication is that Bitcoin isn't "real" money.

Never mind that money is a social construct and is useful whenever two parties agree on a common value.

[furyofantares]

I think the implication is actually that the person sending this transaction was also the recipient.

[ryanthejuggler]

Good point; your explanation makes more sense. I pretty much only use Bitcoin to buy lunch and laptop stickers, so I forget that people with significant amounts of it have to shuffle it like this.

[stonogo]

This was pretty obviously some internal accounting shuffling and not some kind of payment processing. If your bank charges a fee to move funds between accounts your bank sucks.
