"in my expecience, almost nobody actually understands how payment systems work"

This was my experience as well. I can't understand why everybody fell for the hype. Loads of money are transfered every hour.

And we don't know anything about the $150m Bitcoin transaction. Maybe the owner just moved it to one of his other wallets.

Indications are that it was Bitstamp shuffling money around.

What are the indications?

"who has loads of money? Bitstamp? Maybe it was them"

Is basically what the "investigations" I read boiled down to

I thought that many of the accounts that funneled into the one big account were known to be bitstamps?

Now, I'm not 100% sure why those were known or thought to be bitstamps in the first place.
