In September 2023, someone paid a staggering $515,000 fee to send just $2,000 in Bitcoin.


For days, the sender was a mystery—until it was revealed to be Paxos, the firm behind PayPal’s stablecoin. A simple bug turned a normal ~$0.60 fee into one of the most expensive transactions ever.
F2Pool mined the block and could’ve kept the entire fee—but chose to return it 5 days later.
