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.
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.

If it were a credit card transaction, money would have changed hands.
Probably not, it would have likely been netted between the banks without requirement a settlement.
Care to elaborate?
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.
I think the implication is actually that the person sending this transaction was also the recipient.
