🔄 What Happens If You Send Bitcoin to the Wrong Address?

Unlike banks, Bitcoin transactions are irreversible—once sent, there’s no customer support to call for a refund. So, what happens if you send Bitcoin to the wrong address?

1️⃣ No Chargebacks, No Refunds

Bitcoin operates on a trustless system—there’s no middleman to reverse transactions. Once a transaction is confirmed, it’s final.

2️⃣ Lost Forever (Most of the Time)

If you send Bitcoin to a valid address that belongs to someone else, your only option is to ask them to return it. But if you send it to an invalid or non-existent address, those coins are gone forever.

3️⃣ How to Avoid Mistakes

✅ Always double-check the address before sending.

✅ Use a QR code or copy-paste instead of typing addresses manually.

✅ Send a small test transaction first before sending a large amount.

💡 Bitcoin gives you full control over your money—but with great power comes great responsibility.
