Where do i use this at ?

This is your Bitcoin address, it serves just like the bank account number where you would be able to receive your coin and send it to other addresses. I advise you to learn more online about this to avoid mistakes, it would help you further as you are new to the world of cryptocurrency.

Read this: Bitcoin address and uses (https://www.bitcoin.com/get-started/how-to-send-bitcoin/#:~:text=A%20Bitcoin%20address%20is%20a,created%20by%20Bitcoin%20wallet%20software.).

are you sure this is an actual Bitcoin address or is it just a typo? it's my first time seeing an address that starts with bcl, it's usually bc1.

edit: nevermind, it's a typo, checked it on mempool. anyway, @OP if you want to know more check the article EarnOnVictor shared.

Since OP made the error while copying the address which would be likely end up in a loss if he did the same while sending or receiving bitcoins.

I suggest OP to read this : How to lose your Bitcoins with CTRL-C CTRL-V (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5190776.0)

Also it is better to use the QR codes to avoid this type of typos and malwares if the device is infected.

From the looks, seems OP has no idea how things works with bitcoin and Crypto in general. For OP to have dropped  wallet address here asking where to use it then it means OP might likely have no one to guide him or her.

I would advise you OP that scammers might likely be sending you messages as you have made this post  as a newbie here but do not give in to them. Never you send your key phrase to anybody for any reason because once sent, it would be used to steal your funds and assets.
Do well to also store your key phrase or better still use hardware wallet to save your funds and assets.

Check the address very well and ensure there's no ommission there in, you're meant to copy it and not to type the address because of related mistake in ommiting part of it, this is just your bitcoin wallet address, you can give anyone to send you bitcoin and also wish to make it open on your profile, having this alone cannot be used to attack you except your private keys are exposed, but your every transactions can be tracked on the blockchain using your address even though they can't be altered, that's why we called blockchain an open distributed ledger, but transactions are immutable and irreversible.

I think that's quite obvious. Seeing as this is his first post after being registered 06:38am forum time today. There's a lot to learn here, not only being aware of how not to fall victim to petty scam as a result what you just did here, but to follow these  beginners guide  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0)..

Good thing about bitcoin is typos such as this would likely land you an invalid bitcoin address and hence the transaction should not push through - get confirmed.

By the way, the address has 30 transactions so far and seeing how clueless OP is when it comes to addresses, it's likely that it's not theirs. @OP. I've no idea where you're trying to send some BTC's but make sure to do your own due diligence before pulling the trigger. You could also ask here.

That's what you call your bitcoin address, and as it starts with a  “bc1”, it is called “Bech32” or “Native Segwit”.

We don't want to spoon feed newbies, however, there are a lot of members who already posted good links so help you understand it. And I think the correct address is, bc1q4kus3ccdu29t3vh7r2ap5p735jhk5dmsteumrd

Op, make it a habit to copy and paste when writing or when giving your Bitcoin address to people who want to send you some Bitcoin. Keep in mind, a small mistake can make you lose the bitcoins you have, save the address private key carefully because it is the access to open your wallet. Make it a habit to review the addresses you use for the safety of your assets.

First of all the number you shared is a bitcoin address. Before knowing where to use a bitcoin address or what it does, you must confirm where you copied the address from. If you have copied this address from your wallet, you can use this address for BTC transactions. That is, if you buy BTC from someone or receive BTC payment, you must use the BTC address. If you don't have minimum idea about BTC transaction then don't be so busy about using this address first, first understand well about BTC transaction then you can do transaction using this address.

Just like acroman08 said this does look like a typo... But let me assume op made typo error. Op to not make a typo mistake when next you want to make use of your bitcoin address do well to copy and paste it, this address is like your normal bank account number which you use in depositing funds into your account and when making transaction if you miss a letter in the address or figure you either have your bitcoin lost or send to someone else's.

That’s your address to receive Bitcoin from other user. It’s like your bank account number to receive Bitcoin and you can access it through your private key. You can call it too as public key since that’s the information you can share in public while private key gives you access on that wallet.

How do you know Bitcoin btw? That’s the basic knowledge that you need to understand before you get involved on owning actual Bitcoin.

The highlited part in your post is most important thing we should do and that's to double check the address even after copy pasting because single mistake can lead to loss of funds.Sometimes you miss a word from the start or end by mistake by clicking on cross button while pasting so the address won't be valid one which would result in payment going to wrong address that doesn't exist so recovery is not possible.

You can't do anything with that if you have not the private key of this address, or a way to access funds into it if it's an address of an exchange or a custodial wallet. So be very careful, it could even be the address of someone trying to scam you. When you use Bitcoin it's always important to have the private key of the address or being able to fully deal with the way of acceding your funds.

Pretty strange message. The OP has already received a certain amount for this wallet; the flow began two months ago. In addition, the OP regularly transfers from this wallet to another.
I don't think the OP doesn't know how to use it unless the wallet belongs to him.
OP, maybe you want to sign a message from your wallet to secure your forum account? What roads brought you here?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.0

It is not your number but it's your Bitcoin Public address for receiving bitcoin.

You can use it to receive your bitcoin, from trades with other people with peer to peer tradings or from donations. You can see such donation addresses from websites, youtubers ...

They will send bitcoin to you like this Sending (https://learnmeabitcoin.com/beginners/sending)

I don't know how you got that address but consider to use a non custodial wallets like Electrum wallet.
[GUIDE] How to Safely Download and Verify Electrum (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5240594.0)

With non custodial wallets, you will have private keys that can be used to sign a message. How to sign a message?! (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=990345.0)

This post is funny, I wanted to give you permit for this lol. I never said someone calling Bitcoin Address his/her number. It's first time for me on this forum or anywhere on this planet.
The fact you copied it from an app or wallet where it is mentioned that it's an address and you still fail to figure it out is completely hilarious.

This forum is crazy these days with the type of posts.

OP, sorry but are for real? Are you here for jokes or what? These are the reasons why newbies get harsh words from high ranked members. What is really going on in this forum these days, everything to some users especially the newbies is like a joke to them, not seriousness no zeal at all. And now this one is calling this
bclq4kus3ccdu29t3vh7r2ap5p735jhk5dmsteumrd his number, is it a cell phone number or the number you got in a queue? This is ridiculous just tired of it, should I laugh about this? What is really going on in this forum for crying out loud? 😅

For example, you are selling something and a person wants to buy it. After the negotiations the buyer will ask your wallet address and what you provided is your wallet address that starts with bc1. I am quite confused as to why the wallet address you provided isn't started with bc1 but rather l. Anyway, the wallet address you will give to the buyer is where the person will send the payment. The purpose of the wallet address is to receive BTC by giving it to the one who will send you BTC and for the sender, it is what they will use to fill up the wallet address field/box where the BTC will be sent.

Technically, these ain’t numbers and so, you can’t call it that. It contains alphabets and numbers which makes it an alphanumeric coding system but,
Can we call it that? No!

Before I proceed any further, I’ll like to enquire on where you got it from?
Was it generated for you by someone or you generated it yourself from some wallet?

If you must know, this alphanumeric coding bclq4kus3ccdu29t3vh7r2ap5p735jhk5dmsteumrd is what is called an address. I could draw a relation to bank account numbers when dealing with fiat but, this is your details as it regards crypto wallets. It’s your public key and could be used in receiving bitcoin in any denomination.

It’s important that you’re the sole custodian of the wallet from which this address was generated and hope you’ve got the private key or seed phrase safely positioned
.
Don’t end up using an address sent for you by someone over the web or within your neighborhood and have the slightest idea that it’s yours and you’re safe. Arm yourself with the knowledge you need before any proceedings.

Seems like you make a typo with your address. Upon checking it made already a 30 transaction by the way if this is a typo I just change into "bc1" and sees the history of the address. The last transaction is 7-20-23 and this is an active address and I'm wondering why OP does not know about this address, what are you referring to OP about this address?

Bitcoin address is used for every day transactions as the address given is used for a public key and every time you made a transaction with your address there's a private key for verification. Theres nothing wrong showing your public address but not your seed phrase if there's any.

Despite the obvious typo does this address (https://mempool.space/address/bc1q4kus3ccdu29t3vh7r2ap5p735jhk5dmsteumrd) belong to your own wallet? So far it has seen 30 transactions, 19 receipts and 11 sendings, all of them out to the address 15HsyAVBP2sZowrdoyqiT482ri6AAfQ8Bw (https://mempool.space/address/15HsyAVBP2sZowrdoyqiT482ri6AAfQ8Bw) which has seen a lot of traffic (more than 5000 transactions and quite some cumulative amount going in and out).

I'm not sure what I should think of this regarding the topic title and your question. And the OP remains silent so far...

You can only use it to receive and send coins to other people, which we called BTC wallet address , and you can also use it to apply for signature campaign, and  if you are accepted in that particular campaign they will be paying you through your wallet address. I will advise you to learn more about BTC address so that you will enjoy it in future, because there are many scammers waiting for people to scam in the community, and you need to be very careful so that you will not give bad name to this forum.

We can't all be trusted because there are many people in the forum and some of them are scammers who come to the forum to take advantage of new forum members and use some of their tricks to deceive. As soon as I saw the OP paste his wallet address, I assumed he was seriously interested in learning more about the wallet he would use to receive his coins. However, my advice to him is to refrain from trying these kinds of things here because there are many people in the forum.

Even if asking is a good idea, you should be cautious the next time and ask a question first before sharing your address to avoid getting conned.

But If what lovesmay said Is actually true, then what's the point of asking the utility measure already? I mean, unless that's not your address - this address has been involved in alot of transactions as of late( just as described)...
I mean, you sounded very much ignorant and it's apparent that alot of peeps realized that too. ion even think you meant linking that account cus, your post doesn't even say so....so WTF do you mean??
Next time, be more explicit on your post - not some one liner clauses like this.

This is your Bitcoin address where you can keep your money and make transactions from. It works in a way that allows you to easily and quickly facilitate transactions, just like how you can transfer your fiat currency from one number to another, Bitcoin addresses work in the same way. And if you cut any letter of this address then your money will go to the wrong address and you will not get the money. So you have to be careful to trade in bitcoin address and if you trade wrongly then you will definitely lose money. If you don't have a good knowledge about this then check out the many discussions about it on social media.

It's more likely that OP manually wrote out the address than copied it. Otherwise, the mistake in 1 for I wouldn't have occurred. OP, you should desist from doing it manually by typing it out. Just copy and paste and that will save you a lot of mistakes.

From the look of things it's very unlikely that OP has any funds in that wallet. Those who will want to PM the OP for PKey will also be novice like the OP.
