I meant to type $13.31 WORTH of BTC, not literally 13.31BTC

Maybe this could be the investment of a lifetime!

Maybe it's just Karma, Kismet, Faith!!!

Who knows...!!

Just be happy you didn't made this mistake some time ago  ;D

PS: you might wanna scramble your name in the screenshot, if that's your real name

I don't really care about my name lol, sure I get teased but oh well
And I hope to have it be "The investment of a lifetime"
If it goes up to $300 and I sell then, I would actually earn an extra $1040 profit
But I didn't re-check everything so I guess it was partly my fault, partly coinbase fault and my banks fault for actually allowing it.

You will not regret this mistake this time next year. Speaking of re-checking everything, you should be more careful with number errors like these if you are to continue using bitcoins. You do not wish to make mistakes when copy and pasting addresses or adding huge transaction fees.

If you hold for awhile it could turn out to be a good goof. Everyone is panicking over price right now but that's expected. Trust yourself and you will be fine.

Well I was up for 25 hours straight, that should be enough of an excuse lol, I didn't expect it to go this bad....

Yeah, I was thinking about holding, but some one else has said they would try to get it reveresed by the bank, but idk, cause Coinbase still won't allow me to "see" the BTC until Tuesday morning

When Coinbase asked you to confirm that you were paying $2999, why did you click YES?

melwinder

I have made some mistakes here in Bitcoinistan™ myself.  Try not to let mistakes trouble you too much.

Besides, your mistake did not (it appears) involve a permanent loss (like two of mine).  My two came by carelessness and impatience, a deadly combination when dealing with BTC.

Mistakes, even if painful, teach...  They are going to happen.

I was tired---Really tired, and I was watching a livestreamer on twitch tv at the time on my other screen and I didn't think anything of it---and I had thought that I was typing $13.31 worth of btc

Not too bad of a price though.

Keep it for about a year and you'll be glad you made this mistake.  ;)

You call that a mistake? You'll be glad that if let's say one year down the road from today and with the price hitting an all time high, it turns out to be one of most welcoming mistakes ever... and your happiest moment!  ;D ;D Never regret. Look forward.

And pay 10% interest rates for a negative bank account  ;D

Could it be a way of the heavens? Well no one knows lol. Just be thankful that you didn't make that "mistake" when the price was still around the $300 range. Who knows? Maybe those bitcoins will be worth it after some time.  ;)

Hahaha! That is the downside of doing that kind of "mistake". If you can't afford it, you can still sell a fraction of it. :)

How is it Coinbase's or bank's fault? For all they know, you wanted to buy 13.3 BTC.

Your price is higher than the current but I think it will be a great investment for you.

But still not so sure about it. It's hard to stand on "I think" nowadays. A concrete explanation might help others on what they should really do. It's easy to say that "I think it will be a great investment for you" but it's hard to justify that because no one knows what might happen in the future.

Do you believe on destiny now??
As long as you can affort it it's not a big deal. The thing is, everyone in these forums is so overly-positive and one sided so they assure you it wasn't a mistake.
Get your own opinion, you can never be 100% sure btc price will recover.

Think of it as an investment and hope that the price will skyrocket in the next month or so. or you can try to contact support and see if you can have the transaction cancelled

Cause I honestly didn't think that the bank would allow that big of a transaction, but apparently it has

Nobody can predict the future with absolute certainty. With that out of the way it looks to me like the final phases of the bear market.

I am buying, if that helps you.
