Think twice before pressing send.

Most probably fat fingered and then sending it in a hurry that transaction must be from a theft or a newbie in bitcoin not knowing that transaction fee is actually the bitcoin he is sending this is really unfortunate bitcoin experience if ever happen to me huge money gone in minutes.

Ops I can not believe my eyes after seeing this. Just think it like me if I did that I will go to...
Actually, this is one of the disadvantages of virtual money. In one second/one mistake we can lose everything in our life. we should learn from it and should not rush to make a transaction where the money is related. I will be very happy if the user get back his/her money by anyway like before.

I am quite surprised. That's the user is well experienced. You can see many transactions held from that address and a huge amount of Bitcoin has been dealing. That means the owner of this address aware of the transaction fees. More than 19490 BTC held on this address by 12,240 transactions. I am wondering if that user attempts to use a new wallet software and he made mistake due to setup unit mBTC & BTC. Can't imagine who has been dealing with such a big amount of bitcoin how he can make such mistakes.

Yes, of course, we should double-check the transaction details like address, fees, and so on. For that, I have to say thanks to Ledger. When I have been making transactions for my campaign participants, first I double-check address into the Electrum software, second time forced to triple check into the Ledger device. So there is very very little chance to miss the address and fees as well. Because Ledger even includes the fees as well to review.

Yes, He mistakenly reverse the fee and amount to send. But seriously in scenario like this where huge money is involved, This whale surely has a lot of money on his wallet that's why sending this huge amount doesn't need a double checking on his side. One thing I'm confused about is why this whale is modifying the transaction fee amount rather than used the default fee.

I don't really get what wsa the specific "mistake" that he has done. Did he just sent it to an invalid address? Or did he sent it on different bitcoin address that he doesn't mean to be sent?
No matter what the reason was, it should be a big lesson to everyone to always double check, triple check or even multiple check every the address before sending any amount.
It takes some minutes but it's totally fine than losing does bitcoins.

That was a ridiculous act, some Bitcoiners do these things in such a haste that they regret the next moment for what they did the previous moment. I ask them what was that haste about? Are they going to miss their bus or is there a dog running behind them? Crypto related things are need to be done with so much care because once gone, it's gone. This is the only precaution a Bitcoiner needs to take care of.

Something hard to accept. This error occurs because of the carelessness of bitcoin users because they are not careful when making transaction. This is a common mistake that continues to occur with bitcoin users. I think checking transaction details before approving a shipment is a small undertaking but a big impact.

Cryptocurrency is money, it is the user's responsibility to carry out transactions correctly, safely and on target. We have to be aware of things like this.

[AakZaki]

think twice before hitting the send button is a ritual that really needs to be done. every time I want to do my delivery, I am more careful and thorough, because if only 1 letter is lost, the assets will not come back and just disappear.

Incidence of wrong addresses is not only in writing errors, but there are several copy paste malware that infects and every time you copy and paste the address, the same address will always appear and it's not our address. it is very dangerous, some of my friends have experienced it.

[ScamViruS]

Any transaction should be checked a second time before finalizing, it is the responsibility of the sender. Since cryptocurrency is money, you should be as careful here as you is in other financial activities. I checked the bitcoin address of this crypto user and saw that he is not a normal crypto user.

There has been a huge amount of bitcoin transactions at his address. So here's to wondering how this crypto user made such a big mistake. Because of a little carelessness, this is an example of how big a loss can be.

[dondonk]

very sorry, of course very sorry that young man, can take a lesson for us not to rush into transactions so that what we do is right and does not make regrets. let's just say that 82k money is an expensive study fee for an experience so that we can focus more on every transaction.

[jademaxsuy]

LOL, this is why I prefer centralized exchange than decentralized because usually the gas fee are already set to the ideal value in which it could be directly accepted and  confirm by the miners. In this case, this bitcoin user is the unluckiest I guess in this current year for that kind of gas fee which is very expensive. I can't imagine what that guy will look like right now especially if money was bought bitcoin was from the loan he made. Hopefully one day miners could be identify and return the money being used in the transaction fee.

It is kinda abuse allowing to process transaction of 1.18$ with gas fee of more than 80K$. Hopefully this kind of event will get a fair refund so that bitcoiners will not afraid to store and transact huge amount of bitcoins.

[Latviand]

WOW this is so unfortunate for him!!

I feel sorry for that guy, but it is old news, unfortunately, as from time to time this very mistake repeats over and over again.

I always check the mempool and transaction fees, and decide correspondingly, is such a newbie mistake!! and we keep seeing people with big money in Bitcoin who still fall in these uninformed behavior.

Because not all people are aware, not all of them are careful before sending bitcoin.

Double checking all the infos or bitcoin addresses is not that easy to do especially if you don't want to put your assets into waste.

Newbies are so excited when they are making transactions with bitcoin because they think that it so easy and fast.

They don't hesitate to check because they are so confident about their accuracy of sending it.

[AniviaBtc]

Unfortunate, but you must be careful with all financial instruments, not only Bitcoin. Few of my fiat bank apps are the same - sending money with one click. And while there could be a chance to get that fiat money back, I can assure you it won't be easy.

This is really true, we should not only focus on the cryptocurrency mistakes that we are experiencing.

There are also people who are experiencing a bad experiences like sending in a wrong bitcoin addresses or wrong number.

Let's say that it is normal for those people who are unknowledgeable but this thread is the wake up call for that so that next time they are already aware about it.
