hi i hope you all can help i can buy bitcoin but i am haveing difficult sending it i just lost £100 any help

[OmegaStarScream]

Which exchange platform did you buy it from? and where are you trying to send it to? Someone else? a wallet, or another exchange and which one is it? It would be easier for us to help you if you could share more details about what you need.

Let me say you have not used a fake exchange for it, if you use a legit exchange and you send the coin to the right address, you will see the bitcoin on you wallet.

It may take time, let the transaction be confirmed first on the blockchain. Answer the questions that has been asked from you.

As much as you made it sound like you need an urgent help, you'll need to be more elaborate in describing what you really want. The information you provided isn't enough to understand what actually happened with you.

How did you lose the £100? Is it that you never received it from where it was supposed to come from or you erroneously sent it to a wrong address?  You also didn't tell us the exchange you used to buy it and where you want to send it to.

You can only get the help you need the when you provide the right details. There's no way you expect us to help by guessing.

So you didn't send BTC, but rather WBTC on Base's network?

If the person gave you a real BTC address (start with 1,3 or bc1) , Coinbase would've shown an error because that's not a valid WBTC (EVM) address.

And if the receiver did give you an EVM address (starts with 0x) then the user should be able to see the funds in his wallet.

Now... if you meant to select another network (such as Ethereum for example), and you selected Base by mistake... the only way to recover the funds would be for the receiver to connect to the base network from his wallet. This should be easy if the recipent uses a non custodial wallet like Trustwallet, MetaMask, OKX wallet, etc. If it's an exchange though... that's going to be more difficult, especially if the exchange does not support the Base network to start with.

Do you mind sharing the address of the person you were to send the Bitcoins to?

Also ask the person if the address he gave you was of an exchange, a custodial service, or a noncustodial wallet. This is very important in case you want to see if there is a chance of recovering the Bitcoins.

OP, I think you still need to learn more about Bitcoin, other blockchain networks, markets, exchanges etc before you start involving in some money.

I think what he meant to say here is that the platform is coinbase and not the blockchain network.

thank you all for your help i will try that thank you

If you can post here the bitcoin address of the person where you paid that £100 of bitcoin then we'll see if he has received it or not.

Nobody knows except the OP. But if it's their first time, it makes sense that he'd be more interested in using the base network, as in the platform, Base is the featured and "free" network option. And the Coinbase network could mean internal transfer. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/HRPQU5OyqjU

Yes, we can only speculate and wait for his additional words and info since he's not also well versed yet on crypto things like his concern of buying.

Let's wait and see if this is going to be it. It only takes his verification and clarity on this one to get the whole picture.
