Help with buying bitcoin

[Odogwu-Blockchain]

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

You haven't lost it if you send to the right address, maybe you sent to wrong address. But the overall questions are, what platform did you buy the Bitcoin, did you signup in the platform first or you buy directly from your credit card to a Bitcoin address straight, such site do exist.

Could you let me know these before I could help you out?

thenk you all for the replies i think i made it hard for you i bought bitcoin on £100 on coinbase copyed the address to were i am sending it to and sent it on the bitcoin network or should i send it through the coinbase netwark i am useing a copmuter not a mobil thank you

You're not really helping matters with your explanation.

Did you send the Bitcoin already? Or you're asking for recommendation on which network to use between bitcoin network and coinbase network?

If you already sent the coin, you should be able to see the status of your transaction. It should be either processing or confirmed. Regardless of the status, you don't need to panic if you're sure you use the correct address and network.

If you're yet to send the coin, there's chance to make everything correctly. You can use either bitcoin network or coinbase network (coinbase internal transfer) depending on where the receiver want to receive the coin. If you're sending to a fellow coinbase user, you should use internal transfer because most internal transfer is usually free.

I hope this helps. If not, share more detail explanation.

According to what Op said in his post above he is yet to withdraw his £100 worth of Bitcoin he bought on coinbase and he is yet to withdraw because he do not know if he should withdraw it to Bitcoin network or if he should send it through coinbase network. Whether Op wants to withdraw his Bitcoin to his wallet or send it to another person, the informations you provided him with will help him withdraw his Bitcoin successfully. If Op is yet to solve his problem i believe your informations will be helpful to him.

I think you should had explained the processes you went through during when you lost the £100.
You didn't indicate if you're a newbie else stressing from the basic would be more understandable to you.
Else if you've basic knowledge, it'd be facilitating.
I either don't know what consecutive times you've experienced this difficulties. Meanwhile it seems like it's your first time trying to send out bitcoin from your wallet.
Also make sure you're sending with the same crypto network BTC of the receiver.

You didn't indicate if you're a newbie else stressing from the basic would be more understandable to you.

Based on the brief explanation provided by bros @OP, we can confirm that he indeed lacks experience in this area. However, many members have already provided him with feedback.

We haven't heard anything from him since his last post in this thread on July 22:

In my opinion, he has already resolved the issue. So, we shouldn't need to have any further discussion in this thread.

If you purchased your Bitcoin through exchange platform using your credit card then it is on your balance just that you do not know how to navigate it through the exchange. However, if you buy through p2p then it's possible that you have lost the money because in p2p you must have to be extremely careful because it's easier to scam people through p2p. Lastly I would like to know which of the exchange you are using to make purchase of Bitcoin?

If you have bought Bitcoin for the Euro that was exchanged by selling coins, now if you want to take it to a wallet or exchange, then go there and copy the Bitcoin address. At the beginning of it, it will be like this

Address Starts With	Address Type	Example
1	Legacy (P2PKH)	1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmvExample
3	Script (P2SH including wrapped SegWit and many multisig addresses)	3J98t1WpEZ73CNmQviecrnyiWrnExample
bc1q	Native SegWit	bc1qw508d6qejxtdg4y5r3zarvary0c5xw7kExample
bc1p	Taproot	bc1p5cyxnuxmeuwuvkwfem96Example

Then go to the Coinbase's withdraw section and select bitcoin network , Of course do not use the Coinbase network.

Op you have already received many instructions and advice from which you have probably benefited. You are using the coinbase exchange wallet but the problem is that if the wallet address you are sending to belongs to a different network then you may face such a problem. In my limited knowledge it seems that if you could have correctly selected the network to which you are sending bitcoin to the wallet address, you might not have been able to do this complicated situation. It was necessary for the exchanges to auto-select the network by looking at the sending address.

I’m so sorry for the £100 that you lost, it’s a painful experience. What I will only say is that, before you send your bitcoin, start with a very little amount and ensure that the address is correct and everything is working properly. Make sure to always double check the wallet address when you’re sending, ensure that the wallet is a correct one, and if possible use copy and paste instead of typing the address. If you’re still finding it difficult to withdraw from the exchange or sending to a different wallet. The more you open up to us the more it will be more easier for people to help you avoid another loss.

You just made one of the many mistakes newbies regularly made. Having to do what they do not have a clue of and when encountered with bad results, that when they come asking questions they should have asked from onset before going on with doing what they are not sure of.

I sympathise with your financial loss it is really painful and I can relate for what it was for some of us with all that experience, but coming to forum asking necessary questions, it helped prevented us from some of this painful experience as this one you shared of your £100 loss.

Always ask questions for what you are not sure of how to go about it.

This is misleading, he has bought the Bitcoin, bought Bitcoin on coinbase exchange and want to withdraw it to his another place, maybe his personal wallet in this case. If it's a modern wallet, it will support Segwit, that is all he need, all he need to do is to return to coinbase, click on withdrawal, select Bitcoin and choose network as Bitcoin because he said if it's okay to use coinbase network but it's not, he need to select Bitcoin network, paste the wallet and include the amount and withdrawal. The withdrawal will be concluded in few minute.

Are you experiencing network challenge in your area or you don't know the right exchange to use to purchase bitcoin? I will advice you to visit many trends in this forum and you will see some questions that related to your question and the respond given to make the person to understand on how to purchase bitcoin and sell bitcoin, I know you will start receiving massages from scammers because of asking this question they know that you are a newbie in the forum, and this is the kind of users they are looking for to deceive to have access to their funds and never to send the bitcoin.

[BitBakerr1]

Op you have already gotten good reply and I have seen that you are satisfied however if you have further issue, please don’t try to solve it alone. Make sure you come back here to inform us or tell us about the issue so we can help you together. I don’t want you to lose any other money again.
I know it is not easy, especially when you are new into bitcoin investments you will find some things a little bit confusing but if you are very active in this forum and you ask questions, things will be easy for you.

Thank you for pointing this out because such explanation will do nothing but confused the OP the more. The problem the OP is facing may be a case of copying wrong Bitcoin address or chosing a wrong network and assuming he could past the address here, then we would have know how to help him but seems the OP is deliberately withholding the full details of the problem which is why it is looking rather complicated to resolve.

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

I don't understand, which market do you walk in and buy Bitcoin or Bitcoin has become cake, you must have understood the concept of Bitcoin and how it works, the risk involved, the channels, block chains, security measures and investment, though this dueling process is not comprehend in one atmosphere of learning, it takes time and then finally decision making but if you didn't go through all this and you brought Bitcoin, from who? Which wallet? Or local crypto exchange or how did you make your purchase before losing it, by the way who were you intending to send to? At the same time if you through loss your money but you need to learn what's important about saving money as Bitcoin and the risks involved.

[GiorgoArm15]

Need more info to figure out what happened:

1. Tell us the full story of how you lost the money, step by step.
2. Go through each step with as much detail as possible.
3. What platform did you use?
4. Was it a major international exchange like Binance, Coinbase, or Kraken?
5. Was it some kind of DEX that lets you wrap BTC and move it to other networks?
6. Was it a cryptocurrency exchange aggregator like SwapSpace?
7. Or was it some local platform?
8. Or you used one of popular crypto mobile wallets?

The more details you give us, the easier it’ll be to narrow things down and find a possible solution

Right now, it’s way too vague
there could be a thousand different scenarios, and each one may require a different approach

[Awaklara]

OP didn't explain in detail the actual problem they're experiencing. We don't know whether the issue is with the selected network or if they copied the wrong address. 
I think OP could look for a tutorial on how to make a withdrawal on that exchange. Just need to follow each step, and it's done.

[Bitcoin Smith]

Are we talking about Coinbase Exchange or coinbase wallet here?

It looks like the user bought bitcoin via p2p, sent PayPal, but who received the cryptos here, kind of unclear after reading the thread.

Newbies who are okay with KYC can stick with exchanges instead of p2p trading and they should ignore payment modes like Paypal or others which can be reversed, even bank transfers are high risky modes in my country so stating the country also helpful.
