PSA: A Painful Lesson in Bitcoin TransfersEthereum (Reddit)For years, I’ve been DCA’ing, watching my small wallet grow into something meaningful for my family’s future. Recently, I decided to take the next step and transfer my Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP to a cold storage wallet.
But I made a mistake.
Somewhere along the way, I must have mistyped a digit in the wallet address. It’s been over 12 hours, and none of it has arrived. I’ve scoured forums, reached out to support, and begged the blockchain gods for mercy, but there is no undo button for mistakes like this. The loss is staggering, not just financially but emotionally. Years of discipline and sacrifice—all gone in a single moment of human error.
It wasn’t a life-changing amount, but it was something I deeply believed in. I’ve been buying, holding, and following this space for so long.
Starting over from zero feels like a punch to the gut, but I’m not giving up. I’ve come too far to let one mistake stop me. If anything, this just makes me more determined to rebuild smarter and stronger. Please, learn from my experience—double-check everything and be extra careful with every transaction. It’s worth the extra time to avoid the heartbreak.
