In a likely panic move, a Bitcoin user accidentally paid 0.75 BTC (~$70,500) in fees during a Replace-By-Fee (RBF) transaction 😳

That’s roughly the cost of a 2-bedroom apartment in Istanbul… gone in a single blockchain hiccup.

🧠 What happened?

The user tried to bump a pending BTC transaction using RBF.

In doing so, they included an unspent output (UTXO) worth 0.75 BTC — possibly forgetting to update the change address.

The result? All that BTC went to miners as a massive fee.

💬 Blockchain analysts believe it was either a fat-finger mistake or a misconfigured wallet script.

Some speculate they misread the fee rate, intending to pay 30.5 sat/vB, but input 305,000 sat/vB instead — a wild overpayment.

Yikes or lesson learned? 😬
