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? 😬
