BREAKING: One typo just cost a guy $60,000 in Bitcoin fees.
Not a hack.
Not a scam.
Just... panic, a custom fee field, and a decimal in the wrong spot.
Here’s how it went down:
👇 Story time...
🧍♂️ A Bitcoiner sent a transaction.
It was slow. He got impatient.
So he used “Replace-by-Fee” (RBF) to speed it up.
💻 He meant to type 30.5 sats/byte
But accidentally typed... 305,692 sats/byte.
💀 That’s 0.75 $BTC .
Gone.
Forever.
Not to another wallet.
Not to a hacker.
To the miners. As a tip.
A $60,000 tip. 😬
This is what we call:
The most expensive typo in crypto this week.
💡 The lesson?
Crypto doesn’t forgive fat fingers.
One tiny number. One wrong field. And boom — goodbye tuition, car, or down payment.
👀 Think it can’t happen to you?
Even pros mess up under pressure.
🙋♂️ So, be honest—what would YOU do if this happened to you?
Cry in the shower?
Plead with the mining pool?
Or just accept the blockchain gods wanted a sacrifice?
