The stupidest story with Bitcoin happened in 2022 when an Australian resident Kevin Smith accidentally sent 15.$BTC (about $450,000 at the time) to the wrong wallet while testing a new app. He mixed up the addresses while trying to transfer 0.15 BTC, and due to a typo, he lost everything. By June 2025, those coins would have been worth $1.4 million (at $94,500 each). In despair, Kevin wrote on X: “I wanted to test the app, and now I’m testing my nerves.” The community joked: “A new record of stupidity!” He tried to contact the recipient but to no avail. This story became a lesson in attentiveness, turning a simple mistake into an expensive anecdote.
