- Dec 26, 2021 · 3 years agoNo, Bitcoin transactions cannot be reversed. Once a transaction is confirmed on the blockchain, it becomes permanent and cannot be undone. This is one of the key features of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, as it ensures the security and immutability of transactions.
- Dec 26, 2021 · 3 years agoUnfortunately, once you send Bitcoin to the wrong address, there is no way to retrieve it. It's important to double-check the recipient's address before sending any Bitcoin to avoid this situation. Always verify the address and make sure it matches the intended recipient.
