The Tale of the Mistyped Wallet Address ššš
Rajesh was thrilled. He had just made a tidy profit on his crypto trades and wanted to surprise his best friend, Arjun, with a gift of 1 BNB to celebrate.
Arjun had been helping Rajesh learn crypto trading, so Rajesh decided to send the BNB as a thank-you. Without thinking twice, Rajesh quickly copied Arjunās wallet address from an old chat and pasted it into the transaction field on Binance.
Excited to see Arjunās reaction, Rajesh hit āSendā without double-checking the address. āDone! Check your wallet, bro!ā
A few moments passed. Arjun replied, āUhā¦ thereās nothing here.ā
Rajeshās heart sank. He opened the transaction record to discover his worst nightmare: he had accidentally sent the BNB to a random wallet address one digit off. He had pasted the wrong address!
Panicking, Rajesh spent the next hour trying to figure out how to reverse the transaction. When he realized crypto transactions were irreversible, he had to break the news to Arjun.
āBro,ā Rajesh said, sheepishly, āI just donated 1 BNB to some random strangerā¦ or worse, a dead wallet.ā
Arjun laughed. āLooks like you just made someoneās day. Next time, double-check, man. Itās called DeFi, not DeFree-for-all!ā
From that day on, Rajesh became the self-proclaimed king of āCheck Twice, Click Once.ā He even made it his trading mantra: āIf youāre fast, youāll lose cash!ā
Moral of the story: Always double-check the recipientās wallet address before sending crypto. One small mistake could cost you big!
