I'm concerned about the security of my Bitcoin. If I somehow misplace or lose access to my Bitcoin, what would be the consequences? Can I retrieve it or would it be gone forever?

This issue often arises due to typing errors when inputting the recipient's address.

Copy/paste mistakes are another common reason for sending Bitcoin to the wrong address.

Software bugs can also lead to the incorrect input of an address, causing Bitcoin to be sent to an invalid location.

Once the transaction is confirmed on the blockchain, there is no way to reverse or correct it. This means that the Bitcoin sent to the wrong address is effectively lost.
