Sending Bitcoin Still Feels Nerve-Wracking? You’re Not Alone. That moment of doubt—“Will it actually arrive?”—is real. But here’s the good news: Bitcoin addresses have built-in safeguards. When I learnt this, it greatly reduced the stress of sending Bitcoin. A Bitcoin address isn’t just a random string of characters—it’s structured to prevent errors. Each address contains three key parts that tell the network where to send your BTC (Image below): 1️⃣ Version Number – Identifies the type of address (Legacy, SegWit, Taproot) and ensures compatibility. 2️⃣ Public Key Hash – A shortened, more secure version of your public key. This acts as the unique identifier that determines the recipient of the funds. 3️⃣ Checksum – A built-in error detector. The last 4-6 characters verify the version number and public key hash to ensure the address is valid. Why This Matters: If you accidentally miss or mistype a character, the checksum catches it—and your wallet shouldn't send the transaction. This built-in safety net prevents you from sending your Bitcoin into the ether. That said.... here are a few pro tips for error-free transactions: ✅ Always copy & paste addresses (never type manually). ✅ Use QR codes whenever possible to avoid manual entry mistakes. ✅ Double-check the first & last 5-6 characters before hitting send. Did this help? Let me know if you have any questions or curiosities!

Among many other things, @DOGE today canceled a $17M project to provide tax policy advice to Liberia. Why would anyone think that this is a good use of YOUR tax money? 🤦‍♂️
