A Bitcoin Ordinal trader recently shared his unfortunate experience of accidentally buying a $13,000 non-functional token (NFT) on the Bitcoin network.
The trader lamented what he called his "biggest mistake" in trading Bitcoin-based NFTs, and shared his story on March 1 on Site X.
The trader, who initially thought he bought #NFT for 0.021 #bitcoin (BTC), equivalent to about $1,287, was stunned when he realized after the trade that the actual listing price was 0.21 #BTC , or about $12,877.
Embarrassed and depressed, the trader admitted that his oversight had cost the other party a significant profit.
They decided to publicize their gaffe to warn other traders about the importance of checking digital asset trades before entering into them.
The traders accepted their losses, but Dan Anderson, an NFT seller, discovered X's post on the site and immediately offered to refund their money.
Mr. Anderson identified himself as the seller and has already initiated a buyback on the trading platform at the original listing price of 0.21 BTC.
In urging traders to accept the offer, Mr. Anderson emphasized his willingness not to take advantage of unintentional mistakes.
I listed at 0.21 BTC because you shouldn't fish with your fat fingers. I was on a roll until I saw your message," Andersson said.
After the buyback offer was accepted, the funds were promptly returned to the trader and NFT was put up for sale at the original price of 0.21 BTC.
The trader was lucky enough to get his funds back, but not all recipients of misdirected cryptocurrency have shown a willingness to return their funds.
Recent court documents show that on February 26, Australian cryptocurrency exchange OTCPro mistakenly credited one user with $653,000 instead of $65,300.
Despite attempts to contact this user, he did not respond to messages and did not appear in court.
This case echoes previous ones, such as the case of a couple who received $10.5 million from Crypto.
