Crypto Basics | Why can’t on-chain transfers be reversed?
Once an on-chain transfer has been included in a block and received enough confirmations, no institution can unilaterally reverse it. Wallet providers and nodes can’t do it either.
The inability to reverse transactions is one of the trade-offs of blockchain: there’s no central authority that can alter the ledger, so there’s no one who can help you roll back a transaction.
To wrap up, here’s a market update: $BTC is trading at 83417.37, down 1.01% over 24 hours.
It’s okay to take it slow. Staying in the game matters more than making a big profit on any one trade.
