Can the case of letters in BTC wallet addresses affect the transaction? I'm wondering if it matters whether I use uppercase or lowercase letters when sending or receiving Bitcoin. Will the transaction go through if I enter the address in the wrong case?

- May 02, 2022 · 3 years agoYes, BTC wallet addresses are case-sensitive. It is important to enter the address exactly as it is provided to you. If you use the wrong case, the transaction may fail and the funds could be lost. Make sure to double-check the address before sending any Bitcoin.
- May 02, 2022 · 3 years agoAbsolutely! BTC wallet addresses are indeed case-sensitive. It's like the difference between 'john@example.com' and 'John@example.com'. They are treated as two different addresses. So, always be careful with the case when dealing with Bitcoin addresses to avoid any potential issues.
