  Unfortunately, once a Bitcoin transaction is confirmed and added to the blockchain, it cannot be reversed. The decentralized nature of Bitcoin means that there is no central authority or governing body that can reverse or cancel transactions. Therefore, it is crucial to double-check the recipient's address before sending any Bitcoin to avoid irreversible mistakes.
