An ordinary trader will return Bitcoin after the purchase of NFT with a thick finger
A Bitcoin Ordinals trader has gotten his money back after mistakenly buying a $13,000 NFT on the Bitcoin network.
On March 1, a Bitcoin Ordinals trader shared a post on X about how they made their “biggest mistake” after starting to trade Bitcoin-based NFTs. The trader thinks he bought NFT for 0.021 Bitcoin (BTC), the price is about $1,287. However, the surprise came after the transaction when the trader realized that the NFT was listed at 0.21 BTC (around $12,877).
The businessman said that he felt shame and pain and “lucky man” received a lot of money. According to the NFT trader, he shared the incident to remind others to double-check their digital asset transactions before going along with them.
When the trader accepted the loss, Dan Anderson, the NFT seller, saw the X post and promised to return the money. Anderson highlighted that that was his list and that he offered the NFT in the marketplace to buy back BTC at 0.21. Anderson told the businessman to accept the offer and be fine. “I listed at 0.21 BTC not to catch a fat finger. I was like ‘huzzah' until I saw your post,” Anderson wrote.
The offer to buy back the NFT was accepted, and the money was returned to the trader. At the time of writing, NFT is listed in the market again at 0.21 BTC.
