My investment time was beyond 2030. I have not lost hope I think people might misunderstand when I say I have doubt I have doubt because when I purchased that Bitcoin 1st I was shaking this was not because I was worried but because it was a uncontrollable reaction my body had when I made the order. When I got it in my exchange wallet I prolly checked the address 100 times before sending I even sent multiple "test" amounts to not fuck up.

I think this is a pretty common reaction for anyone buying bitcoin for the first time. In fact I think it is a pretty common reaction for anyone who sends btc to new addresses. There is a constant paranoia feeling that you will fat finger it and fuck up, your btc won't show up, and your coins will be somehow lost forever. The waiting for confirmations for what feels like an eternity doesn't help the feeling either.

Anyone that pretends otherwise is full of shit.

And incidentally, I feel that it is the main reason why Bitcoin won't ever be used primarily as a medium of exchange without a more user-friendly, mindless, easy mode for the Average Joe masses. Like sending a payment with a credit card, a bank account, or an app like Google Pay / Apple Pay at any local store. It needs to be so mindlessly easy, trusting, and instant for the masses that you don't worry that your btc won't show up.

Sad news is I am not a 1st time buyer which sounds sad when I react like this. I need some software which allows you to compare 2 strings to see if they are identical that way I would not worry about cocking up the addresses which I always check many times before submitting with lower levels of btc

Honestly and sadly, the best most reliable way to confirm an address is still with manual, visual confirmation. Any automated way can still be phished/hacked, even in real time, and should not be relied upon.

Again, this is why bitcoin as an everyday transaction medium is still not ready for the hundreds of millions of inept masses out there.
