What is a Bitcoin address that starts with B?
Only B is not enough. Other shitcoins can have their addresses start with B too.
You can identify the type of a bitcoin address by looking at the first letters of it. If it starts with "1", it's a legacy address. If it starts with "3", it's a P2SH address. If it starts with "bc1q", it's a native segwit and if the first 4 letters are "bc1p", it's a taproot address.Oct 18, 2021[/i]
