Hi guys, i need help. I did a stupid thing. I sent a part of a bitcoin from my own address to my other address using Sparrow wallet (Taproot addresses if it matters). But somehow I did not notice the fee amount. I used Sparrow wallet dozens of times and fee was always adjusted automatically in reasonable range. Something went wrong this time and i did not notice it.

Wait a minute though. you meant to send  $0.20 out of a bitcoin wallet that had almost $48,000 in it? why would someone do something like that?  it seems like what you did is swapped the change address and the recipient address. that's an easy mistake to make i guess. but a costly one!

people should understand that every time they fire up their bitcoin wallet and do a transaction, there is a risk.
