Lost Bitcoin Cash to SegWit addresses

in #btc7 years ago

We thought bitcoin cash and bitcoin both have same addresses just different ledger.

Apparently NOT!

Sending bitcoin cash to a SegWit address will make the coin lost, since bitcoin cash ledger does not support SegWit address.

Since SegWit2x is coming, Bitcoin might have 3 address format and it will confuse bitcoin cash users further and they might lost their coin further, effectively making Bitcoin cash more scarce and less circulating supply.
