My friend is new to crypto and recently sent me a screenshot freaking out about a missing BTC transaction. He said he sent funds from his phone wallet to Binance, but nothing had arrived after 2 hours. I told him to check the transaction hash, and it was still showing “0 confirmations.” He was ready to declare it a scam, but I explained that sometimes it’s just how the network behaves, especially with lower fees. I remembered an article I’d read a while back that explained this kind of situation really clearly.
To help him understand, I sent him this link: https://tokenpumper.com/blog/troubleshooting-bitcoin-issues-missing-btc-pending-transactions-and-blockchain-errors — he read it and said it made everything click. His BTC finally came through after about 4 hours, and now he’s more confident about using blockchain explorers and setting proper fees.
