  Unfortunately, once a bitcoin transaction is confirmed and sent to a wrong address, it is extremely difficult to recover it. Bitcoin transactions are irreversible by design, and there is no central authority that can reverse or cancel a transaction. It is important to double-check the address before sending any bitcoin to ensure it is correct.

  No, Coinbase cannot help you recover a bitcoin that was sent to the wrong address. Once a transaction is confirmed on the blockchain, it cannot be reversed. It is crucial to be careful when entering the recipient's address to avoid such mistakes.

  While Coinbase cannot directly assist in recovering a bitcoin sent to the wrong address, there are a few steps you can take. First, reach out to the recipient and explain the situation. If they are willing, they can send the bitcoin back to you. If that doesn't work, you can try contacting customer support at Coinbase and explain the situation. They may be able to provide guidance or offer some assistance, although there is no guarantee of recovery.
