#Bitcoin payments are irreversible
A #Bitcoin transaction cannot be reversed, it can only be refunded by the person receiving the funds. This means you should take care to do business with people and organizations you know and trust, or who have an established reputation. For their part, businesses need to keep track of the payment requests they are displaying to their customers. #Bitcoin can detect typos and usually won't let you send money to an invalid address by mistake, but it's best to have controls in place for additional safety and redundancy. Additional services might exist in the future to provide more choice and protection for both businesses and consumers.

Some things you need to know
If you're getting started with #Bitcoin, there are a few things you should know.
#Bitcoin lets you exchange money and transact in a different way than you normally do. As such, you should take time to inform yourself before using #Bitcoin for any serious transaction. #Bitcoin should be treated with the same care as your regular wallet, or even more in some cases!

Be Among Smart 8%
Only about 8% of bitcoin owners are estimated to keep their coins in complete safety and privacy. There are hundreds of bitcoin wallet apps. Most wallets are custodial, therefore — not secure, not private, and not independent.
Even if a wallet is non-custodial, it may still not be secure. Only reproducible wallets are completely secure. Mycelium is among them. Mycelium is the most popular among them.

C. SPEND = your spending pockets, with small amounts, enough to cover your regular spending, LN, with funding source from your "CACHE bank".
