Fat finger errors prove that crypto is still vulnerable to simple human mistakes.
The infamous “fat-finger” error is a humbling reminder that the crypto sector is still vulnerable to human goof-ups, no matter how futuristic crypto feels.
A fat-finger error is a mistake in which a user accidentally inputs incorrect information when sending/selling/receiving crypto, typically due to a typing mistake. This can result in massive losses or miscalculations.
Common mistakes include adding an extra zero (or two) or accidentally sending one’s entire savings to the wrong wallet.
