Last night I went to go buy steem for the first time and I made a huge mistake that cost me about $135 US. (facepalm) 

I went to coinbase to make the .05 BTC to steem SBD transaction and I somehow put the wrong receiving address in the spot that I was supposed to put my steem address, I put a BTC address. One that was generated on the screen with a QR code next to it, that I copy and pasted into the slot, thinking it was the steem address. Not sure who's address it was or where this BTC ended up, but it's no longer in my account. 

  So, basically I transferred BTC to someone's BTC account instead of my steem, and I'm not seeing it in my BTC wallet anymore after the transaction has been completed, so I guess it went somewhere else. Such a rookie mistake and I don't think I can recover it. I also got charged a fee of about $3 to do so, and I lost about $135 US. 

Please be careful when making transactions and double check the info every time!!! This isn't a foolproof system and minor mistakes like this can cost you. This was my first send transaction in Coinbase and of course I screwed it up!! haha. Oh well.

If anyone has any suggestions on how I may be able to reverse it, I'd be grateful. I've sent a case number in, but it may take days before I get a response.
