Cryptocurrency users have full control over their funds, meaning that they have full responsibility for sending coin to an address. Sending a coin to a wrong address will result in very serious consequences. Fortunately, we can not send Bitcoin to a Blockchain. However, if the transaction is accepted because the transaction is recognized as a valid address, things can get out of control very quickly.  

 The wrong address to Blockchain addresses is very rare 

 One of the main reasons why sending Bitcoin to another blockchain is in fact unlikely, since all the wallets that carry out the transaction have a verication step to verify the destination address. For example, if you use a Litecoin address as a Bitcoin address , most will tell you the address is not valid. 

Some people may wonder why wallets recognize the address. First, Bitcoin and Litecoin addresses use different address prexes. Most Bitcoin wallet addresses begin with a "1", while Litecoin begins with "L". Addressing multiple signatures is an exception to this rule, for example the multiple signatures Bitcoin and Litecoin usually begin with "3". In this particular case Blockchain will sometimes be confused and will lead to another Blockchain case. 

 If Bitcoin Blockchain gets Litecoin as a valid address then everything becomes quite complicated. Unless you know the owner of the address, you will lose all the money you have sent. Once the transaction is conrmed by the network, it is considered completed transaction. 

 Sending a coin to a valid address but not the recipient's address will result in a loss of coin. Address incorrect but valid is a very big problem for cryptocurrency, because addresses can get confused if ignored in just a second. The probability of such a transaction is very small. As mentioned earlier users should be cautious every transaction. 

 Finally, the most important thing is to check the correct recipient address. The possibility of other Blockchain submissions is rare but still possible. Never send Bitcoin or cryptocurrency transactions in a hurry. Remember to check the recipient's address to ensure that the coin will arrive in the right place. Otherwise there will be extremely serious consequences.
