I'm wondering what would occur if I accidentally sent some Bitcoin to an address that's no longer in use or has been inactive for a while.

If a mistake occurs during a transaction, the only feasible option is to reach out to the recipient, assuming you know their identity.

This necessitates having access to or knowledge of the address the cryptocurrency was sent to.
