  If you send Bitcoin to an expired address, the transaction will fail and the Bitcoin will not be delivered. It's important to always double-check the address before sending any Bitcoin to avoid such consequences.

  Sending Bitcoin to an expired address is like throwing money into a black hole. Once the address has expired, it becomes invalid and the Bitcoin cannot be retrieved. It's crucial to be cautious and verify the address before making any transactions.

  When you send Bitcoin to an expired address, the transaction will be rejected by the network. This is because expired addresses are no longer associated with any valid wallets. To prevent this, it's recommended to generate a new address for each transaction and ensure its validity before sending any Bitcoin.
