  One possible way for someone to lose all their Bitcoin in one transaction is by sending it to the wrong address. This can happen if the user mistypes the address or if they are tricked into sending their Bitcoin to a scammer's address. Once the Bitcoin is sent, it cannot be reversed or recovered, resulting in a complete loss of funds.

  Another way to lose all Bitcoin in one transaction is by falling victim to a phishing attack. Scammers can create fake websites or emails that mimic legitimate cryptocurrency platforms, tricking users into entering their private keys or seed phrases. Once scammers have access to this information, they can easily transfer all the Bitcoin to their own wallets, leaving the user with nothing.
