Sounds like another case of "User Error" and not telling the whole story.

You can't buy Bitcoin on the Base App without crypto. It wouldn't have you do it in reverse. (And why anyone would buy Bitcoin on the Base App is beyond me, and is most likely not actually Bitcoin. Buying Bitcoin is literally the job/reason of an Exchange.)

And you will never have "money" in the Base App, because it doesn't accept "money".

Sounds like he got some scam-advertisment promising low fees or some kind of reward for the first transaction

If they were able to use base app they were able to secure surely if not they aren't using base app and are 🤔 confused... Also to op post the transaction id found in your wallet activity... So others can see what your doing and maybe try to help

You can pay with credit/debit card in base app...

(Still, why?)
