I was transferring BTC to BTC. If it was to usd that would have been better. I did get this from Coinbase today. I don’t really understand the transfer protocol so much. But if they gave me an address. Shouldn’t it be valid?

We are reaching out to notify you that we recently credited your account for a previous transaction.
When the Bitcoin Cash fork occurred last year, it split the Bitcoin blockchain into two separate chains. After this point, some customers mistakenly sent Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash to an unsupported address from the opposite chain. Because these transactions were not sent to the customer’s registered address on the relevant chain, the funds were not credited to their Coinbase account.
One or more of your incoming transactions was sent to an unsupported address that was not registered to your Coinbase account, and thus was not credited to you at the time of the transaction. As a courtesy to our customers, we retroactively added support for these transactions and credited them to your account.
As the cryptocurrency industry evolves, new blockchains will continue to emerge and could cause confusion about which address you should use for your Coinbase transactions. Coinbase does not support any asset being sent to the address for a different asset. Any funds sent to the incorrect address will be lost.
You should always be sure to use an address which has been generated for the specific asset you are sending. You can view these addresses, or generate a new one, by visiting the Addresses page in your account tools.
Thank you for using Coinbase,
The Coinbase Team
