# Sending BTC

Since creating PSBTs from scratch can be rather intensive, the ME wallet exposes a simple method on the provider called `sendBtcTransaction` to facilitate the basic request of sending bitcoin to another address.

In pattern with the previous methods, the ME provider extends [Sats Connect](https://docs.xverse.app/sats-connect-v1/methods/sendbtctransaction) to ensure a clear format to send BTC.

```typescript
import { sendBtcTransaction, BitcoinNetworkType } from "sats-connect";

// in a real app, you'll use the ME 'payment' address returned after a connection
const nativeSegwitAddress = 'bc1qcdmvsc8qqk8sr2st3mttu6fsmfrjzh5xrf4dch'
const recipientAddress = 'dummyAddress'

await sendBtcTransaction({
  payload: {
    network: {
      type: BitcoinNetworkType.Mainnet,
    },
    recipients: [
      {
        address: recipientAddress!,
        amountSats: BigInt(1500),
      },
    ],
    senderAddress: nativeSegwitAddress!,
  },
  onFinish: (response) => {
    alert(response);
  },
  onCancel: () => alert("Canceled"),
});
```

This will prompt the user to send the specified amount of sats to the `recipientAddress`

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs-wallet.magiceden.io/bitcoin/sending-btc.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
