Are you using a Bitcoin.com wallet (or is it some other Bitcoin wallet?)

Please make sure you're sending from your BTC wallet if you want to sent BTC (Bitcoin Core). If you want to send BCH (Bitcoin Cash) please make sure you've selected BCH. The Bitcoin.com wallet supports both BCH and BTC.

If you need more help please post screenshots or provide more details (wallet you're using, what the address looks like, etc).

That message is a friendly alert, a reminder to make sure that you're sending the correct coin (BCH or BTC).

You're screenshot says BCH.

Do you want to send BCH or BTC?

If you want to send BTC please back up one screen. The click/tap on the BCH wallet on the bottom of that screen. You'll then see an option to select other wallets including BTC.

My mistake. I was thinking of receiving.

Rather than backing up a screen, you should be able to change from BCH to BTC on the enter amount screen if you tap/click to the side of it.

Bitcoin Core (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash IBCH) are two entirely separate cryptocurrencies and they operate on two entirely separate blockchains. This means that Bitcoin Cash (BCH) sent to an address on the Bitcoin Core (BTC) blockchain will never appear nor be present on the Bitcoin Cash blockchain.

What you can do though is use the ShapeShift.io service (on the homescreen under services) within your Bitcoin.com wallet.

You may also use other exchanges.
