Stealing is always illegal if you call it stealing already cause it means taking something which isnt yours without asking that's illegal in any place.
Stealing bitcoin won't really work anyways if you don't have the information of the other person it's near impossible to hack.

To be the oP is so pathetic and it really obious that stealing someones money or bitcoin is illegal acitivity then he gonna ask if is legal or illegal how people nowadays like media they always manipulating people to believe them on what they are going to do. hayst.

yeah me a bit not understand what is the answers sought by the OP, stealing is still stealing and that's illegal act how you do but I try to think positively maybe she's afraid to use bitcoin upon hearing that bitcoin can be easily hacked by a hacker.

It's very obvious that stealing some money are too illegal and as you said in your reply it is still illegal make some sense make money in legal things you can receive more than what you deserve if you work hard stealing is not a solution in money or a problem that what we are facing too everything can be learn and everyhing will be perfect..

If you can find a private key, it's like finding money on the floor.

Just don't hack into others network and you'll be fine.

Let's say I generate a new address and by some miracle it has Bitcoin already in it belonging to somebody else. Is it legal to just take it? I understand those odds are very low, no need to lecture me, I'm just interested.

Of coursing stealing Bitcoin is illegal because it still is stealing but the thing is that it is online and these people who steal Bitcoin know how to get away with it.
Nobody can find out who the person is and that is why it can happen.

I dont think you can get caucht by stealing bitcoins do you know why because bitcoins are not from you they are from everyone who has bitcoins because they are not on your name.

Yes of course! stealing bitcoin is very illegal. but in your statement I cannot consider it stealing and I don't see any illegal in that matter. I can say its just an accident to sent it to your address. Meaning you had no fault in it.

yeah it's no one's fault and what you're doing now can't be consider illegal, and this is an one in a million coincident so you can't be consider as a stealer as well.

Yes accident receiving bitcoins to your bitcoin wallet that has been accidentally sent by someone is not considered as stealing. But you must be responsible if someone sent that to you. I guess you are just going to return it to the sender but it is going to depend on your conscience but this type of incident is very hard to happen.

Vwry right. The probability for that to happen is too low. There are too much numbers and each one are spexial. I think it will prompt an error once tou deleted a certain number or letter.

Off course stealing things is alwats illegal but you need to know that bitcoins are not traceable so you cant deal with that so in one way it is not illegal because it are bitcoins.

If you are stealing from people's wallets or accounts etc that is plain stealing as it isn't like fiat money, where you may find a few coppers on the street and pick them up. Bitcoin is stored so wherever it is stored and then stolen from, then it amounts to theft that's for sure! Cry

As OP said he generated an address which is already been own by someone because there is a balance on that said address. Hes askin if he would intend to get those bitcoin is considered as stealing then for sure its stealing but even if he intend to get back those coins he wouldnt still know the true owner of those coins.

I think it is not included in steals bitcoin. unless you go into someone's wallet and took their bitcoin. but I've never heard of someone getting bitcoin in a new bitcoin address generated, are you ever heard it?

lol of course it will never happen. the system will not produce bitcoin address is already in use. bitcoin address will never expire so someone bitcoin address will not disappear although never in use in the long term, so like get bitcoin from it is impossible

Well that is not illegal basically there is a difference between fools and honest people. If you find 1000$ floating and drowning in the river and you collect them its not stealing and same here, if you find BTC they are yours.

In this case, I think that the OP is not a stealer but in the same time those bitcoin doesn't belong to the OP. If you collect 1000$ floating in the river as you said then the first thing we'll do as we're taught is to bring it to the police station or find the owner of it.

Every generated address is unique, it is like your own thumb print. When you generate Bitcoin address you won't be able to copy the old bitcoin address also there is no possibility that the new generated address will have bitcoin in it. So if does happen what will you do with it? And if not, how will you send it back at which address will you send the Bitcoin back?

I think it is impossible to find in an address bitcoin newly created, because the person will not be able to send bitcoin to the wrong address, so it will be impossible dude

In extreme condition collision may occur, at the time you might see bitcoin balance in a newly created address. But it might happen after thousand years, because bitcoin coalition may occur at the time only as per my understanding about bitcoin address collision prevention.

Bitcoin is a money and stealing a money is absolutely illegal actually stealing anything is illegal and bitcoin has a good nice value to how it can be legal.

The problem is I'm not sure if every government accepts bitcoin as money or legal property. To consider the act "stealing", bitcoin must be considered a property that someone can own, first. But I don't think that every government has a law for that. And if there's no regulation on it, stealing of bitcoin can't be understood or punished by law. What do you think?

The real question should be, Is investing in HYIPs immoral, knowing that if you win, others have lost their money just so you can win.

Cool

you are right it is better not to invest in any hyips because they will never give you a possibility to make money

I think the answer is already obvious based from the question that you've asked. From the word "stealing", does it sound legal to you? I'm sure it's not because I know you know about the stealing thingy like stealing money from someone, stealing cars, and so on is illegal. so it goes the same with bitcoin. Stealing bitcoin is illegal also since it's a possession of someone already. Getting someone's bitcoin because you've accidentally generated their bitcoin address will be called stealing if you'll just get it without their permission and it is Illegal. I hope you've found the answer that you're looking for.
