Topic: Is stealing Bitcoin illegal? - page 2. (Read 39521 times)
I think stealing bitcoin is illegal. It is illegal because even if you are anonymous, there's no law that says you can steal bitcoin from other bitcoin users. Those who do steal bitcoin are brave to steal other's bitcoin. Stealing money is illegal so I think stealing bitcoin is illegal too since since it is also a currency it is just digital.
Off course stealing things are alwasys illegal but you have to know what to steal and what you want to steal with becayse when you steal bitcoins you are untraceable for sure!
You are traceable as the network is their but if you know how to hide your real IP that would link you to the crime then you are safe and free to launder the amount your steal. That is my suggestion but don't do that if I were you if you do not want to face the consequences. 
You can steael whatever you want becuase i know for sure tha the bitcoin is there and you cant trace him so i thiknk that the people who steal bitcoins\
can never be caught.
can never be caught.
All ways of stealing is illegal, bitcoin can steal if you will broadcast you pin to your friends who are also users of bitcoin. But if you are the only one who know about your account i think your money in your wallet is safe.
Yes when u say stealing then yes its illegal.And bitcoin is a currency its also a money so stealing it surely illegal but what you are talking about is don’t think gonna happen.The chance to that happen is very very less.
Bitcoin is money but not a legal money so that is not illegal, I hope you know guys what are the difference of not right and illegal. Maybe it is not right to steal but you cannot say that it is illegal because bitcoin is an independent currency and the government does not recognize it.

no stealing of bitcoin is not legal it is totally illegal morally and lawfully.
Stealing Bitcoin is illegal without any doubt, but the matter it's not easy to judge the stealer like we can doing simply with fiat or other currencies, because Bitcoin is decentralized and anonymous
I believe that all that is done by stealing it is not true, and of course it is something illegal. Well, think about it, if we are in the position of the person who burgled. You may be very upset about it. besides stealing is something that is prohibited in every country, even many rules about it.

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.
Yeah that is illegal becouse there is must be someone own that bitcoin. You should not take it. You have to generate another adress to save your ouwn bitcoin. Dont act like criminal it is doesnt good.Stealing bitcoins is no difference than stealing the fiat and both are illegal and also against the law. But the only difference is that if you steal bitcoins, there are very less chances that you will be caught as bitcoin is anonymous.
The fact that bitcoin is anonymous you cannot trace the real identity of the person who are stealing bitcoins and that is the big problem for the authorities to investigate the case.

Obviously stealing words from ones mouth is also a crime and stealing anything is a crime. Bitcoin is a digital money and it doesn't mean that you could make others your own. But you had mentioned that if you get bitcoin from randomly generated address then it's not is not your fault. You could enjoy with your money.
It's so funny I thought this place would be filled with smart people. You guys cannot even understand the context in a thread.
I was asking if somebody generated a BTC address, checked the BTC network, saw it already had BTC in it, then took it, if that is illegal. I am pretty certain it isn't. If you say it is and a BTC developer heard you I'm sure he'd give you a great big slap.
But there is no way that a persons can generate same address or an address get generated twice within this small number of bitcoin users. The probability of that happen is very very and very low, I have not heard that happen and I think it may take hundreds of years to happen even bitcoin gets exponentially new users.

Anything that is owning a bitcoin from someone is stealing.
This is a against the law. I suggest that you must a find
way to earn bitcoin.

It is a very evil things to do, we already have many thieves around us that want to tax us at 90%....
Let's stop the robbery, and focus our efforts to make bitcoin the nr.1 currency on the planet.
yeah if you have no other option to get bitcoin, do not think to commit theft because it was prohibited, was the work continues, there is a way to out of this problem Let's stop the robbery, and focus our efforts to make bitcoin the nr.1 currency on the planet.
It is illegal to steal. It can be anything. It can a currency or anything. One works hard and earns the bitcoins, but the other takes away from him/her by any source available, either physically or online. Really unbearable dude. This is not a good act. Stealing of anything is illegal. It can be any currency or any valued item. Lets not encourage this using any source.

No one would listen to something like that really, everyone likes something that is for free without any work which is the case in stealing as well, so if someone gets a chance to steal something or even bitcoins they wont leave the chance at all without thinking about anything.
