Topic: What if 100BTC is mistakenly sent to your wallet? - page 3. (Read 541 times)
Well... To be honest, I would probably keep it.
It would be very cool if someone so wrong. To be honest, I would just keep them in my wallet for a while, and did nothing. I think I would not have sent back. 
I think it would be impossible to identify you as owner of the address, unless you had your name on the account ( like in blockchain dot com), and probably you wouldn't be able to contact him either.
So it would be up to you, if you send him back his 100BTC or not.

I'll be honest, I'd just keep the BTC since the funds are sent anonymously 
Maybe someone is feeling generous and want to give it to a random person. Lol
I will take your bait and be the first one to answer, offering you my HONEST opinion.
Will you return back?
Legally, if you receive money in your bank account it's incorrect to keep the value. Ethically, it's incorrect to keep it.
Yet a sum of 100 BTC is equivalent to some £300k / $400k using present BTC value.
The 'good/bad' part about Bitcoin is that it's not like a bank, therefore technically you
could keep all bitcoins.
My ethical values would push me to return back the BTCs, however by applying a different
methodology. Do you know what happens if you find a suitcase with $100k on the street and you return it?
In most countries you keep up to 10%. Therefore, I will probably enter in contact with the person (they
are more likely to be looking for me and enter in contact) and explain them about my
offer. They either gets back 90 BTCs or I will leave these bitcoins in the wallet for ever
until it reaches $20k/BTC again. When this thing happens, I will return $400k and keep the rest

Be sincere will you return back to the address that mistakingly sent you 100BTC?
