Hi,
i have found a wallet with 40 BTC.
The last transaction was 2011.
Can i take the money?
Or is it not legal?
Please Help!
Best Regards!
You found the keys to a car. Can you take the car? Is it legal?
Don't be an idiot. The money is yours. It is not illegal to transfer bitcoin if you have the key to do it. Having the key means it is your bitcoin. Take it and transfer it to another address before another key holder does that.
Not really, what i would do is to donate 39 BTC to people who needs it. Like donating to projects everyone use, but no one donates to, like UNOMP, BCOIN, and many others. I would keep 1 BTC as a reward for fair distributing the funds.
But the question is, how did you found a private key in a forum, with 40BTC in the wallet ? normally as it is existing since 2011, it should have been aleready emptied.
Yeah I really doubt that you would do that if you were the person with access to over 40 thousand US dollars. People always say that they will donate money if they got it, but when they manage to get that money,they just spend the money for themselves. Maybe you should make a more realistic goal like maybe donating 1-5 Bitcoin to those things. I would say that if you have access to that 40 Bitcoin, then you should just take it, if you don't, someone else might and they might not be the actual owners. And it is not like you are going to get caught for taking that money.
