I'm talking about the money kind of bitcoin.
Some situations where the bitcoin status of being a private property or not could arise:
> A mistakenly sends bitcoins to B, and A finds out who B is.
> A mistakenly shows his private keys to B (by just saying it), and A finds out who B is.
> B executes a replay attack on A.
> B, by an practical impossible luck, creates a private key that had founds that belonged to A already.
> B sends money to A (and A sends "something" or some information to B). Then, we don't know why, everyone decides to change their Bitcoin rules and the result is that A can't get to spend his money in the new version.
I started an article (
here) trying to defend the idea that bitcoin is not private property, therefore all of the examples above couldn't be classified as theft or robbery (of private property).
What do you think?
I think it is your private property until and unless you own it .
The private keys are suggested to keep very protected and doesn't have to be shared to anyone because of the same reason because if you have it its completely yours and the funds are also completely yours implying that it is your " private property". But once you loose it to someone you are most likely to loose everything you have in your wallet and that is no longer your private property and you have no right to claim that afterwards for any reason.
