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 understand your illustration but those acts are like voluntarily passing up bitcoin into another point since we can able to possess bitcoin in our own wallet then its considered private property unless if its really mean to be passed on because of such transactions and come to think that generating a key wont really able give you the chance on accessing someones wallet. Therefore its an impossible stuff. The problem here is that if someone get your property (bitcoin)  you cant take it back since transaction and irreversible and i dont think if B would recieve that money he would decide to give it back.
