Bitcoin as what it is, and whoever may be its owner, any dispute relating to it can never be put into court. As a whole, the use of bitcoin is not yet generally accepted by most of the countries in the world, resulting to any dispute within it unresolvable. If bitcoin goes down, it goes down, without any person have legal remedies on it.
Not a good thing for you to bumped an old thread which its already 2 years old gap since on the last reply but somehow there are things are considerable to be bumped rather than on creating another new thread.
Bitcoin is invented by Satoshi Nakamoto but it is common knowledge that his identity is not known.If there arise any dispute related to bitcoin or its ownership,how would it be settled by court of law or in other words who is the legal owner of bitcoin?
To be on topic, We have all known that Satoshi is the creator but the owner would be the users itself and if there are any related problems attached to it then it would be still hard to take legal actions due to nature of bitcoin which is not legalized or neither accepted everywhere so theres no possible action would be done.
