Nobody truly owns any bitcoins..because the ownership is only established when you are able to apply a correct private key in a "send" tx (via hardware device or something else), albeit validation of the private key (at some other point in time) is possible. Before that, it is all allegedly. This is in principle, of course.

This is like saying that your house is not truly yours, until you put the key in the lock and open the door...

....

Losing your keys is not relevant to the discussion. In the same manner, the possibility that you could cross a road and be killed by a passing car means that you're not really alive right now. I can see this turning religious fairly quickly...

If you prefer science, I can steer the argument into the realm of quantum physics? OR American divorce laws. One day its your house, other day you come back from work only to discover that your wife is now the sole house owner. Tongue

true..a friend of mine came home one day, wife changed locks, then told the arrived police that he was abusive (with the guy having a truly angelic character).
Police advised him to take a hike and book a hotel room.
Now his former wife lives in the same house with her new husband (who was her boyfriend on the side at the time).
Oh, well, strange things happen in life.
