I received 65 BTC from an unknown address...

If it is really 65btc and not 65 usd in btc. then before everything search the address you've receive from, see if there's anything in public explorers from blockchain, anything that can maybe indicate where it came from, you don't wanna be cashing out money from darknet related to really dark stuff would you?

If you feel you're quite normative and have morals, then just return it to the sender's address. If not, then spend it, but there are usually consequences at a later date. Pay attention first to what address it came from, because it is difficult to identify the owner if it is from a hot exchange wallet and and requires additional processing to recover it.

Do you believe the words of the OP, this is like crap he received 65 BTC from an address he doesn't know when there is no proof to see if this is true or just a fake given?

I believe this is a big lie where someone sent a million dollars by mistake and he received it, that logic is absolutely impossible and I don't believe what the OP is saying.

I'm in a bit of a bind and don't know what to do so I decided to bring this issue up here and ask for advice. Just like the heading reads, I received that amount of Bitcoin from an unknown address and don't know what to do about it. Should I spend it or let it be?

because not even Satoshi, Elon Musk or the president of the United States of America could give any random user such huge amount of fund unless you are a hacker and you hacked into an exchange to steal their funds. Because I think there is another side of the story you are not telling us here.

Well, I don't think there is any other side to this story other than the fact that op is lying possibly to make us believe he's an honest person, and also to again merit, and if he's reading and really wants to prove that he is telling the truth, like many already suggested to him, he has two options, and that is...
1. Take a screenshot of the 65 btc in his wallet and post here, and sign a message from the wallet address containing the 65 bitcoin.
2. Share the transaction ID of the 65 btc transaction here, and also sign a message from the wallet address holding the 65 btc funds.

If op doesn't do any of this, it's a clear indication and a confirmation that it was all a lie..

@op

If this is true you are in great danger.

Be very careful what ever you do don’t return it.

Sit on it and wait to see what happens .

Do not return it without contacting a lawyer.

I hope you are lying 🤥 because  if you really got this coin you now have a real problem.

Good luck .

What? Is it my vision, or am I mistaking the figure? Please be clear about what you're saying before you speak. Op, do you mean 65 BTC or $65 worth of it? Anyone with a reasonable mind won't send that much bitcoin with such carelessness.  When I wish to send that much bitcoin, I would verify and confirm at least ten times before I could click the send button, and even then, I would be terrified and believe I had sent to the wrong address. Why not send the transaction ID here for confirmation if, in fact, you did receive that much Bitcoin.

I find it hard to believe this, and I suspect OP made this post merely to gain merit and praise for being so kind to share such news here.

This is going to create a lot of noise so we demand at least a screenshot, you don't have to post the whole transaction ID because you will be targeted by scammers and your inbox is going to be full and they will also trace your address.

There's a reason why it lands in your wallet so you have to investigate why it lands at your address and who sends it, is it a gift or what, hopefully, the sender is not associated with money launderers or scammers or you will have to give it up to the authorities.

But if it is a gift then you are the luckiest guy on Earth and I want to be your friend   but I doubt it is, we'll see if you are serious about creating this thread on how you address our questions.
