If you recieved random BTC, would you return it?

[pooya87]

this is a rather hard question to answer. i think it depends on how much i am tempted to keep it and it also depends on if it is a random bitcoin that i receive or is it a mistake. if it is random and small i wouldn't even care to look for it but if it is by accident and a little big i would try to give it back to the real owner.

[Dr.Osh]

Well, I guess I'll give it back, I knew it was not right to me, so I'll give it back regardless of the amount. that person may be in dire need of the bitcoin, and I think, if it happened to me, I probably wanted the money I send the wrong back. so I would probably give it back, because it's possible that it happened to me.

Mistaken I have sent to wrong bitcoin address, but haven't got it back. If I get some by mistake will try to find the right bitcoin address and return it back.

to be honest , to earn more trust and to earn more fund really many will run away with that amount specially if it is over 10000 $ but to be honest stealing money will not last for long time .so return 80 % of the total and keep the 20 % as a fee after agreement  with the sender .

major of people saying will get it back but the reality they won't even a dollars,just words without action is the same as bullshit,i ever sending to wrong address,been trying to send him public notes and after few days nothing happened,just my bitcoin moving from his wallet to another stranger wallet

I agree, some people will probably keep the coins if they don't know who's that person that send the funds but if it somehow their relative I'm sure that's when their empathy will work. Most people are selective when it comes to having empathy.

[AYGTX]

Honestly i will give it back , because what happened to the sender can happen to me , and it's sad to loose your money in a wrong click ; But surely i'll ask for some freebucks

[Barbut]

Probably I would return it, but I can`t say that for sure. Now I`m ok with money, and I have coins and fiat. But lets say I`m in desperate need for money, I would think twice before I send it back. Maybe I would take some percent and give back the rest.
Its really hard to say why would I do, answer on this question depends from many things in my opinion. And like a human with a feelings, depending from a moment I think I`m capable for everything.
If something like this ever happen to me, I will tell you how i reacted. Until than I can just imagine situation, and in my mind everything is possible.

Not only me no one can return bitcoin that they are received randomly or mistakenly. Everyone in the world is working just for money and if they get free money than how they will get back this money or bitcoins??  But i have believe that there are some  people that will return the bitcoins if they received by mistake but if the person want back that money

i think the greed of man will come when they see a free bitcoin is present in their wallets, I'm not a hypocrite that I also possess it? maybe I'll save and use the money within a certain period if they are not contacted me, i think there are many people who would agree with me

[eternalgloom]

I would keep it for about 2 weeks and if someone contacted me about it during that period, I would give it back.
It used to happen that people sent me like 0.20 btc by mistake, here on the forum, but I always returned it of course.

[Red-Apple]

the honest thing to do would be returning bitcoin because it is not yours to keep.

but i think it doesn't matter what we all say here because when it comes to acting about it, then it would be so hard to receive about $1000 for free (by accident) and remain honest enough to give it back.

[ausbit]

I would send back bigger amounts but low amounts are not worth finding the righteous person they came from. It is very hard announcing

oh wow, i doubt that i would send back even more than i got but i would most probably return it back, i hope i will never get any bitcoins on accident as it would be a trouble for me

I too would return it, however, I'd be honest that I would have liked some form a compensation for that bit of a trouble. I'm not asking much, but maybe around 5% of those coins? But of course, only if they'd want to.

you would, i believe you would and for honesty, many people will reward you

I think there will not be concerned with good intentions that you do unless God will repay it. bitcoin world full of secrets and anonymous they will not know or will not care what you do. so if I got it certainly would not return the money. unless the owner asked me

[Doamader]

This question is hard to aswer, if i got 1000btc i dont know what i would do even 500 btc, sure mistakes usually happens on portions, lets say maybe 0,01btc wrong adress, this is pennies soo can be refunded or not. Almost all people here looks to be honest, but if you are on the street and 50 dollars cross your fingers or stop at your shoes, you wont be asking people in the street who lost the money...im honest people but i dont know what i would do i hope no one make such mistake to donate bitcoin to random adress.

But some people is nothing become a greedy man if they see a free bitcoin presents. but just a little percentage but I sure the most people will become a greedy man about it. it's just free and you don't need to do anything.

[TGD]

Many of us don't no what we trully do  if it happen  maybe others will back but how about you receive an amount that you would never ever had I don't think most of us will say I will return it 😂😂😂 especially when you don't know who sent it to you

[upsidedown75]

Let's say you wake up some day and you get like 1 BTC. For me this is a lot. What do you do? You return back the BTC to the owner, do you keep it? and why.

I don't know what I would do to be honest. I mean who knows if the guy that just sent you this is a criminal or a good man? Very tough decision. For someone like me that has a small BTC wallet and is trying to make as much BTC as possible before its too late due price going too high, it would be hard to return it, but I would feel bad to keep it too.

First off someone sending 1 btc by mistake is highly improbable, but if it were to happen, I wouldn't bother sending it back.
I think I'd put the btc to better use than the person who sent it to you by mistake.

I would always first see from where the bitcoins came from, if its a big exchange who earns 100's of bitcoin then I will not return but if it is sent from someone who works hard and earned it, I will definitely return it instantly. Because I know how much it will pain to a hard worker on loosing some money.

[Wendigo]

If you found a random lost wallet on the street or in a public bus or something would you return it granted that you could see the owner's address in there? If you are a honest person with morals you know what the right thing to do is. I guess you could ask yourself the same question if you received a random Bitcoin transaction to your wallet that doesn't belong to you/wasn't intended for you and as you could see the sending address you could decide what the moral thing to do in that instance is.

[ausbit]

If i know where to send back the bitcoins then i will return it. though it would be great having a coins came from nowhere i still cant enjoy money that is originally not mine.

I will make a compensation with the sender, ask him to take some back as he is the right owner while if he likes then let me keep some as I was the one fortunate and deserve something for my honestly

[Havelivi]

Let me say true about this if ever I received some bitcoins randomly than surely I would like to keep it for me, I'll never send it to back to that address and will consider it as a gift from God.
