I will take your bait and be the first one to answer, offering you my HONEST opinion.

Will you return back?
Legally, if you receive money in your bank account it's incorrect to keep the value. Ethically, it's incorrect to keep it.
Yet a sum of 100 BTC is equivalent to some £300k / $400k using present BTC value.
The 'good/bad' part about Bitcoin is that it's not like a bank, therefore technically you
could keep all bitcoins.

My ethical values would push me to return back the BTCs, however by applying a different
methodology. Do you know what happens if you find a suitcase with $100k on the street and you return it?

In most countries you keep up to 10%. Therefore, I will probably enter in contact with the person (they
are more likely to be looking for me and enter in contact) and explain them about my
offer. They either gets back 90 BTCs or I will leave these bitcoins in the wallet for ever
until it reaches $20k/BTC again. When this thing happens, I will return $400k and keep the rest

Maybe someone is feeling generous and want to give it to a random person.  Lol

[UserU]

I'll be honest, I'd just keep the BTC since the funds are sent anonymously

[mitsos2017]

I think it would be impossible to identify you as owner of the address, unless you had your name on the account ( like in blockchain dot com), and probably you wouldn't be able to contact him either.
So it would be up to you, if you send him back his 100BTC or not.

[Lintormi]

It would be very cool if someone so wrong. To be honest, I would just keep them in my wallet for a while, and did nothing. I think I would not have sent back.

[rakokiller1]

Well... To be honest, I would probably keep it.

[alexandrea]

It's going straight to my hard wallet 

[romelitounknown]

It's a hard life you know, i'll definitely keep it and never send it back. Anyway it's not my fault and i didn't stole it.

[teksensei]

I guess it depends on what type of person did it
And it can easily be checked in conversation via small transactions with signature

If received 100 bitcoin in wallet, I will totally transfer it to my hardware wallet and I will store it a safe place. The 5% of the bitcoin that I mistakenly received will reserved as my funds in my gambling because I am gambler. But, the rest of the bitcoin will be save for my future.

If I mistakenly received 100 bitcoin I will use the half of it in investment and trading while some of bitcoin will be use in my favorite hobby which is playing in online gambling. I will instantly deposit my bitcoin in my favorite website which is cloudbet and I will play online poker overnight.

I will definitely play gambling if I mistakenly received 100 bitcoin and I will just play here and it just like cloudbet that have various gambling games.

 And suddenly this gift of fate?

I believe this should be the right thing to do - keeping it. It could be that someone was feeling charitable about their enormous coin. But 100btc would be unrealistic. We could look at 1btc or 10btc anyway.

And suddenly this gift of fate?

You can say that again!

[Johnzky]

Be sincere will you return back to the address that mistakingly sent you 100BTC?

 

If he can provide proof that he owns that address to me,then i will consider returning the amount ofcourse less fees,because I don’t want that bitcoin stays on another hand or i will be sure that he is not a hacker that's why he mistakenly sent that on my wallet

Another thing is,i will decide when that situation happens lol.because 100btc is not a small amount that can change life if the recipient is greed and not good person

[peter0425]

Of course I will kept it hahahaha. Addresses has no name associated with it so you can easily hide it yourself but using mixing services and then withdraw it if you want to. And just think of it as a gift from Satoshi.  and say thanks.

[traderethereum]

I don't know about you, but that will be a gift for me and I will keep those 100BTC in my wallet and will not use it, but maybe I will only use 10% as it's a fee for saving in my wallet hahaha.

But I wonder, is there any mistakenly bitcoin sent to my wallet

[anomalous]

First things first, sell and cash out. 100 btc is a lot even with this price so why lose any of it
