Here is another fun brain teaser. Seeing as it is very easy to make mistakes when copying and pasting your Crypto Address and you could very easily send crypto to a wrong person.... What would you do if tomorrow you woke up and found that 4 BTC was transferred to your wallet? Would you sell it? HODL it? Try to figure out who sent it to you and why and try to return it if it was a mistake? Would you buy things with it? Would you swap it for a different token/coin?

Hmm. Interesting question. The first thing my mind came up with is to create a service to help people find the people (owners of wallets) in such cases :) So if it was me, I'd probably spend some little effort to find the owner. If not found, sell half and hodl half. If found, ask if they're ok with 3.8 btc returned :)
yeah I would feel guilty I think if someone accidentally sent it to me. KARMA and all that. I would try to send it back minus gas fees at first and then I think after a month or two I would swap some and keep the rest just in case the owner contacted me down the road somehow
damn I forgot it's transparent and I could actually send it back without finding the owner lol But still would love to find the owner
BUT don't just send it back because you know you might have won one of those Discord Direct Messages where you win something you didn't even sign up for ;) Make sure it was sent on accident first lol
I did find a large bag of coins on the footpath once. It had fallen from the armoured car guys when going to bank or from bank to armoured car First reaction was to try and give back to bank. They would did not want to open the door as it was after closing. Some one did after a lot of banging. No thank you.
wait for real??? that is crazy
