Good day, I'm curious about a legal matter regarding
cryptocurrency and finance. I recently stumbled upon some digital assets, or you might call them 'treasure,' and I'm wondering if I have the right to keep it. Do the same laws that apply to finding physical treasure, such as treasure trove, also extend to the digital realm? What are the legal implications of keeping or returning such digital assets? I'm seeking clarity on this matter and would appreciate any guidance you can provide.

The discussion revolves around the ethical and practical considerations of an object found by chance. On one hand, there is an argument that the object should be returned to its rightful owner or finder, without the need for retention.

Conversely, proponents of preserving the object for a museum believe that it holds significant historical or cultural value, which should be shared with the public.

The decision to return or retain the object is often influenced by the value it holds. If the object is deemed to be of great monetary or sentimental worth, the finder may be entitled to a reward.

However, the reward amount can be contentious, as it may not always reflect the true value of the object or the efforts of the finder.
