I received some cryptocurrency by accident and I'm wondering if it's okay for me to keep the money. Is it legal to hold on to the crypto that was mistakenly sent to me? Can you keep the money if someone accidentally sends you crypto?

This is due to the decentralized nature of cryptocurrency, where there is no central authority to intervene.
