no

you only know a key

Being technically correct is the best kind of correct!

Semisol is not just technically correct. If your bitcoin is KYC, you don’t own it

Yeah, just had someone accidentally write to a new set of keys.

Ownership is just a social construction.

Social constructions can be important.

Very small kids have a really hard time understanding ownership / sharing / borrowing. When they want something, they just want it, and cry if they can't have it or it gets taken away from them.

So, if you're the only one with keys to bitcoin, you own that bitcoin. Nobody else can feasably own that bitcoin without getting the key from you.
