Hm... Do these "edge cases" include getting scammed for example?

Being scammed is just another word for fraud, which is a type of theft. The scammer essentially entered into a contract in bad faith, which nullifies the validity of the contract in the first place.

Probably not. Maybe if someone robs you of your bitcoin by force, but I don't think we're a the point where you have much legal recourse in either case.

Practice has proven that today scamming someone is easier and more profitable than using force. This is amplified by the fact that almost no victim believes in advance that is vulnerable to scams. But nevertheless you have legal recource should you know who the offender is. The offender can be sentenced to return the money at least and made to do so by using the state's violence apparatus actually.
