The world doesn't operate with code as law. If somebody steals all the bitcoins in the world then they'll just fork it [1].

A significant amount of bitcoins are held by known entities (exchanges) so it's pretty trivial for institutions to keep their coins after a fork. Those of you self-hosting might have some losses.
