110 sats \ 4 replies \ @2big2fail 19 Jan 2023 \ on: Easy guide to KYC-free sats --- How to buy bitcoin privately using Bisq in 2023 bitcoin
one thing never discussed is "selling kyc sats"
i personally love to buy KYC sats but would never ever sell any meaningful sats KYC free with fear that my counterparty is a fed
who are these brave soles willing to engage in such risky business of selling KYC free
Selling BTC for cash with a peer is the same as selling a bushel of wheat for cash with a peer. Not illegal. If you don't report the profits - the IRS will come and knock at your door. But - Peer to Peer exchange of goods is common and impossible to make illegal.

I heard a lot of people saying their bank accounts (specially Revolut) froze their accounts because they were selling P2P bitcoin/crypto. It's a big risk if true.

I need to ask: leaving aside the highly unlikely chance that you will have a fed as a counterparty in a regular P2P trade, how would that be a problem? As far as my knowledge goes, there is no law in the US preventing two poor souls from exchanging BTC and $ freely, is there?
I understand the IRS will be after you if you don't pay your taxes on it, but isn't the P2P trade itself a completely innocent event in legal terms?
