Sounds like you have no idea of what you're talking about.

Crypto for cash, peer-to-peer, without an exchange. I personally know lots of people doing it, every single day. No way to map one BTC wallet to an individual. Those unpaid taxes do not exist.

You personally know lots of people violating the law by not paying taxes.

Just because the government doesn't know about the exchange does not relieve the parties of their legal obligations.

Whether or not a person believes they should pay those taxes are immaterial to the fact that they are owed.

I don't condone it, but you could technically kill a person and as long as you don't get caught, you're free to do it.

Kind of a "Don't quote laws to men with swords" situation

Sounds like you didn’t read what I wrote. You can trade crypto P2P blindfolded in underground basements to your heart’s delight, but Uncle Sam will demand his cut eventually once you use that wealth for anything material in the real world.

I bid you best of luck with the IRS. Those unpaid taxes do indeed exist and I’d suggest you talk to a lawyer if what you wrote is what you truly believe.

Sounds like a bunch of nimby a-holes. Sure they can trade their homegrown chicken and moonshine for crypto among each other. What's the big deal?

I don't know. It really comes down to what Alice and Bob agree to in the exchange, that's the beauty of it. Purchasing property using property is kind of pushing it
