Is it illegal to transfer value from person A to person B without the middleman?

• alisonkisk 6y ago
  In many cases, yes. It's not the "middleman" that is required, but reporting the transaction to the government is.

    If avoiding reporting a transaction is the goal does committing the transaction to a public blockchain really bypass this? All activity is pseudonymous and in the clear.

    Consider these cash examples: A parent gives his child 5 USD to buy some sweets in the local shop. A couple gives another couple 150 USD as a wedding gift. A painter gets 200 USD for painting a house.
