Unlike the other guy I agree with you, on both your sentences. But none of this contradicts what I said. Not using an exchange does mean it's harder to enforce

Unlike the other guy I agree with you, on both your sentences. But none of this contradicts what I said. Not using an exchange does mean it's harder to enforce, especially at scale, but "not getting caught" is not the same as "not committing a crime". And I have no sympathy for all the people e.g. trading crypto and then getting all surprised when they owe capital gains tax. They thought it was "just math" and that "math is law". Turns out math isn't law.
