But if you already know that bitcoin is not legal in your country and you still try to use it for transactions. Basically, this is not a wise idea even if you have a witness because if you have to participate in a lawsuit, you may not be protected by the law in this case.
Indeed, since lawsuits are based on the law, if theres no law, then theres no imprisonment. For example, if theres no law punishing those who commit murder, then you wouldnt be jailed if you killed someone. Basic explanation.
But I don't understand why we use bitcoin as a payment method when we have more convenient solutions? Especially since bitcoin is not legalized in our country, it's like we're driving ourselves into a dead end. Moreover, isn't it because we always want to protect our privacy that we choose bitcoin as a store of wealth? Why would we use it openly and even make a transaction that is considered illegal? If it were me, I would stay away from this from the start.
We dont know the reason behind the person described in the OP, but one things certain, theyre not aware of the law. However, If the transaction has already been completed, they could ask the seller to transfer the property as a donation. This way, the consideration of the
money (bitcoin) received would no longer be relevant.
