I'm located in the US and I see people selling bitcoin and craigslist and ebay all the time.  Like everyone has been saying, as long as you give Uncle Sam his fair share it's legal.  For now anyway...

I am wondering: Is it difficult to convert your Bitcoin to cash where you are right now? By the way, are you required to pay some tax for the capital gains? Huh Huh Huh Huh

Yeah, Im curious too. Because in our country we can withdraw it without any task. Just a transaction fees and we can withdraw it to our local currency. Maybe in their country there is still no company that convert bitcoin into cash that is why he's asking that.

Depends On Your Country
If Your Country Stated Green/Yellow At Bitlegal.io
Its Legal

My government just forbid Bitcoin as legal transaction so we can't purchase anything with Bitcoin but we still able to own it.
Selling BTC for cash is legit as it not break any law and I've done it over 3 years without being fear to get caught by police

What is the status on the legality of bitcoin and crytpocurrency in your country? In my country, it is perfectly fine to do so. A local exchange wallet allows us bitcoin users to easily have our bitcoins exchanged into our local currency, and we may retrieve this through remittances or have it transferred directly to our bank accounts. I don't see anything wrong with selling your bitcoins for cash, unless the mere possession of bitcoin is considered to be illegal in your country.

Correct. Check the legality in your country whether it allows any Bitcoin transactions, like trading, or bans it in any form. Take note, in some countries they banned only the ICOs. Meaning, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that were offered are perfectly legal.

But if you have big amount of Bitcoins to sell, then you must take note that even though the transaction will be anonymous, your money will go somewhere that may alarm the government on when you got the money you are suddenly spending. My point is, if it is too big, pay tax. Personal income tax is filed and paid once in a year, the the case of my country. This will help you avoid unnecessary issues from the government and also big penalties to pay.

Yes it is. Just be aware of the taxes that come with it. Also take care of accounting before you start doing it.

In what country do you live? I have read some news about people somewhere on a state in the US that did trade with localbitcoins and traded personally a customer. He was filed a complaint regarding since their city does have a law regarding bitcoin that it is illegal. Good to know that you asked it first before doing some deal and what you can do is to know about the ruling on your country and their stand about bitcoin. If you found no rules about it, you're fine.

It's very legal here in us so you might need to check if your country allows it or not. Now after that, if you are very positive that there's none then go ahead and sell it to someone who accepts it.

It's legal, but the government thinks otherwise. There's nothing they can show you. Transaction for cash generally difficult to control. I think that people very much focus on the fact that thinks about bitcoin state. It is our choice and we must be guided by their interests. A time when our interests was sponsored by the state ended.

As long as you are declaring what you are earning there should not be a problem especially in the UK/USA

You need to tell us where you're from. Legality and regulations differ from country to country.

Another thing you can take into account is as long as it isn't illegal, it's alright. The less regulations the government has placed, the better for you. But if the authorities have already mandated a regulatory model, you have to follow it. In most countries, it is allowed through an exchange platform so they may be able to keep track of the money being circulated by digital currencies. A basic AML-KYC system.

It is legal as long as you pay all the exchange fees and taxes from your profit. What kind of taxes you have to pay - depends on the country you live in Smiley

This is actually depends on the regulation of the country. In my country, Philippines, the regulation is not strict and the government even stated that they want to support Bitcoin as they see at as a contribution in the development of the economy of the country. However, in countries like China, the regulations are now strict. If I am not mistake, any cryptocurrency transactions is now prohibited by the government.

It depends on the rules and regulations of your country. If you live in a country where using Bitcoin itself is forbidden them i assume it would also be illegal to sell them or turn them into fiat, but if you live somewhere where it is totally fine to use Bitcoin then for sure you can sell them as well and no one would ask you anything about it. In my country, i sell my bitcoins without any hesitation as there hasn't been any rule implemented about Bitcoin and we are not forbidden to use it.
I sell them on Localbitcoins.com and receive the money in a bank account of my desire.

For example : I can still use bitcoin and convert them into fiat without fear being caught by police but my government already state that they forbid bitcoin as daily transaction

So selling bitcoin is not illegal ! ( at my country )

Yup it is legal for as long as you are not transacting any illegal stuff related to it. I also think that there are some wallets out there that support this kind of transaction, by making your bitcoins withdrawal for cash in an ATM machine provided by a specific bank (this is highly dependent on the wallet that you are using). Also, you must take note that selling your bitcoins to cash involves a trade which is very risky when done in the internet. I highly suggest that you meet-up with your trader in order to avoid any loses and regrets.

But legality issues about selling Bitcoin for cash totally depend upon the state where you live. If the government has no objections against Bitcoin and its transaction then you are to do so. Also the amount is very small and it won’t be any problem if you trade from a proper exchange but the main issue that you need to see here is the weather it is legal or illegal.
