OR: 1) You are a prostitute where prostitution is illegal. 2) I pay you for sex in an unrecognized currency (bitcoin, for example). 3) I am an undercover cop. 4) We go to the supreme court over whether or not we conducted a "transaction" or an "exchange" because one is an A felony and the other is a C felony. For the longest time, possession of marijuana was legal in Alaska but sales were illegal. What's a "sale?" There's a big legal difference between "pay" and "trade for" and that, right there, is one of the sticky wickets of unregulated currency.
