I think that is legal as long as still following the rules.. I think something is legal as long as we doesnt get caught...for example i stole your money its legal until i got caught and its illegal...this is just my opinion..
Exactly, and I think its legal to sell or buy bitcoins on localbitcoins.com as I am using since last 1 year, and I didn't face any issue with it, so at a moment its legal lets see whether it becomes illegal in future or not

Its depending on your location. Generally selling bitcoins is legal, but you mostly have to pay taxes.

If someone were to sell bitcoins on localbitcoins.com in exchange for paypal my cash cards, which were then deposited into paypal. Is that legal as long as any taxable gains received in the transaction are paid? If the amount is under $500 per day and $4000 per month would there be any requirement to know the customer or comply with anti-money laundering laws?
as far as i remember its legal aslong as you dont sell above $1000 a year in the U.S. if you sell more than that its considered money laundering.

LOL)) Following the rules in this case is will be snth like getting the MSB license. But if you are selling let's say 1 bitcoin you've mined and you are doing this one time - I don't think this will be offence. But why not just use coinbase or something like that? Extra $5 you'll maybe earn is not worth the possible trouble

It can violate local lawa, depending on how much u wish to buy or sell. everyone should do a little research of state laws and money regulations. Maybe u just need some paper work to be done and everything would be alright.

but i think it is so clear if a country has not yet regulate a currency and not yet consider a currency as legal then i think no need to study the law for that, it must be illegal to sell or even to buy that currency in local market.

Finding out Localbitcoin traders are making that much per month is alot of money not being assessed for an individuals total annual income. If that is not put down as earned income then that is in fact hiding capital gains from the government. How they will determine how much you owe to them is up to a tax officer to decide if you owe back taxes on that doing it for several years before this year is up.

you have a very wrong opinion, it is illegal if the state consider it illegal and you are engage in illegal activities and that is way the state is going to arrest you. other wise police is not going to arrest a person who i not involve in illegal activities.

yes that is right to say and i think every state will have their own rules and regulation, but i to me as most of the countries have not yes consider bitcoin as a legal currency therefore to me it will be illegal to sell bitcoin on local bitcoins.com.

Many countries do not think the bitcoin is a legal currency, but it is a kind of commodity. So it is still legal.

Depends upon your local laws. If your country/state regulates such transactions or requests you to report such sell/buy transactions, you may want to comply if you want to make everything 'legal'. What you do in your country might be illegal for me in my local jurisdiction and vice versa.

Well yeah, it depends on how much you are trading, if its 5$, noone is really going to be caring, however if amounts are getting bigger, in most european countries they'll ask about it, if you fill in your tax returns.

I think the answer depends on the country where you live in. In my country there is no rule yet for cryptocurrency and transacting bitcoin thru localbitcoin is not prohibited. It was not labeled legal or illegal by the government simply because they are busy with other stuff that they forget about current technology that is trending.
