Elliotm57 gets it, the $600 limit covers most small transfers.

Funny how everyone skips the part where your friend now has to explain a random crypto wallet to their local tax people. That compliance headache just got transferred.

The IRS only requires reporting for crypto gifts over $600. Most people never hit that limit with random wallets. It's not the tax apocalypse some are predicting.

Actually depends where your pal lives. Their local rules on crypto gifts might be way stricter than IRS limits. That's the real headache for them.
