Making it possible to identify a user is incompetence, exactly because of legal issues like this. You don't run a service that accepts crypto for gift cards and then keep information on file that identifies the buyer personally, that's just stupid. But then again, you don't illegally obtain crypto and then give out your info when you go to use the illegal funds, that's just stupid as well.

Is P2P that big a deal? I swap coins on Bisq all the time. It's super easy to pick up and use if you already have the BTC. The biggest obstacle is obtaining some BTC in the first place when you don't have any yet. Once you have enough for the security deposit, you can buy/sell or swap thousands of dollars in funds at a time.
