“What’re you in for?”
“I bought Bitcoin”
Facing up to 2 years in prison for “basic” crypto transactions is ridiculous. It’s like over here in the California, there was a point where they were putting people in prison for having a bit of weed. I’m not a fan of marijuana for myself, but putting stoners in the same place as murderers always seemed like a stretch.

individuals using unauthorized cryptocurrency exchange services face up to two years in prison for basic transactions, extending to three years for "particularly high value" trades above 50 million Hungarian forints (approximately $140,000), and up to five years for transactions exceeding 500 million forints.
