I'm a bit confused about the legality of crypto payments in Australia. Could you please clarify for me? I've heard different things about it, and I'm not sure what the current situation is. Is it legal to use cryptocurrencies for payments in Australia, and if so, are there any restrictions or regulations that apply? I'm interested in using crypto for some of my transactions, but I want to make sure I'm doing it legally and within the guidelines set by the government. Could you please provide me with some clarity on this matter? Is crypto payment legal in Australia?
