  As an expert in the field of cryptocurrency, I can tell you that the maximum amount of cryptocurrency you can give to a friend without incurring taxes varies depending on the country you reside in. In the United States, for example, the IRS considers cryptocurrency to be property, and any gifts of property valued at more than $15,000 in a calendar year are subject to gift tax. However, there is an annual gift tax exclusion of $15,000 per recipient, which means you can give up to $15,000 worth of cryptocurrency to a friend without incurring any tax liabilities. It's important to consult with a tax professional to understand the specific regulations in your country.
