Ok... You have good instincts my man. You are correct. I do everything I can to NOT engage with the banking system any more than I have to. That said we are not at the point of collapse. ... Yet.
We will get to that inflection point though and if you are not ready all your wealth will be gone and you will be forced to enter their system or die.
My thoughts are to have things that are hard to take. Land with no debt is hard to take. Houses are easy to take as they have a larger theoretical attack surface. Physical Paper money is hard to take but WILL devalue. It is always being take and that will accelerate
Metals, properly acquired are hard to take but almost impossible to transport in secret and of only minimum usefulness in this world. They can't be spent without converting them to fiat. They cannot be transported without enormous risk of confiscation.
Paper cash in quantities over just a few thousand will be confiscated easily and legally by authorities under Civil Asset Forfeiture. You will not get it back. If you empty your bank accounts for cash you will be robbed by the cops and charged with crimes if you try to get it back.
You can get into some of the fundamental theories of property ownership by reading the 4th, 10th and getting a copy of Black's Law Dictionary, first edition, and looking up Allodial (Title). Holding property in allodium is the goal you seek.
So in this world what property can be held in ABSOLUTE AND COMPLETE ALLODIUM, is transferable, portable, can be moved in secret in any quantity and cannot be taken?
Not gold, not land, not guns, not .22lr, not dirty paper.
The thing exists. It is widely used. Because of the features I stayed above it will be the last asset standing in the hands of those who took the time to learn to manage it properly.
It will be the only option other than CBDC slavery.
Thank you that was very insightful
