"We'll, i'll just buy gold!" "nope, 1933 coming back again"
At some point you have to draw a line. Stop complying or at least stop complaining.
...like I have done.

Russian Gold Is Hit With De Facto Ban From Key London Market (archive.ph)

about how that isn't a solution. As long as USD has some value they are able steal from the market. You are a part of that market, and so are stolen from in any case. The only way to end the theft is to value USD properly at zero. Two things prevent that. Everyone likes having thier USD paying job and therefore are saying that certain amount of USD is worth more than their time, which if we did value USD properly there would be no amount of money that would be worth 15 minutes of your time, and as long as regular taxes exist everyone needs some amount of USD to pay taxes and it gains value as a stay out of jail token. That's actually the only thing USD is backed by today.
So buying gold certainly helps, but you've still got to get rid of the central bank at some point.
