My running thesis is being verified at every step. In the next phase they only let you have BTC with one of their approved custodians. It's effectively EO6102 in a different dress. Then comes CBDC where its impossible to operate in black market / parallel economy without getting nabbed by the AI gestapo. What's your solution? Side pot till it runs out? Second passport? Off shore and pay the piper to repatriate? Or just keep on meme-ing aka virtual picketing?

Keep non-KYC stack, but indeed I'm afraid they can trace even the past P2P buys, if paid digitally, unless cash was used.
Hope P2P markets and cash will still be available.
Second passport.
Low profile.
Perhaps some gold bars in small denominations. Or silver coins.
Fiat savings, cash and in the bank, incl. some assets that may protect from inflation.
Have the KYC stack, too. This is the official and taxed one. If they go after it, boating accident, or surrender.
Not that I have these things, just learning about this now, thinking aloud. Looks like we have similar worries.
If it comes to the really worst dystopia, I think the key thing will be an option to leave. But if they close the borders, even that may be gone.
I hope I'm unnecessarily worried and things will be ok. But better at least think about some options I guess.
Making some progress on the Meshtastic network which could securely facilitate a black market economy off the main net and mainstream hardware.
