Going digital is the next step here. Death of the Fiat.
The liberals will follow blindly.
"Don't touch that dirty money."

Gold and silver in hand is better than 1s and 0s in a bank when it come to protection from tyranny.

They are literally making the case for crypto at this point. This is why we should not hand over control of our lives or finances to the government. They are making the case for privacy.

Ignorance here...

Crypto is not really all that safe either, they can seize that as well or just shut down the internet

That's fine too. I've always wanted to carry around a satchel of gold like a pirate.

Not if you have a physical wallet. They would need to seize the device and you can pay locally without internet if you have a physical wallet.

Couldn't this potentially start a bank run if everyone panics their accounts will be frozen and preemptively start liquidating them? What if 500,000 people in Canada all do this over the next 1-3 day? If I was there I would.

Anyone who still trusts big government is out of their minds.

Yep. It’s already the next boogeyman that’s something g has to be done about because criminals are using it. Gun owners are included in that.

Bank accounts were frozen, and wiped clean, in the 30s. This was after the banks were handing out loans and mortgages like candy.
Before that, influenza "swept" the nation. Masks were required, businesses closed, and the non compliant were arrested.
Sound familiar?
The Olympics of the times were held in Germany.
War was looming.
Sound familiar?

A population is controlled and subdued with fear and starvation.
What lies ahead?

Tridont’s a real asshole. It’s amazing how fast the politicians true colors are showing. I’m growing more impatient of this every day. I used to talk about retiring to a free state now I’m talking of retiring to another country where I can just be left alone.

IMO there are no other better countries to go to.

You're best bet is moving to a solid free state and trying to surround yourself with others who view things the same as yourself.

As someone else stated in this thread the only reason this isn't happening here is we have the 2a. No other country has that and their governments can do as they please against their people.

Switzerland? They managed well during WWII but how long can they remain neutral in a world turning to shit.
We have some Canadian brothers who are not afraid to stand without weapons.
We are running out of time. More evil will happen.

They can only seize it if they can seize the wallet file -or- if you are stupid and let a third party manage that for you then they can get it from them. Don't be stupid, hold onto your wallet files yourself.

As for shutting down the Internet, that's not happening. 90% of America is face down in their phone all day long, they shut that down and they lose control.

I agree on a freedom standpoint but I don’t agree on a bothersome or cost standpoint. We went to the countryside of France and we loved it. I know France isn’t a free country, but it’s not my country I don’t care what happens there. If you’re not working it’s a cheap place to live and the weather never freezes where we were. You can go to the sea and get a lot of mussels, clams, crabs, oysters, and fish to eat, it’s beautiful and outside of Paris I saw zero authorities. Not a single cop anywhere.
I would buy a little farm and just want to be left alone. We stayed in an air B&B and it didn’t even have an address. We found it by GPS location. There are roads that look like driveways. Out that far there is no crime. I’d try to be a citizen so I could own a shotgun for hunting and what not, but maybe not even bother.
Also keep in mind this is only if things get bad here as in we lose our gun rights. At that point there’s no point to fight for the USA so I might as well go live somewhere I don’t care about. I will only care about my couple acres and that’s it.
Our plan right now is to retire to the mountains of Tennessee, but that’s fluid since I have 21 years left to work. I may end up just staying here and living in the country, but my wife has some medical issues so we can’t be too far out.

so any bank president can freeze your account, if they don't like you? Just say "He/she is protestor. MONEY IS GONE.

time to withdraw all your money and pay cash, get paid and run to the bank and with draw cash

actually, any protestor should run out and empty their bank account, when 30 million people with draw their money, the banks will collapse, LOL

I agree, but I’d need a bigger safe first. I’m about at capacity anyway with guns and ammo. I need more room as it is, but safes aren’t fun. I’m going to do a family safe for my sons coin collection, their little bit of money, and my wife’s little bit of money. My son is 18 now and has the right to access my guns now. Also he has a bit of money stashed and will start working soon. The three of them can have their own and I’ll have one all to myself.
Also don’t think it won’t happen here pretty easily as well.

Again, I speak of ignorance on all of this "fake" money.

What stores are going to take it for payment? Which contractors will take this as payment? Can I buy gas for my truck with it?

It really is as fake as the little paper rectangles in our wallets.

Look how much more worthless it has become in the last 2 years with the "Great reset."

The only value it holds is independence from gov controlled income. They can't completely control it now without our currency being digital. In whatever form.

Don't count on that helping. They will outlaw that again faster than you can say FDR.

They can seize the crypto anytime they want.

Crypto is a distributed ledger. They can just get a court order to sieze those entries. They can't transfer it without the wallet, but they can announce that they will seize it from whoever they find in possession of those coins effectively making it worthless.

Are you going to accept "contraband" coins as payment, knowing they can be seized at any time ?

All the bullion fans here... What inherent value do gold or silver have in a real crisis? Basically none. It's heavy, inert metal you can make pretty things out of. It's basically just an ancient version of fiat currency. If things are really so bad that the average person can't pay for a can of beans, what makes you think anyone will miss a meal for your gold coin? In a situation like the collapse of modern currency, we'll be back to bartering and fighting. For either bartering or fighting, brass and lead are far more useful than gold and silver.

true with this and true with crypto as well. Supplies, guns, and ammo is where it’s at.
