That was no criticism. I was just wondering if the situation is different where you are. We both accept that there will be hurdles like that because governments don't give up without a fight, and they can fight really well. It is annoying but a small price to pay. I'm fairly happy that cash and prepaid cards are possible. If taxes go up, we may see more food vendors accepting crypto, but it's years away. For now there's only overpriced honey from a random guy in Portugal. 

The collapse crowd talks about gold all the time, but Lebanon and Argentina show that drugs and ammo are a lot more viable in a dire scenario. Collapse will likely be slow, so best to bet on a currency you can swap for a brick and be the king in your village 😁
