Which would you pick?
Leaving your country means you give up citizenship and can’t ever return, and leaving Bitcoin means you give up any Bitcoin you hold and can’t acquire any more.

What Bitcoin? I don't own any Bitcoin, mein fuhrer
reply
If I had to leave my bitcoin to keep my country, it means my country is already gone.

Tough one. I'd say leave bitcoin, but the very existence of the dilemma means my country is no longer my country since it no longer respects individual rights, so I guess I'd have to take the money and go, hoping that I can take as many of my close family and friends as possible. It wouldn't be an easy decision.
Unless... this dilemma is forced upon me in a manner that is entirely exogenous to my relationship with my country, i.e. you put a gun to my head and make me choose. Then I might have to give up the bitcoin.

That's how I feel. It's hard to do this on a ceterus parabus baseline.

I already left my country - was an easy decision. There are many friendly and free jurisdictions in which to spend your sats, that won't tax your gainz, or force you to have bankster repationships to eat in restaurants.

Tough to say not knowing the circumstances and time frame. I mean I probably wouldn't uproot my children to move to El Salvador but I probably would move to the US if Canada went full autocratic, I have already considered this.
The biggest stumbling block might not be moving my family (provided I can move to a jurisdiction I find suitable for my family) but the fact that I would not be able to return to see my parents or my kids see them in their twilight years. That's a tough sell. I would need more information and context on the state of the world at that time before I would commit to either option.

Leave the country with my bitcoin. That's what it's for after all!

Really need more info. Such a big decision would not be made on anything but a comprehensive analysis. Might be interesting to put as a question at the end of a couple page story.

False dichotomy.

My country cannot confiscate my bitcoin
