Great question. I was talking about this with a friend. She was affected intimately by the riots in 2020 and described this as a maddening thought-loop: should we abandon ship, and let all our shit get destroyed, or should we stick it out in hopes that conditions improve?
So hard to know when it's time. Often obvious in retrospect, but in the moment it's impossible.
And how do you ensure that you aren't jumping from one authoritarian hellscape to another? Is there a realistic scenario in which encroaching CBDC enslavement doesn't affect a particular region of the world?
That's the rub, right there.
