100 sats \ 3 replies \ @aljaz 4 Sep \ on: Do you have a plan C? bitcoin
Having skills to adapt to any situation is more likely to get you out of a tight spot than a second passport. But its very useful to have both.
I always like to suggest this book - Emergency by Neil Strauss to people as it has some interesting insights. Tim Ferris published some bits of it on his blog.
Skills over things is usually the best bet, but if you can have both. Having the ability to find someone to smuggle you out of the country when everything locks down or having pieces of paper saying you must be allowed to leave accomplishes the same thing in the end.
There is one thing that people frequently forget which mostly comes before all of this - be in good health and good shape as most of your plans will fall apart without that.
Absolutely! I did have the second passport plan going, but now you need 2-3 since we can't trust any state after all that has happened...
So at least until Bitcoin reaches a million I'll have to be as flexible, frugal and adaptable as possible :-)

i think there is a lot of us waiting for similar things ;)
tho one thing that people miss is that yes, passport is the best, but having residency in multiple countries is already a good step towards more freedom of movement as that tends to mean that you can always go to that country.
The other side of it is that you can optimize in the other direction, the cost of 2-3 passports buys you a lot of land in the middle of nowhere, maybe instead of disappearing out of a country you can disappear inside one.

Yep, and its not hard to imagine an environment where disappearing is the smartest, residing without residency...
The past years I've gotten by using cash, selling gold I loaded up in 2020, and leaving close to no traces within the Digital Gulags ;-)
These days I will probably have to ramp things up & get some fiat income going, but also I will avoid that if at all humanly possible!
Which is where any tiny amount in sats comes into the picture :-)
