Idea: Now is a good time to have an "accident" and go off the grid completely. Sort of like all the gold bugs had a boating accident.
“9/11” was the best opportunity for wealthy New Yorkers (or Pentagon insiders) to vanish. No bodies! Any questions would be unpatriotic and offensive to family left behind! Of course, opportunity favours the prepared; and that opportunity happened to favour wealthy,
very shrewd people with overseas assets that may already have inadvertently slipped through the cracks and gotten lost. Whoops! The perfect storm of tragedies! —
Déjà vu: I idly speculated on this with a personal associate, sometime before evening on 2001-09-11.
Neither of us were so foolish as to infer any connection between the people who perpetrated the attack, and anybody who may have conveniently exploited it for their own purposes. Opportunity
does favour the prepared!
As a separate but related issue, if I understand correctly, the Tragic Boating Accident pandemic started with the gun owners. Of course, I expect that
it should be contagious to goldbugs.
Funny memes aside,
of course, I do not think that this would actually work in reality—unless your accident was well-documented, and occurred significantly in advance of any seizures. With firearms, that probably also invokes a problem that you could get in big trouble for being caught currently in possession of an item with a serial number, which
was legal before you proved that you lost it (and from which it is highly illegal to remove the serial number). Gold is more fungible than guns are; and if you store only
some of it in your boat, it may be difficult to tell which part is which. Ammo is also fungible—and also has the ancillary benefit of being consumable. Do you go shooting an awful lot?
I do hear that the plague of tragic boating accidents has made marine wildlife peculiarly dangerous.
PSA: Be careful with the boat that you logically use to store your guns, ammo, gold, and also the only backups of your Bitcoin wallet!* Think of the environment!
* Invokes the problem of blockchain analysis. Be careful.
I
am in a peculiarly poor state of general health (not irrelevant to 20-month absence). And with limited supplies of food and other critical items. Things do not look good.

Damn, this thread moves fast. Edit before posting:I thought the motherfucker was going to zero. Fuck.

I heard stocks are cheap right now. Time to buy TESLA?
Too bad that mindrust had a tragic mental malfunction of the “totally WTF” calibre.
(← Edit after posting: Worthy of its own meme graphic. Hmmm.) The silver lining is that he can report to the Turkish tax/doxing authorities with iron-clad documentation that he sold at the bottom, and now he just does stocks. ;-)
