I did.
You gotta learn to read the thread in order and understand the context before posting. Your posting is all on you.
Your scenario didn't include wartime or 'oh shit' emergency conditions where crypto is useless anyways (you want beans, bullets, or bullion in those scenarios, paper or electronic currencies are all trash at that point). Just vague handwavey "bad govt taking your money" nonsense with a dishonest set up of only 2 options given when you know the real world doesn't work like that.
Its worth pointing out that hundreds of thousands of people fled those respective countries or moved their money out weeks or months prior. I dunno know the numbers at all for Turkey but in Russia enough people left that its actually causing serious issues with their war efforts and is well over several hundred thousands of people left a while ago. Probably around a million or so by now.
The writing was on the figurative wall for a while in each case. The people who got screwed were the ones who weren't being proactive or were too poor to do any saving or prep in the first place. If you're not proactive in most any scenario remotely like that you're screwed by default anyways. Not saying that makes it right, that is just reality.
Sure but none of that has anything to do with your contrived set up and if you're convicted, wrongfully or otherwise, having a stash of crypto won't help you in prison even assuming it doesn't get confiscated immediately.
Public distributed ledger systems aren't very good for secrecy. The few that are actually geared towards a strong anonymity model have near 0 utility for actually buying goods and services (they're almost exclusively use for money laundering) and are pretty difficult to actually use at all unless you're a whale and fairly savy at that. Because the exchanges that use them are also rather prone to stealing the wallets or other scams to skim transfers in and out of them to other currencies.
Basically any which way you look at crypto is a fool's option in a realistic SHTF (or really most any other) scenario.
There is no war in turkey, just a retarded government that decided charging interests is bad. And a couple of years earlier the same government put 2 million teachers and officials with the wrong ties behind bars. Crypto wasn’t that much of a thing back then but it would have helped a lot.
Holding BTC over TRY would have been the better bet Over the past couple of years, and there are a bunch of nations that did even worse than turkey.
Those didn’t confiscate foreign valuta yet.
and no you don’t want to run with gold or jewellery, not declaring those when crossing the border and they get found will make things bad.
waving a guy trough with a little bit of pocket money and some clothes is far more likely to happen than waving a guy trough with a gold bar and a bag of diamonds.
when shit really hits the fan, guys like us are dead. before we reach a border
