Yes, I agree, it certain situations, under certain circumstances, it helps. But the parent comment was "Crypto fixes that", as if it universally removes all barriers and obstacles, which it most definitely does not.

I would also pose a question, in the case where you have to leave NOW in order to cross that border -- would you rather have all your money in a bank with accounts currently frozen, or have crypto keys stored physically in an apartment or bank in an active war zone that you are unable to reach and faces a real possibility of being destroyed/bombed/flattened at any moment?

It's an interesting question, and it might depend on what currency the money is denominated in, or what bank. I don't know how I'd manage crypto keys, but it is possible to reduce all your holdings to a 20-word passphrase that you've memorized. So there is the question of whether I've already prepared to bug out. At least for myself, if I fled the country, I don't have any valuable physical property I'd ordinarily take with me when moving, except for a GDM-FW900.

But so does a credit card... or a deposit in a Swiss bank.
