I get this desire to head for the hills and hide out, but in the modern world YOU are the one who suffers, not the state.
They are "winning" in a real sense by limiting your freedom to operate in the world as you desire.
In my opinion a better way is to simply hide in plain sight. Do all of the things that everybody else does, but only minimally. Do nothing to bring attention to yourself.
Then have another economic life in bitcoin beyond their ability or attention span to track.
That could be said too about previous barbarians, who had to make great sacrifices up in their hills. The Amish forfeit a lot of everyday conveniences to preserve their community and prevent assimilation into the greater Anglican-protestant America, too. I don't know if it's worth it. States can be very efficient, and often you're better off being part of the raiders than being raided. But for what?
