You could drive a truck through the excluded middle of those choices.
I'm as big of an advocate for voting with your feet as anyone, but there are so many other differences between the US and El Salvador. Within the US there are big differences in how states protect Bitcoin, so there may be good options that aren't as personally disruptive.
Why isn't staying and not complying one of the options? People are illegally using Bitcoin all over the world. Americans can follow their lead, if it comes to that.
Moving to friendly states is even a smarter move to because you can still work on your domain and have a relatively stable income, that's in my opinion I could be wrong

I moved to a less insane state. It's a lot easier and acceptable to family than switching countries would be. And life really is better, people are much more sociable, and the recovery from the covid lockdowns started happening much sooner.
My only regret is that I didn't move years ago. It's really a frog boiling thing, you don't realize how bad it is, because it happens so slowly.

True it's good to move, I moved 5 years ago my problem was the city was getting way to crazy expwnsive and way too woke

I've been encouraging Americans to move to better states for a long time. There's enormous geographical variance in cost of living, taxes, weather, and everything else.

That's a great point

I do agree with the general sentiment that people should think more about where they live. There are huge potential gains from moving to a more suitable jurisdiction.
reply
Good point, specially if you have a Bitcoin business and you are looking for stability. Is that right?
reply
I don't think there's anything special about Bitcoin, in this context. All kinds of lifestyle choices are more or less suitable in different places.
