I posted up a few polls, please vote in the order before voting the next. Each post is a different scenario but related. Part One Part Two Part Three
Thank you everyone for your votes! I've been most intrigued by the community decision to be criminalized at (29.2%) in the face of adversary, while 45% would flee the country.
The percentage to move to XMR has changed significantly from the first post at 4.3->7.3->12.5% Coinsreporter thinks I'm showing favoritism, So this option has been changed.
Forgetting your seed phrase, whether you are honest or not will not give you a free pass in the eyes of the law. Which makes you a criminal, and government thugs would likely detain you. They want every Satoshi. Peaceful protest is not an option-they've taken it away and put you in jail. The point is to limit your options, not to give you options. Just like ~Personal_Finance forum.
it's seriously dark and government is on its last legs. If you voted to flee the country-you are safe, so you don't need to vote. (Next poll, I have an idea or two for this group after this poll)
The 29.2% who decided to be criminals, and the ones that forgot your seed unless forced by guns, are all criminals. This gets extended to protesters as well, for being a sympathizer.
This is the scenario, All the criminals have been caught, including you. So for our criminals! GoodNews! NeuroLink needs volunteers to test out their chips on humans. The government does a good job to beat you, and have inmates disguised to beat you as well. They want you to starve and feed you rice/bread that is stale. They're not interested in having prisoners, plus it's getting expensive to run a jail and requires some BTC funds. They decide you'll be the Guinea pigs. It's a little buggy and is still in development, but they're only searching for Bitcoin. For our forgetful Bitcoiner, you are first and it trickles down to everyone else.
Note —In case someone asks me why only Bitcoin? Because government thugs are targeting Bitcoin. They're not worried about Solana, Atom, Matic, Fantom, Cardano or Ethereum at the moment because Bitcoin is the setting stage. Miners need to be KYC-why? Because they are hooked onto the power grid and/or it gets really hard to hide hundreds of ASIC mining rigs.
⇾please comment on other potential options/solution other than fleeing and guns. What will you do being corned like this? What can the community do in the face of tyranny when BTC was meant to be a peaceful solution? BTC will be the greatest battle of all time against not just USA but in all countries the world has ever seen. But how can we protect all assets other than remember your key phrases? is multi-seg enough? Because now you have to trust others (and one could say this brings vested interests)
These are your options:

Geez this is some script you got going here, would make for a good survival horror game
The simple answer would be kamikaze/starve and the game ends there, I means whats the real upside of living, a subsistence living and even if it is a good life, you know the cost behind it so would you be okay with that? I think not, if you hold on to values like freedom.
If you're giving off main character energy you'd likely be important to the movement, you're the John Connor of this militia or the very least a Kyle Reese, if bitcoin is getting shut down around the world, I would imagine it trades at some premium to find miners and the social ecosystem that keeps it alive, IE the militia
I guess if enough Bitcoiners can't access their Bitcoin or are dead those that can in the "resistance movement" would have increased resources to protect the network and fund their cause.
At the point like this I think you acquire land, you protect those borders with the threat of violence and you welcome in anyone who wants to join the cause and you grow that little area organically would likely be little communities, but if we want to play up drama seperatist countries could even evolve.
South Sudan the youngest country right now gained independence from Sudan in 2011 really over oil reserves and the demographic difference between the north and the south, so if bitcoin gets to that scale where world governments are trying to shut it down, I think it would get to that point

I DISAGREE WITH DEATH!!! 75% are as good as dead if it came down to rough crackdowns. Let's come up with plans!
