Where I live there are plenty of obstacles to invest in real, non-inflationary things but selling specie is actually not a problem, there is a decent market for it and you sell and buy it anonymously up to a certain fiat value per day - so there's no limit if you have enough time and small enough denominations like ounces of silver or maybe half or quarter ounces of gold. Buying bitcoin without KYC is essentially impossible except from private contacts which I certainly don't have so a quick trip over the border is necessary for that. The only good thing the EUSSR ever did was to enable crossing borders relatively unmolested so people, like smugglers and criminals, take wads of cash across borders to use foreign ATM limits of buying BTC anonymously. Thank you, President Nixon and everyone who messed up before him, we didn't want that gold standard anyway.
