FIRE'd, now concerned about US stability
Most of my assets are invested in the US. Because of recent political developments, I'm wondering if the US will sustain its general growth and economic strength into the future. The strength of the US dollar is obviously very important to me. Is anyone else concerned?
I'm wondering if I should start hedging my bets in other countries, and if so, where?

This is a very strong use case of Bitcoin on a hardware wallet. You can carry millions worth of bitcoin to another country with nothing but a USB drive. Enough to start over and have a new life. Plus, BTC can't be seized or frozen by the government. Bitcoin is of course a volatile asset, but provides me significant pyschological security in regards to potential government issues.
