Yeah I sold all of my gold when it clicked that Bitcoin is the reserve asset, vault, and monetary network in one. When I had gold, it got to the point that I had to use third party vaults. Given jurisdiction risk, I used several around the globe. If I wanted to spend it, I had to convert to fiat and use fiat rails or keep some with a service like Glint that does that automatically. They could also freeze my accounts, etc. I never really escaped that way. It was fiat with extra steps. Bitcoin is a lot easier to escape with, although still imperfect. But it is possible.
