Hand to mouth atm. Thought about monero and a trezor for this very reason but seems to me that unless you have enough money coming in that the government cannot restrict, you're in a catch-22. Not enough businesses accept crypto and once you actually buy something using it, your cover is blown automatically.
So it's easy to say you can hold private digital money in your hand. It's not so easy to spend it for everyday goods and services. This is like holding a private conversation by cell. Won't actually work unless everyone is doing it. Sure you and your buddy can encrypt a call but unless everyone is doing it it won't matter at all. In fact, better than digital money would be to take back our communications and make those private by default. THIS is the real problem. Money is the symptom of the communication crisis. You should check out dollar vigilante. He has an $11,000 donation only lightbulb-in-a-toolbox that he says works great too.
What you say is logical but in practice isn't. Not without securing comms 1st and foremost.
