One relatively easy and low-cost idea: buy some physical Bitcoin and/or gold, hide them somewhere, and hedge them with short positions (in Bitcoin futures and/or gold ETFs) if you don’t want to be too exposed to their price movements. It’s probably a good idea to have some exposure to them anyway as a hedge against inflation. And in case it’s not clear, physical Bitcoin means on a hardware wallet that you can easily hide and carry with you when you need to move.
It would be surprising to me if gold was useful. The things you most want are presumably travel (flight/car/fuel for your car), and those things generally seem to be sold by large corporations which don’t accept gold.
I guess in theory if you have some gold and your assets get frozen but your neighbors assets are still liquid, you could sell them gold in exchange for cash (or crypto)? But I’m not sure if you can even buy plane tickets with cash these days. You can definitely use cash for buying gas though I guess.
