i keep a pile of paper currency in my house because if there's a revolution overthrowing the current regime i will obviously be able to use the paper currency from a defunct state to move internationally.

like wtf. no chance. if you're a rich asshole in a corrupt country and you're worried about the people rising up to take your shit, you have an overseas account in some other consistently traded/stable currency. and you keep a bunch of jewelry to bribe your way out. because all of that can be explained away as a travel account and like family heirlooms or some shit.

nobody with a shitload of cash in their house is doing anything but hiding it and using it for illegal shit, which they are also hiding.
