Not really. I have a couple silver coins. The point about paying with physical cash isn't that it's resistant to inflation, rather that it enables the small business you're buying from to choose to not report that sale to the government. "Cash transaction," just like how you don't tell the IRS about when you sell your old computer on Craigslist for $1000. When everyone uses cards, everyone pays the maximum taxes.
When the USA was a free country, tyranny was limited because the US could take the moral high ground and stand up for freedom.
Now there is no limit to tyranny.
The virus was just a test run.
There is no limit to tyranny now because no one will call out abuses and there is no place to escape to.
