It sounds like you're familiar with the history of fiat currencies and the nature of the money supply, and agree that we should have concerns about the long-term value of cash—especially knowing that all fiat currencies in recorded history eventually lose their value as a medium of exchange.
It sounds like you've already taken steps to diversify with hard assets, which is a wise approach to preserving wealth. That said, I’m genuinely curious: if the U.S. dollar (FRNs) were to lose all value tomorrow, what would you rely on as a medium of exchange?

I understand your perspective.
In my case, I have been involved for several years now, and as far as I can tell, nobody that you could be worried about cares.
I just got my passport renewed and I checked every box NO that asked if I or my relatives were U.S. Citizens - not a problem.
This process takes time. Over 160 years of fraud cannot be erased quickly. The benefits of the return of the Federation will take several years, but there are many rolling out this year.
Your observation is what is called 'anecdotal'.
The inflation report is based on the CPI, Consumer Price Index, which is the average rate of price changes of consumer prices over a period of time.
They reported that the CPI was positive. This means that even though some prices may have dropped, most prices have gone up.
Any positive CPI is bad and cumulative.
Eggs used to $0.99 a dozen. Gas used to be $.025 gallon.
Current prices are reflective of decades of positive CPI.
I would only celebrate sharply negative CPI, anything else is like saying 'our food supply has less poison this year than it had last year'.
