Here's a nice thread on it. The gist being that assets held through a bank, broker, are held by intermediaries who use it for their various shenanigans. You don't have a direct claim to those assets, only a share in the total assets minus liabilities. But the intermediary's creditors have first dibs to everything, so if they were to go under (which doesn't even require the big banks going under) you'd end up with nothing.

It outlines how finance laws have changed in the last couple decades to allow the seizure of your assets, stocks, mortgaged property, etc., as collateral in the event of financial collapse.

I would like to hear more, rural BC could be another option for me, good farmland and low population (currently). Though buying yukon land for when the population does a 10x is probably wise. That or buy a passport for somewhere else, but enclaves within the country seems the way to go.

A few reasons, I'm less interested in "Canada" as a concept now and more interested in other projects. It's a regional instance and most Canadians are tards, which limits users to about 5. Yet it managed to get pretty defederated.
Also the DB has been a mess since forever.

@npub1g0u…3vfw Pushing out digital art maybe. Maybe people will retvrn to physical-only sales or traditional arts, similar to how vinyl has become more popular in the wake of music piracy. Maybe that's a good thing.

@npub1jac…zppv @npub1lm7…nmp3 I'm sure many many people would prefer serfdom over their current situation, since they'd get to actually touch grass (provided they can handle the work).

@npub1lm7…nmp3 Howsabout we give it a few years, and if you're still hopeless you can work my land, you get a house, and I'll find you a wife in exchange for a lifetime of service and loyalty.

@npub1jac…zppv Figures that they're not gonna let any of us get in on the action though. Clever solution to the debt crisis, no foreclosures and they get themselves permanent slaves.

@npub1wmx…v89s Maybe they'll become legally bound to the house, in indentured servitude, in exchange for getting to live in it.

Medieval serfs had land and a wife, why don't you?

@npub1xak…udwf No cheap foreclosures for me, the banks are gonna hog all the good properties to themselves, with lifetime debt-slaves to boot.
