You forgot the real answer:You're not, under normal circumstances the only way out is government intervention at this stage (because it literally becomes impossible for private citizens to intervene on this magnitude). There's really only a few ways out of this that is palpable and that's a major stretch:
1) Re-denomination of the currency. Would go as well as you would expect.
2) World War. After all, ruling class debts are forgiven, and will only be only dimly remember after the nightmarish storm is over if you win.
3) Some sort of voodoo black magic where the feds go sacrifice children or something to create an entirely new mechanism that makes no sense to anyone.
4) Something similar to the gold confiscation of FDR. I suspect this may be the most likely.
Edit: What about stock/401K/IRA confiscation?
Life gets more expensive, the crisis is used to justify more laws limiting individuals, companies and banks get free money from the federal reserve.
Money was already fiat, and now that it exists more as lines on someone's account balance than as physical paper, it's easier to fudge than ever.
Thomas Jefferson said:Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
