I can think of no place on earth where it would be truly safe. If you have to, a Swiss account? Swiss accounts are not what they used to be. There are better options.

Cash and weapons, diversify. Some for immediate access, the rest distributed among trusted friends and family. Perhaps a remote stash of both on public land w/ coordinates known to only to you and trusted heirs.
Pro burglars and narcs will always find your stash in your home. Design your defenses to thwart the druggies and kids and don't live ostentatiously. Disappear in plain sight.

Plus a couple days on 7 mile beach and beer on the beach at Calico Jack's would be one hell of a way to get away from the Covid/BLM bullshit here in the U.S. Not sure I'd come back to this schithole if I get down there again this summer.

Before the corporations a line of credit in Vegas would have been perfectly safe, confidential an unreported.
I always liked the "Fish Called Wanda" idea. Rough diamonds in an unassuming cheap fish tank with a crummy filter?

Problem with diamonds is that they are all marked way up for retail sale, so you will pay many times what you'd ever be able to get back for them.

2 I Used to be a lot of people would want to pay cash and get a better deal. Haven't had that in a long time though. Cash as payment in a financial transaction is a dying thing. A lot of that went away when the confiscatory tax brackets went away. If you’ve got to give the government 70% of your money, there’s a lot more incentive to do cash than at a 22% tax rate. But, anymore, most people have almost a phobia about cash. Give them $5K in 50’s and watch them freak out. Any how, keeping more than a decent SHTF stash around seems silly to me. But FWIW, my stash is in plain sight. If the house burns, oh, well.

I have all my other savings in all the right places.

Throw it in the safe. Idk. I'm sure people have way more then that locked up. Usually in steel and wood or fiberglass.
But if someone had 60k in guns in their safe. What's another 30k in cash?

I ideal in cash as much as possible. Everything I buy that isn't already public knowledge (utilities, we owe nothing) is paid through a rewards card. One check, one stamp per month. No willing acres to our accounts electronically. Everything else, gas, food, entertainment... is cash.
No reas on to think anyone cares, but i have the smallest footprint possible while living in the modern world. You couldn't find a photo of me online if your life depended on it. Sure I'm in the background of some, but not posing.
Some gold in small pieces, silver... keep some cash. Funny, so many have EOTHWAWKI plans and gold.
In a bad situation, you want cash , but in small demonations. You probably wouldn't be offered change, and flashing hundreds when you need twenties, could be fatal.

Just put the cash in a silicone fire proof bag in the bottom of your fire proof gun safe.

If the time ever comes where you really need it, it won't be worth nearly as much as it is right now, maybe not anything. Turn most of it into something useful.
Put a little in a sealed glass jar, glue it into a pvc pipe and don't forget where it is.

Get some diversion safes. They look like Campbells soup cans, WD40 cans, and chit like that. Or the big ones that are paint cans.complete with labels.

That is what keeps the value of gold down now. The government could just as easy outlaw the ownership and use of silver. Look at your federal reserve notes "legal tender for all debts public and private". You can't require payment in real money, not legal.
Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

The Bible tells of the mark of the beast. No one without the mark will be able to buy and sell. It's not here yet and a lot has to happen before it does, but the mechanism is rapidly being put in place where it can happen. Some kind of chip under the skin or invisible readable tattoo could be used.
