Agreed. I think they're following the Agentina model rather than the Zimbabwe model. In the former case, citizens were coverting their currency to USD. They shut down the Argentine banks, allowing $300 a month max withdrawal for 6 mos or a year, I forget. When it was done, Argentine currency had devalued by nearly 70%. Some variation of that will be the playbook. Hint: have some gold on hand (20 oz of physical stuff sounds nice) and cash.
