It's 2013. Let's say you were economically literate, had a significant pot of money to protect, and were concerned about the direction the country was taking.

What would have been the best way to protect that pot of money, and how hard would it have been to do it?

The best way to protect the money would have been to buy US dollars on the black market.

Another way would have been to buy a car, motorcycle, alcohol, etc. Anything that preserves it's value over time. The worst thing would be to have it on the bank.
