So what would be the best strategy for a citizen to profit from this looming scenario? Asking in good faith. What is your strategy to get the most out of it? What can I do to take home as much as possible?

Tangible assets will survive the transition to the next monetary system as they can be revalued. Government debt will go to zero. I'm not sure that this is a get rich opportunity, rather a try-not-to-lose-your-life-savings event.

Assuming “the next monetary system” retains the same property system, whhich it might, or might not, and assuming not only that the basic system is the same but that there isn’t a one-time compulsory change of ownership of the assets in question, which is also possible.

Of course, the idea that the US Government is seeking WWIII to prevent the reinstallation of the previous President and install a new global financial system under the IMF and UN is, well, beyond ridiculous, but if I was insane enough to believe such a paranoid fever dream, I wouldn’t also believe that the new system being imposed would both retain the existing system and specific assignment of property rights. That’s just a weirdly calibrated level of trust in the government that the scenario is otherwise so paranoid about.

It would be more like a return to feudalism, which was the system in place before capitalism. The barter system becomes relevant again.

If it is not a get rich opportunity there would be no incentive to push for it.
