The idea of a parallel society is interesting. I can that being a possibility in the near future.
People would have to learn to barter again because there could be no access to bank accounts or money. I think it’s happened to a few people already that their accounts have been closed for pretty much political reasons.
I also think crypto is probably not feasible in such a situation because as you stated @"Kenzo" a CME could wipe all that out then you have nothing and as @"Ninurta" said they could shut off the electric. They pretty much control the internet so if that sort of thing was up and thriving they could possibly just shut it off thereby cutting off access.
There are people who are seriously stacking gold and silver as those things are believed to be useful in such situations. If you had enough you may be able to be your own bank or at least not have to sell yourself for a bite of bread.
This situation is why I’m trying to learn how to do my own stuff including gardening, making wine and studying herbal remedies.
I do wonder if they’d leave a parallel society alone though as they seem to want power over everything.
