Assuming you are picked up outside your home and deported you lose possession of
your belongings including your hardware wallet and seed (assuming you dont carry it
with you and assuming the officials havent confiscated it)


I cant figure out how I would survive if I had no contacts left in the country
they deported me to, with possibly no or limited money and no access to my
bank or to my Bitcoin.
I haven’t given this much of a thought given that, I reside in my country of origin more often than not but, assuming I did live in some foreign land, I can’t imagine how devastating this could be.

By the way, is this how deportation actually works? You don’t get the chance to pick up a good number of your important documents even under surveillance?

If that be the case then, the issue isn’t really with the fact that, you might not have your wallet details with you but, something is wrong with the system and should be looked into.

It’s good to have you raise this issue for migrants as it’s indeed something to consider as a Bitcoin investor.
