Nobody can be 100% prepared for the future. If we are heading towards stagflation the times will be hard.
I can't understand your question. What do you mean by "to secure assets"? Securing assets from what? Theft? Going Bankrupt?
Unfortunately many investors will have to sell their high risks assets(including cryptocurrencies) so there won't be any chance for bullish crypto markets in the short term. I will keep HODLing Bitcoins even if the BTC price drops to 10K USD or below. I might stop accumulating Bitcoins for a while and start buying other assets, like precious metals for example.
I'm a moderate pessimist, but I don't usually trust all the "doom & gloom prophets". Maybe 2023 won't be that bad. Who knows...
