Exponential economic growth can't continue forever, which would suggest that the interest rate will fall arbitrarily low, so the cost of keeping someone frozen forever will increase.

But yeah, I think significantly underestimated the time until it would be worth while.

Come to think of it, there might be a point where it's cheaper to wake you and then put you in debt for a while, but that's a legal and ethical tricky area unless the user signs a contract before-hand.

Edit:

I should probably practice being a bit more straightforward with admitting errors.

You are right. I was wrong.
