If you're revived 1 year after death the people you care about are probably still around, you probably have useful job skills, you may be able to recover some of your old property, etc.
I understand that. But what you are losing is the chance of being reborn, ahem, in a better place.
It's an interesting choice, driven, I assume, by risk aversion and desire for novelty. Probably different people will choose differently.
Not necessarily: Once it's proven that Cryonics works and people can be revived presumably if you can afford it you can just request to be refrozen and then woken up at a later date.
This may lead to its own problems
How much use is a better place to you if you can't understand it? I'd rather live through the intervening years so I can grow into the better future.
