At some point, the cost of thawing gets low enough compared to keeping frozen
Keeping people frozen is cheap: you just need to top up the liquid nitrogen once in a while to compensate for evaporation; and I guess that as they make better and better dewars and better and better technology for liquefying nitrogen, the storage prices per year will fall even more.
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.
