Don Laughlin,
the 81-year-old billionaire and founder of the Riverside Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, is also placing his bets on cryogenics for everlasting life. He is a future customer of Alcor, a Cryonics preservation facility is based in Scottsdale, Ariz. Upon death, his body will be cryo-preserved at minus 360 degrees following his death until he can be revived and cured of any health problems. He plans to take his money with him: His assets would also be frozen.

Ha. What the point to live forever if noone knows what they live for?

By that reasoning you should shoot yourself in the face.

I'm too lazy. I just wait for 60-70 years.

Indeed, investing some millions in bitcoin would be a good idea for him! Well, it is for everyone, but especially if you plan to wake up after some centuries

[Amitabh S]

1 BTC should be enough to get him through when he wakes up.

[Come-from-Beyond]

He should buy 1 BTE either. Just in case.

Given the importance of merkle trees etc in Bitcoin and the fact that Ralph Merkle is a Board member at Alcor it is a wonder that there is not more cross pollination between the bitcoin community and Alcor.  Both groups are looking to the future and are firm believers in the probable advances in technology so it would seem natural to at least see common interests and potentially some mutually beneficial relationships.

Wonder how he will freeze the rest of his assets Gold?

The government gets like 40% of your money when you die.

Dumping 1M into bitcoin, wake up in 95 years, have 150 trillion?

... Or wake up with nothing. Don't forget that possibility.

He's going to wake up with nothing anyways due to inflation taking all the value out of his billion.  Seriously, I don't know what asset would be safe enough to put a large amount of money in for a century...

Some people can't seem to be able to accept death.

Others can't seem to be able to accept life.     Or at least the possibility of extending it.

Using BTC as part of his asset investing plan would be a smart move.  And then let a trustee invest the rest of his money in things that are low-cost, long-term growth. 

Even if the chance of revival with his plan is 1% (or even 0.001%) it is greater than zero.

I am wondering how he is going to diversify between brainwallet and paperwallets. BTW for one hundred years I would not be so sure investing into gold either, given all the asteroid mining plans. A portfolio of blue chip shares does not sound as too bad investment however.

If paper wallets are involved, grave robbing could get some new meaning here. Also imagine waking up having 1% of planet's money in your brainwallet and having amnesia... Someone needs to shoot a movie about this or something.

No, not really. It's just kind of absurd when people try to become immortal as God.

I would put all of my money into Justin Bieber's record company. There is no stopping the Biebs.

What's the most valuable thing to humans, that will always be of value even in a post-apocalyptic world? Farmers. We all need to eat, and always. So what he should do, is buy farms, and freeze them too. Isn't it perfect?

[webcoinx]

now now...

what if he buys all BTC...

what will happen to us? lol

Price increases and our bitcoins will be worth even more. Is that bad?
