problem is, my friend, is that the future societies will develop superduper gold detectors that will automagically detect gold hidden by greedy hoarders who hide gold in national parks. And what do bureaucracies naturally do with private wealth? TAX IT! So, your hidden gold will be discovered and taxed every year cumulatively with interest owing while you are in cryopreservation. Now, as for myself, I am going into the dewar without a penny because I know that the advanced bureaucracies of the future will care for me.....using taxes assessed over many decade on your hidden gold. When you are revived you will owe taxes in the billions, whereas I will owe nothing, but will be owed a living from the state, which will be funded by the back taxes you will be owing to the state. Actually, your hoarded gold will be worthless because of future superduper transmutational alchemy techniques that make gold plentiful and therefore worthless. But because you will still owe billions in taxes from the pre-alchemy future, you will be required to work till eternity to pay your taxes. I however will owe nothing and have nothing except a government check from your taxes. So I will be sitting back on the beach singing old Elvis songs for all eternity collecting welfare whilst you work for eternity to pay for my post-revival, welfare-queen future.
Suh-weet!
