Is that $9000 figure for a term life insurance policy that becomes worthless after a number of years have passed, or for “whole life insurance” that pays off when you die, regardless of when that happens to be?
Note, though, that you’re talking about costs for people living in the First World. If you live in Sudan, for example, I doubt you can get access to cryonics short of paying for it all upfront in full: after all, who would want to insure someone’s life when they live in such a deadly country.
CI does full body for $30,000, but for a young person the actual payments to a life insurance policy would only be $9000 thanks to compound interest.
Somebody who is already 75 years old wouldn’t get that benefit, but we’re talking about the cheapest possibility, which would be for a young person.

I don’t know, but I suspect the latter, since 9k compounded for 50 years ~ 30k.

You could put the money in a bank account, but $9000 is probably more money than the average Sudanese person earns in a week, so it’s a moot point.
