It would be much less painful to harness time-dilation to pass the time lol. Futurama did a spoof where Fry discovered his $0.10 in the bank compounded for 1,000 years made him among the wealthiest people in the year 3,000. Of course if I was revived somehow in the future, I'd rather reclaim my wealth like "That Guy": sleazin my way to the top.. 80's style. *We can dance, we can dance! Dun dun dah dah, dun dun, dun dah dah!*. For me, I'm young enough that I hope to be able to finance an indefinite life expectancy due to technological and medical progress. The Law of Accelerating Returns works for more than just computer speed... Inheritting your own compounded wealth is a cool concept.

They'll be able to track environmental hazards by comparing current levels of such things as toxic chemicals in tissue with what it was at the time the corpse was frozen. Admittedly not the future the corpsicle was hoping for. Talk about passive investors…Corpses being frozen will provide subjects for scientists in the future.
