Easy. Take lump sum & buy bitcoin. How is that even a question?
Not everyone is ready to receive a lump sum like that.
$4,000,000 per month is a lot, she'll learn a lot about saving and investing now, but if she doesn't know anything about that and then get the $1mil... What do you think she'd do with that?
She probably did the most sensible thing for herself.
Not $4000000 per month. $4000 per month. $52000 per year. She gets $1000000 over 20 years, but is taxed on it less than if she accepted it as a lump sum, so she recovers the actual lump sum over a time period of something like 8 to 10 years, but continues recieving it for life. If you work in inflation, it is probably a horse a piece. So, yes, take the lump sum and buy bitcoin.
$4,000 per month is a lot. That was a mistype. My point still stands.
If you know about and are convicted about Bitcoin (which is probably most/all of us on nostr) then yes, lump sum and buy bitcoin, but there's one more thing:
Spend like a poor person, at least for the next 5 years.
Oh, and I did assume $4,000 was after tax.
Lump sum. You could be dead in 10 weeks.
