Thanks for the reply. As you said, a nice, round $1 million would be more than enough for most people in most countries. I believe the "classic" 21 BTC is a good amount to have, which makes the above goal almost a certainty. As for me, my stash has increased since that post of mine that you've quoted, but still in double digits (*), so I guess I still have some way to go before I can consider myself financially independent, whatever that may mean to each one of us. I can safely say, however, that if when BTC/USD reaches or exceeds $100k, my personal goal (not necessarily the one stated above) will have been reached by a good margin.
(*) The above is purely hypothetical, I forgot my passphrase, all coins gone, now only have what's left in my Kraken account (around 1000 Doge I think)...
As of currently, your purely hypothetical and approximate schrodinger stash seems to be pretty healthy to me. Maybe you are not "already there" but it is within the reasonable expectations that you end up "making it" if we are patient and a bit lucky... and are able to recover the private keys when the time comes.
See? Today you (we all) are one step closer: $9157
