I should have written in more detail what the difference between 2 and 3 would mean for my stack. But never did the calculation. If the bitcoin price remains at 30k until June 2025, I would only increase my stack by ~7% when I continue to stack as I do now. Likely the fiat price of bitcoin will increase, so I expect <5%. 
So, in that case, it makes sense to explore option 3.

I'd go for 2 or 3 with a slight favor towards the latter. If you're stacking you're ahead of the game. After that it's for me more important to do meaningful work that I enjoy versus getting rich.
