> So you are looking at a pure profit of $197k per month.

Not including liquidity issues and fees for turning that stuff into actual money, at least until you can start paying all your bills with bitcoin.

$200k/month is not going to run you into liquidity issues.
It's $200k/month worth of Bitcoin. The 'liquidity' we're talking about here is converting Bitcoin into local currency that you can purchase things with.
Again, not a problem.
Possible, perhaps, "not a problem", seems pretty untrue. How exactly would someone go about cashing out $200k worth of bitcoin?
Sell on an exchange. The big ones have a monthly trade volume of 100k+ BTC ($50+ million): http://bitcoinity.org/markets/list?currency=ALL&span=30d Clearly $200k is a drop in the bucket for them.
I sold $800k US of bitcoin on bitstamp market earlier this year - i did it over 30 minutes and it dropped the spot price about $6
