To reach 4000 rating, how many victories in a row...

I have reached 4232 in a parallel universe. There, I also have a cat named Sally.
@Chesstroll_Berserk How many wins in row against players rated 3069 would be required to reach the 4000 Bullet rating assuming the starting rating is 3069, all the players have 3069 rating, all games are rated, all games are won, and the rating of opponent does not change?
I agree, I thought about 120 or 150, maybe is a bit more, one day I will try to do a little program what calculate this things when I have time :)
I reached -7000 elo in a dream:
There was someone called k_700, he was rated 700 elo.
I had no rating, but after i played 1000 games against k_700 and lost all games i had a elo of 0.
Then i played against someone called k_zero, he was rated, guess what 0 elo.
After i lost all games, i had not counted them but i realized that my rating did not decrease after i got
-700 elo, i said ggs and went on to play someone called, guess what ...
It would be awesome if Lichess had a feature where I could see how many points I would get if I win the game, what happens in draw and how many points I would lose if I lose the game.
Sample situation using Glicko2 rating system.

P1 has 2500 rating while P2 has 3000 rating. It would take 58 wins for P1 to reach 4000 or so rating points.

P1 Old Rating: 2500
P1 Old Rating Deviation: 100.0

P2 Old Rating: 3000
P2 Old Rating Deviation: 100.0

P1 Number of Wins: 58

P1 New Rating: 4009
P1 New Rating Deviation: 71.0
Hypotethical situation: you're young player with Fide rating 2260 and K-factor 40. Your opponent have F-rating 2500. So after one win your rating gain is 0.8*40=32. If you would play all games in one month (because F-rating is updated on monthly basis), your rating change after every single game would be +32 (in case you win the game). So you would need mod((4000-2260)/32)+1=55 wins in a row in one month to reach rating 4000.
