I think that's a solid plan and approach to Steemit. You're definitely in this for the long haul when you mention things like "5-10 years", and I think it's an awesome gameplan.
Just imagine how cool it would be to see Steem at $100 5-10 years from now when you've been able to harvest a ton of Steem during that time... :)
Oh trust me.. I have daydreams about steem hitting all-time highs just as we're about to find that 20-acres further north.
