I don't think that's crazy (despite knowing the amount of SP you targeted for this, but less may be fine if Steem price increases a lot)... Sure, it would have been easier for us if we had started earlier, but I think time has not passed for such a dream to become reality, provided steem ecosystem really soars in the coming years.

As I grow here (and I have, compared to the time of joining, but still there's so much walk to walk), I try to also keep in touch with the struggles of the newcomers, because there's always a risk of forgetting where we started from, and the new people joining are what will create the ripple effect that will make Steem great.
