Thanks for sharing this! In German sayings you are an "old hare":

Normally, hares dont get old because of the hunters. If a hare could survive many years, it has proofed to be very experienced and clever.
So you are!
Most people underestimate the power of patience and persistance. So they usually give up too early. More than one year of activity is already a long time, but what will be in 5 years? Nobody knows, but you and I are strong believers in crypto and in steemit. I'm glad to have met you here.
Greetings from Munich, Germany.
