Of course you are right. All investors are interested in long-term projects. This is the only way to make good money. I think that this project is one of those that can be considered as an investment object.
When the project has a plan for several years ahead, it allows to hope that the team will be active and will develop the project globally, and not for the sake of local profits and local success.
You're right. Short-term goals lead to a correction after growth. It seems to me that investors are interested in growing on longer stretches of time in order to plan their money management.
