I have a simpler version of what you wrote there:

• Buy allot of Steem
• Comment on all #introducemyself posts until you have enough followers , than stop
• everybody wants to comment and upvote your posts , as you bought allot of steem , and you became famous
• Sign up as a witness
• Bribe whales to vote you as a witness
• As you reach Rep(60) stop replying to minnows
• Be arogant
• Be cocky

Trust me , it will work .
