You are not left behind, there are a lot of people still starting and me myself i dont feel left behind even if one of a friend of mine, we started the same time, but my account value is only 2,500 compared to him that is already 10,000. Well I don’t know what magic he did but he is morethan 10x ahead of me now. It doesn’t matter coz when you started to join this platform, you are already a winner, why? You started to earn crypto which means money, you started to built friends, and you started to learn things as knowledge, you are learning here. Don’t worry, steem will grow and so are we.
