When I joined the blockchain back in 2018, I didn't have much understanding of how things went. I gave up and left the chain and came back 2020 last year. If I was to go back to when I joined, I would tell myself to go around asking questions on how things run here, try making friends and building relationships, blog consistently and be little focused on the reward; mostly because I know it was not easy at all during those days of steem.
