You’re absolutely right about growing pains can’t be avoided in the process of maturing to handle them.
I can feel your pain cause as at the time I got on steemit January this year , I made an investment of 15 sbds bought with fiat and now the price which I bought it then would buy me 155 sbds now.
But one thing is certain, no gain without pain, when trouble lasts the night, joy comes in the morning.
