There is ONE way for you to catch up (momentarily). If you purchase a ton of HIVE and power up you can catch up. Yet in the process of purchasing that much hive you will have caused the value of hive to skyrocket so they likely will benefit immensely and can likely power up more themselves to maintain that lead thanks to your efforts. (Everyone that has hive could potentially benefit from that purchase until things level out... how many people might suddenly choose to sell because hive is worth so much?)
If they don't power up to get ahead again then you can be on equal (or even exceed them).
