It's called gambling and you should consider yourself lucky. Very, very lucky. You basically whine about 90000% ROI when it could've been 900000%. Let that sink in for a moment.

Consider this: many small-scale investors entered the market right at, or very near recent peaks. What would someone say who bought in a year ago for like $50k, not $5? They'd be down over 50% at the moment and there's simply no guarantee the market will recover to the $60k+ levels seen in October and November last year.

Add on top of that people who invested by means of putting their life savings (again, not as uncommon as you might think) into shady operations like Celsius due to their dubious claims of %10 annual returns. They're completely screwed if things go sideways and Celsius closes its doors.

Same thing I'd say to someone that bought Netflix stock around the same time. Gamblers beware.
