For every winner there is a loser, in any market. There were a TON of losers during the spike, but in truth, ONLY if you cashed out lower than you bought. I didn't buy anything then, but did have an awesome run at Nicehash while it lasted. Now I'm back to mining SUP full time.
That market run up had FOMO all over it. It is encouraging though as it shows there is a demand for coin in general.
