I don't think it's as black and white as not following investment advice of random posters on GFY. Some people just aren't liquid or are unable to risk an amount that would provide a big yield. The bitcoin example is ridiculous, obviously no one thought this random nerd algorithm used to buy drugs and traffick humans would 1,000,000,000x.
I put as much as I could afford into $FB on day one, and sold after I 2x'd because I needed the money. I don't know how much more I could have put in or how long I could have held it that would have had an impact on my life.
