Everything which is not your salary is completely speculative, and should be valued at near-zero. That you wanted to gamble on that was your own decision and your own fault. You have nobody to blame but yourself. If you had gotten rich from the stocks you wouldn't have complained here.

Duh.

> That you wanted to gamble on that

What makes you think I gambled at all?

  • You said that you worked for a low salary at startups and feel scammed because of that.

    You could have worked somewhere else instead for a higher salary if you weren't gambling.

    Or if nobody would have hired you for a higher salary somewhere else, then maybe your salary at the startups wasn't so low after all?

    • If you want to go with that tone... I wonder if you did not understand my English or if you lack basic logic?

      I did not say that I felt scam because of my low salary. I said that I felt scam because the founders got rich and what I got didn't compensate the low salary.

      Said differently, the founders got rich and I didn't get much at all. When I say "not much", it means "not nothing, but not a lot".
