Huh. Downdooted without explanation for correctly explaining how percentages work. Not something I expected on HN. Never change, interwebs!

30x doesn't seem to mean 3000% but means 30 times original value.

If I had starting capital of 100 usd and it increased by 20x then that means I gained 2000 usd which is 20x of my starting capital.

EDIT: correction 30x is same as 3000%.
