Your friends are like gamblers/lottery players, they are only telling you about the wins.
Trout has lasted WAY longer than most in the game of hot potato. These modern cards get handed around at first and everyone makes money. Then like a hot potato falling so do the prices of these cards.
I have been in the hobby for 30+ years and it has always been this way. Only now those $35-$100 rookie/prospect cards are selling for the prices of a house.
