Valve has tanked the counter strike knife market and gamers feel BETRAYED!>meme knife skins used to cost thousands of dollars>rich chinks and arabs would stockpile them and show them off on their profiles etc>now you can trade in semi-rare weapons to get these skins for free>chinks and arabs are on suicide watch>people hoarding these skins as "investment" lost their money overnight
>>61182127just a merely -60%. we'll walk it off.
>>61182127>shitskins hoarding shitty digital skins>crashes with a simple updateHaha, get fucked.
>>61182127LMAOOOOOI love Gaben
>here lies a man who went all in on paid digital goods and killed himself because they lost all valueit wasn't even stocks
what's to prevent a mere "update" from sending your crypto to 0? it's all just lines of code after allbefore you automatically respond, take a moment to ask yourself: is my response just some reiteration of "trust the plan" or "trust the science?"
Indians are not allowed to trade shitcoins anymore legally so lots of them use steam skins as an alternative.Today after this update hundreds of Indian villages are now doomed.
the new Vitalik is born
I can never understand the mentality of kys.even if you lose every penny you can still look at the sunset. You can still feel the warmth in your legs from going for a long walk. You can still pet a dog. You can make it all back or, even if not all of it, you can get back on the grind.Every hero has a black hole moment, it's part of becoming a hero.
Knifecoin didn’t pan out.
Too bad the skins werent on the blockchain
>>61182442This can’t be real. Kek. Are these guys idiots?
>>61182472for me my black hole is 8 years of holding LINK hoping for it to go to $1000 EOY. In the meantime while I wait in despair I enjoy spending time with my wife and kids, hiking, and playing music. It's not so bad, but I sure do wish LINK would moon already.
bullish for crypto unironically. there was a big overlap between crypto and cs skins enjoyers but some of them thought crypto is a scam or retarded. now they will understand the value of trustless, decentralized and deterministic systems
i dont understand why youd kill yourself over 50% down? Still having half seems great to me
>>61182527Sure bud. Keep telling yourself that. I’m sure everyone that got mogged by some hacked wallet or exchange. I hope they don’t so a software update on my precious metals holdings.
>>61182127You got what you deserved honestly. No fucking sympathy for retards.
>>61182127Fuck China and their money laundering scheme. My Arabs bros, and the habibi will just walk it off.
>>61182185He enabled this shit for years. Fuck him.
>>61182538you'd have to understand that the skin market didn't go down like ever, for the past 6 years since the chinks came in.
>digital assets
>>61182637Fuck valve skin niggers. I do love Gaben.
>>61182491I mean, what real value does that market worth have to Valve? If anything, this will be good for them since people won't be able to rely so much on their Steam wallets to make transactions, and instead use their real cash. Plus, this will most likely hurt a lot of 3rd party skin marketplaces, which in turn could very well drive more purchases towards Steam.
>>61183083Yeah. Was wondering what benefit this was to Valve.
>>61182127WHY WOULD TRUMP DO THIS>t. brainrotted culture warrior
>>61182127It exposes ALL the chinks who made it what it was. Beforehand, did ANYONE care? They are killing themselves in DROVES because of this, ALL BECAUSE OF PNGS!!!
>>61183083Maybe they started getting heat about the CS gambling stuff after the recent porn game drama. What cases are good to stock up on? They're all crashing right now and this market will balance itself out eventually
Fuck I broke my phone and I'm waiting for a replacement so I can't 2fa to sell my red. Fuck fuck biz it's over my life is over I'm done i'm so fuckng done fuck me
>>61182127even if I believe this. If you cant figure out the difference between trading and investing then you deserve to lose your money. You're just a gambler that thinks he has a system. I wonder though, is this how we get all of our money back from those scamming shit skins?
>>61183205Could you use an emulator like Bluestacks to log in? (If this works pls gib)
I unboxed a red and now I gotta wait until next week to sell. The prices will still be sky high then, right?
lots of poorfags and commies in this thread. its NOT MY FAULT you didnt invest in an asset that has pumped for the last 6 years. its NOT MY FAULT you're broke and angry. btw csgo gun skins unaffected. u mad commies?
>>61182491>valueThey have zero value except for buying games.This is nothing but a net positive for valve because now there won't be as many retarded russians and huehue's spamming to get cases and shit
>>61183025>Fuck valve skin niggers. I do love the one enabling them.Fucking lolValve drones are pathetic.
>>61183083This is about repressing gambling & getting out of jail before the *legislators* come down on Valve. They know the walls are closing in. If they kill the market without directly banning gambling they never admit to the problem & also solve it. Every betting/trading site is locked up right now due to this. Its perfection. Just a shame I hold bunch of skins from back in the day, but I'm worth millions now so I don't care.
People are going to be looking to pivot to the next big steam market now that CS2 is dead.I'm going to profit by pivoting to TF2 cases before the crowd hits, already have 1000 Summer 2023 War Paint Cases bought at rock bottom prices, it can only go up.
>>61182442Bro really thought he cooked with this Reddit-tier pseudointellectual bs
>>61183334>Gaben alows idiots to spend millions of dollars on shiny skins.>retards actually believe this is a legitimate form of investment and money making>Gaben decides to rug the retards, because fuck them and their retard money.>Idiots kill themselves and their items are now completely worthless lol>I continue playing CS2 because I simply enjoy the game.Maybe play the game and not some facsimile for it and you won't end up a broke retard.
>>61183444idk man, why not make it like valorant in the first place? gaben's practices when it comes to microtransactions is as scummy as it gets.
>>61183421Been doing this too, if only for the hope that they finally make a TF3
>>61182127>the 3 laughing emoji reactions Good lord it would be sad if it wasnt funny
>>61182472>get back on the grindKys is literally preferable to this. And yeah, there used to be some romance about being a bum or a drifter but now that all city streets are encrusted with junkies there's nothing great about that either. You could try pulling a chris knight and roughing it in the woods forever but good luck not getting spotted and reported and convicted for not paying your taxes and rent like a good paypig. The only real longterm choices are permanent retirement through passive investment or death. Everything else is fucked and cucked.
>>61182127>Gamers: “crypto is bad, we don’t want crypto in our games>Also gamers: yess more loot boxes, more gamba with special rare valuable items!>NOOOO WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY RARE ITEMS ARE GONE! HOW COULD A CENTRALIZED CONTROL DO THIS TO ME!!Could have been prevented if the items were just nfts on the blockchain
>>61182527>now that knife enjoyers lost all their money, they'll take all their money and use it to buy cryptoNegative IQ moment
>>61182442What’s to prevent your fiat from going to zero? With a click of a button they can print 100 trillion dollars and inflate your value away
>>61182127Satoshi solved this by creating a trustless digital asset. Knive skin holders were betrayed by the issuer they had to trust because Valve inflated the supply of the asset. This happened many times with currencies that have a central authority throughout history.
gee it's almost like investing in a vidya game item is incredibly stupid and risky since the developers can change the rules at any time for any reason
>>61183503that wouldn't fix anything if the rules were changed such that you can now generate more knife NFTs for free
>>61182127This is what started ETH(social status investments being arbitrarily fucked with by forces outside of the participants control)kinda goofy but...honk...honk
>>61183466He privately owns his company, if you think the shit going on is bad now imagine if they were to go public.
Valve changed the rules effectively tanking rarity of the highest valued items. But that's not the biggest problem here. Even ITT many don't realize that trust has eroded. That is what can kill markets like these in the long term.
>*rugs your knife-folio*
>>61182461The skins affected is worth more than one indian bloodline.
>>61183639Not only the market, but the entire concept of Steam. I've been contemplating buying from GOG more and more lately, and I think that's what I'm going to do from now on.
Take note, cryptofags.This is just a glimpse of your fake computer money.>I-its not the same, its just gaming itemsits the same type of speculative market for crypto.Buy real assets, such as land, gold, silver.Gabe showed what can easily happen to fake and gay markets, like stocks, and crypto.he is giving a massive hint to you faggots.
>>61183545Oh so like the minting of more super rare items making them not as rare anymore
MY COLLATERALIZED KNIFE OBLIGATIONS NOOOOOOO
>>61182472even if you decided to reset, you should always try to take at least a jeet CEO of a random company with yourself, there is literally no value in killing urself
>>611824423 replies and none proved you wrong btw.My first thought was that crypto is exactly the fucking same
>>61184008They are convincing retards that crypto is a new store of wealth when its been gold for the past 3000+ years. They will rugpull the U.S dollar, and crypto along with it.When I think crypto, the first things that come to mind is "scam" "shady" 'illegal" "jeet" "browniods" "gambling addicts" and this goes with the average normie thought as well. They don't know about gold yet, but are starting to awaken.Gold has always been the sound money, and its limited. Its going to be priced out to the average person, or become simply unobtanium for the public in general when it gets limited to only banks and tech manufacturers.
>>61183754would love more real estate but i can only buy what i can afford
>>61182442>proof of work
>>61182127There's actually an entire community of fags collecting in game items enough to become an hero? I shouldn't be talking shit we do the same crap but with Crypto kek.
>>61184111there was already cryptofags who off themselves over the recent dip.Imagine all of it hitting zero or single/double digits.
>>61182472I mostly see where you're coming from, I agree, but if you're like pushing 35-45 y.o. and lose all your NW in some dorky shit like skins in a single company's vidya the combination of humiliation and financial destruction all at once and knowing you have to start over may be too much.
>>61182442It can, but a roll back can also be done because the data is decentralised
>>61182442you really this stupid? there's a thing called governance. not with your centralized garbage knifecuck
>>61184086>the best thing about crypto is it's unstoppable, it's fate is decided and nothing any rock collector says will make the slightest difference, so go ahead and collect rocks.
>>61182127don't kid yourself, most losers buying this shit are cumskins and not only the rich ones
>>61182442You are right for ALL CRYPTO, except for Bitcoin
>>61182127Reminder that the same people that are willing to kill themselves over an in-game pixel knife dropping slightly in value are very likely the same toxic freaks that tell you to kill yourself in games. It's legit mental illness, I actually feel sorry for them.
>>61182127>Valve directly causing discord mods to Sudoku based
>>61182442Nice bait, here's your (You)
>>61183554>ETHremember ethereum classic and the dao hack? i remember
Good maybe the games can be fun again.
>>61184106just a bad update and it's over, doesn't matter if the mining part is decentralized, most of the development is centralized and 99% of users won't read updates or code
>>61182127Fake until the telegram group name is provided
>>61185453Except if you don't like the update you can make your own fork in a few hours with others. That would definitively hurt the price but It happened with eth. Décentralisation is not a meme
>>61182978Silver will never go up goofy you're just waiting to break even on your premium and VAT.
>>61182127>photo removed>10 dislikes
>>61182168>>61182142>>61182420I don't understand why they never sold though. If oyu have 800k in skins like that one dude who was posting here a month ago, then sell that shit it's obviously a bubble lmao what the fuck.
>>61182766>>61183104>IT NEVER GOES DOWN!Until it does, thanks for playing.>chinks replaced BTC for Skins since 2019No wonder the last 2 bull markets have sucked.
>>61182127I guess you could say CS2 turned into an hero shooter.
What kind of retard pays real money to make their knife look different in a game?
>>61185743stolen joke
>>61183754>land, gold, silver. All things the government can and absolutely taken from Americans.
>>61182127gaben is based as fuck for this
>>61185870Which is why real currency is firearms, ammunition, medicine, ability to produce food and women. Then when government goon come for your stuff you give your firearms to your sons and hunt glowniggers together to defend your food, medicine and women. /biz/ is for faggots.
>>61183513If you hold literally any non-fiat assets, you would benefit from that scenario. Not to mention any debt you have would essentially be erased.
>>61182472Yeah you can do all those things, but with the nagging realization in the back of your mind that you have nowhere comfortable to sleep, or at least will lose your place to sleep soon. Hard to enjoy a sunset when you're hungry, exhausted, uncomfortable, unhealthy, and have utterly zero prospects of getting any of those things back within even 5 years. If you truly lost everything, you sit there and look at the sunset and think "This is one of the many things I will never get to relax and enjoy ever again."

>>61182127Hopefully whatever he used to kill himself had a sick skin.
>>61185696>I don't understand why they never sold thoughits an illiquid market, you can't move high quantity at high price
>>61185696because they had been profiting 50% year after year since forever. the dude with more than 100k are probably traders, they buy and sell to make profit.
So how does monopoly money only applicable to video games convert to real world value?
>>61186826on steam you need real money to buy them and then there are the off-platform marketplaces where people trade with real money through escrow and whatnot
>>61182127LMAOOOOOOOOOO
>>61182472heard a lot of these 3rd worlders are borrowing from loan sharks or mafia so it makes sense killing yourself is the easier way out and getting chopped into pieces.
>>61186307https://youtu.be/8K0yvRJi6QE

>>61187194esports died because you can pay to customise your weapons appearance? ok...>>61183421it's the same company and same marketplace, they'll be doing the same thing to TF2 soon. It isn't a decision made of Gabe's own volition, it's because of government pressure on gambling and lootboxes>>61182527>he thinks LINK is going to pump because some gamers lost a years worth of floating profit on skinsuh....
>>61185696How do you even cash out?
>>61182168>shitskinsbro the only people playing cs are europeans
>>61187348do the trade on 3rd party off-platform market using escrow
>>61183421Skin prices are tied to playerbase and its willingness to spend money on cosmetic, and nobody plays fucking tf2 because it's a shit game, just sell your items and buy crypto or stocks lol
>>61187370You're right desu. CSGO skins are essentially a centralised nft with an actual use-case in a game with 1.5million players per day. TF2 playerbase is like 98% smaller
>>61185696No one really buys them. It's not a dex where you can automatically sell into an LP pool randomly at 4AM, you have to list your shit, one by one, and constantly update the listing to make sure it stays on the first page. It's really cancer, exactly why NFTs have failed as store of value.
>>61182127> since when were you under ze impression, zat ze CRAB-17 is over?
>>61187389tf2 playerbase is only like 10k people, the rest are bots. The only reason why some items there are so expensive (like golden pans) is because you have a few people trading these things between each other, but there is no actual liquidity in the market for most of them to sell it at the prices they're at right now
>>61182127Ngl im lolin at the laugh react emojis
>>61182491>Are these guys idiotsNo they just hate their players with a passion.
>>61187370Reminder that TF2 will outlive counter strike.

ChinaGaben is doing god's work, this one move, fucks China's money laundering skins so hard, they are quivering. I say good for Gaben, in fact, I will buy keys to open case, to give Gaben more money just for this.

>>61187645Who do you think MADE the cheats? Protip: it country's name start with C. and it is not Canada or your cunt mother.
>>61187645For every white teenager running an aimbot there's at least 50 chinese adults doing the same.
>>61187648More likely China owned bots. They are farming those weekly, cheating to accumulate inventory. The syndicates from China love botting games, from Warcraft to path of exile, every game is tainted by China.
This arbitrary capriciousness on the part of Valves shows why we need a multipolar world order now more than ever. Degenerate western liberals are impoverishing the third world and innocent brown people with their colonialist and imperialist financial manipulation bullshit and China and Russia need to start nuking white people NOW.
let's go!!

>>61182127I really have to stop questioning my own intelligence.

But then something like this happens and I'm reminded that a lot of people are just really dumb. The same goes for a lot of other things in life.
Maaaaan, the things you learn. I had no idea there was a parallel universe with brokies like /biz/ where people gamble their money on fugazzi. Maaaaaan. Counter Strike knives LMFAO.
>>61182442I'll give you a you for your shitty bait. This is an argument FOR crypto where you can't just add stuff (double spends) without everyone agreeing.
>>61182442I love it when braindead demons try to argue against bitcoin.Literally ZERO valid arguments, raising my faith in bitcoin ( holding be upon us ) that much each time.We're not even in the early stage guys.We're not even in the pre-alpha.

To the anons comparing crypto to the skins - you're missing the entire point of crypto, which is DECENTRALIZED TRUST. That's it. That's all that it's about.Of course this doesn't apply to all the crypto, some are more decentralized than others. With crypto, only one thing matters - how much % of the consensus in the network do you need to push a decision? For some crypto projects, this is indeed up to the whims of a few people. But for others, that is not the case.Even if such an unpopular decision was to be introduced to the Bitcoin network for example, the majority will simply not implement it. A few others will, and that's how you get spinoff chains like Bitcoin Cash - decisions that weren't popular enough to be pushed in the main blockchain.

btw knives will plunge deeper into red and probably do as much as -85% total once a week passes and the traded up ones start becoming tradeable. so far all the mass selling is collector cucks panic selling

>>61182127Bet you all wish an NFT knife existed now, don’t you, gamerfags? You're always the first to shit on NFT gaming but still want a viable digital market?? bwahahaha straight up blue hair delusional get rekt nerds
Who the fuck even plays these shitty games in 2025, let alone buy cosmetics in them? It was all wash trading between a couple of whales anyway. I refuse to believe that a real player would pay $5k for a knife skin.
>>61182127Honestly I bet this raped Chinese markets way worse than American or EU. Scheming Chicoms manipulate the market, ESPECIALLY with high tier knives. So net gain.
so what do we actually do now? red will go up, knives down? other shit will stay around the same prices?
>>61187351Explain all these upset chinks
What about payday 3 skins
>>61194102It did, EU prices were down max 70%, chiense markets some items were down 90%
Is there even proof that anyone has made actual...money, good money from CS skins? Like if I had a knife worth 20k, could I get a buyer and that money within a week and buy a car?
>>61194826Yeah people did it all the time. Pretty much everything in cs makes you money if you just hold
>>61194830But I want to cash out, these people didn't cash out, supposedly some of these guys had enough money to buy a house with all their skins.
>>61194852the people didn't cash out because they were chinese people using it as an investment vehicle. There are tons of RMT sites that allow you to cash out easily, either instantaneously with the site where they take a cut, or by listing the items and their buyouts so other users can buy them for real money closer to their value.
>>61182127Lost 5k on this bullshit. I don't want to sign a contract with the army.
>>61187845>btc is safe because miners will never vote against their interests>security budget? uhhhh... nation states WILL start to mine at a loss to protect their investments>no, no miner will ever vote to raise the cap, that would be against my, uh, i mean their interests. SHUT UP YOU FUCKING CHUD SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UPthis is your mind on btc
>>61182442>Governance and proofsIn a decentralized system, no one can just ship an “update” that wipes everyone out, the community has to agree to any changes, and people can reject bad ones. In a centralized system, one company Valve in this case controls the code, so if they decide to pull the plug, your stuff’s gone essentially making a walrus named Gaben your god
>>61182127So how much money would you have made if you played CS normally for let's say 10 hours a week for several years and immediately sold off all your loot? CS was never my bag but that's what I would have done since skins are kinda gay.
>>61194862I feel like it would get too high for people to even go through with buying it.
>>61187671thats what you get for trying to partake in the glorious aryan economy
