>>216139288dump him
>>216138785You're laughing. Millions of thirdies are suiciding now that their net worth in knives disappeared and you're laughing.
>>216139651yes
>>216139795>>216139651
>>216138785Gaben has always been a scam nigger
>>216138785>rare csgo skins are more affordable>some literally who whales offing themselves because of thisim unable to see how this affects any normal person unless you are one of the retards that bought csgo skins for an absurd amount of money
>>216140467people dumped their entire life savings into this since it was a better preforming 'asset' than bitcoin and stocks
>>216140645how does this affect any normal human being
>>216140674it doesn't other than casual schadenfreude
I'm 90% sure Valve does this for legal reasons so they don't get caught up in something for having a 1 billion dollar fake economy and they are the bank, which is why they periodically nuke them and make the many russians and chinese folx of steam suicidal
Am proud to say I have never had a steam account
it's counterstrike skinssteam as a platform is still fine
>>216141230(in the US at least) if you have "blue dollars" or some internal currency with converting rate then you have to match every dollar going in with a dollar coming back out when the money is realized. dont think people can trade their skins with steam directly to cash out, but if steam cashes out from their own money back to the US dollar then they have to account for that if they put dollars in
>>216140645not only that, those suicides dude took loans for sure
>>216139801>400kIt cant be real
>>216141367the market cap was 6.5 billiondropped to 3 billion and still dropping
>>216141230yeah its some legal schematics
>>216140645It's like investing in bottled farts
>>216141392bottle skin farts?? where to buy that!
>>216141367>>216139801401k refers to the tax code section; it is his retirement in other words.
>>216141481Thank you anon
>>216141367a 401k is the most common type of retirement account for americans so hes saying that he basically took out his retirement pension (there is a huge penalty for withdrawing it early) to buy game skinsit reads like a joke and I hope it is
>>216138785qrd? im not incel
>>216141576without getting into too much detail valve just reduced the rarity of the most expensive items in cs2 by a fuckton and a bunch of people lost hundreds of thousands of dollars, specifically collectors and 'investors', a lot of whom were chinese
>tens of thousands of dollars on videogame pixelsJust why
>>216141661>>216140645
>>216141719Pajeet shitcoin scams perform better than bitcoin too, also anyone buying bitcoin at currently 106k is super duper retarded
>>216141843just so you realize how bad it is, and this is just the tip of the iceberg, the more rare/expensive an item is the more it dumps, and its still dropping now
>>216141944also its mostly affected thirdies for a reason, in countries like china regular investing in stocks isn't really available to you due to sanctions or other things, these skins are the only way for you to get liquid foreign currency, thats why people chose to 'invest' in them, and why most of the suicide cases currently because of this are happening in china
>>216142020Giga basedI kneel Gabe-sama
Based gabenFucking basedReal value comes from trinkets not pixels
>>216142700Just FYI I used to own a lot of pixels from lowballing newfriends. Back in Tf2.
>>216142829Aren't these burning hats worth hundreds of dollars as well?
>>216142935I had those many moons ago. That used to be worth tens of thousands at one point.
Investing in random shitcoins is better than fucking virtual knives of all things, couldn't these dumbasses just put their money into gold if they wanted shiny things to look at

>>21614295410k x 8damn nga but you probably get half that a year through neetbux anyway
>>216141944This is only bad for knife and glove owners
>>216143098i.e the majority of collectors
>>216143096It was easy money in Tf2. There was a program that tracked all unboxed unusuals and their steam accounts. All you had to do was add them quick and sing a lullaby of getting a great deal.
>>216143119It's literally the same as with investing in stocks, just diversify and you'll reduce the risk of losing money
>>216143098>>216143238Afaik only sticker chads won and covert weapon hoarders.It's a disaster for the economy.
Sold the rest of my collection in June for €8k because I've been worried about Valve pulling something like this for a long time. Thank fuck.
>>216138785lmoa they crashed the Dota 2 market in a similar way too long back making betting and trading useless. I sold most of my items and bought games with them in the end. This used to be 1000-1500$ at its peak now it's just 200$.They do this to counter CIS and Chinese money laundering set ups. I don't play like cs go so idk what knives or crates are expensive but they're all just money laundering tactics
>>216146419Something like 60% of all the major big items and skins were sitting in the hands of Russian, Chinese and Saudi oilers. Ohnepixel2 was offered 1.2 million USD for his blue gem Karambit and turned it down because "it is just gonna keep going up". He hasn't sold it. And today it's currently worth about five bucks or less. Four years ago he was extremely cocky about it, pinned peoples comments for saying he was retarded for turning down the offer and now he has useless pixels kek.
>>216138785I got a shitty covert skins from dreams and nightmares case 2 weeks ago now it's worth $50 lel thanks for the free money gabe
>>216146232>Sold the rest of my collection in June for €8k because I've been worried about Valve pulling something like this for a long time.Same, I did it 2 or 3 years ago to fund a trip to France to see my gf. We're getting married next year. Best decision I ever made
