guys... someone check on the saudi princes and people who were already rich... they aint gonna like this...
>>723930334didn't this guy bankrupt multiple casinos
>>723930301check the frontpage on steam market and look through price history on all the items on the frontpage bunch of items just randomly went 10x in price
>>723930483he also raped children
all gacha faggots deserve to lose moneyi hope one day valve just deletes the community market (they won't, obviously) and they're all forced to realize how worthless their gay skins are
>>723931865based
I might actually be able to buy a house with all the CS I played in college
>>723932601>dumbass thinks he's part of the money laundering clublol you pay the money but you don't receive it.people don't even realize they got dupes and there's pretty much a 100% chance valve sells special api keys to eastern european e-sports partners(organized crime who launders money through him.
>>723930248>crashhow is this a crash when it increased the flow of money in the market?
>>723931865there's literally nothing wrong with cunny
>>723930301CS2(cs go) made it so you can trade up the highest rarity (ignoring contraband) gun skins to get a guranteed knife or glove, thus jacking up every covert weapon skin's price regardless of user demand or genuine rarity due to discontinued or active series. It would be like tf2's letting u trade in a 5 dogshit elf hats to get an unusual
So what happened to the price of knives, did they plummet?
>>723930248>p250Why this instead of its successor the legblaster 5000? No one gave a shit about the p250
it's just cosmetic items who cares
>>723933395people been money laundering with csgo skins for the longest, a ton of chinese whales are about to wake up and kill themselves
>>723933205I don't understand any of the things you just said. Does any of this affect the game of counterstrike?
>>723930248I just put up my old knife for sell to put towards the steam frame and it literally dropped $200 what the fuck
>>723933652Are you mentally challenged? None of what he said was difficult to understand.
>>723932839how was this a crash when it increased the flow of money in the market?
>>723930248>just boosted the value of all your reds>crashed the marketyou're a retard
>>723933652it doesn't affect the game itself
>random m4 i bought years ago is worth like 200 buckshow do i sell this shit for real money?
>>723933652Yes, everyone knows you hit better with a Fire Serpent then with some shitty Jungle Spray
doesn't even make sense why they did this, this even hurts the "broke" people with cheap shitty knives
>>723934429sell it for steam cash right now, then buy skins and cash them out through a third party when the market is stable, or put it in tf2 skins and cash those out
>>723934651Because you are a pathetic gambling addict and deserve it. lol
>>723934429>risking rmt ban for 200 bucks
>>723930248I never open my cases and i sold them instead. I think the black ones has a price of single AAA video game and im happy with it
>>723934728I have crypto and gold but thanks ig
>2 day market hold so i can't make an easy $100why does this shit happen to me
>>723934212>dude are you retarded this only boosted the value of reds, this doesn’t affect the market or anything else at all lolololI love when actual retards call other people retards, arguing about something they don’t even understand and make themselves look like a completely retarded jackass with full confidence
do people still even play this game lol
Thanks for this thread. I had some covert skins i bought for like 5 euros years ago. I just made 140€ selling 2
>>723934953HAHAHAHAI hope valve does this to TF2 too and BTFO the traders there
>>723935067doesn't matter. but if you did back in the day. sell now and actually make some real money
>>723935264TF2 had a similar event not long ago when a bug resulted in a 100% chance to unbox unusual hats.
>>723935264there's no comparable trade-up to knives in tf2 like there is in cs i think
Counter strike is actually over now. there is no coming back from this.
>>723932839Loss of trust in the market.
>>723934953OYYYYYY PLEASE SOMETHING THINK OF THE PAYE-I MEAN PLAYERS
>>723935264TF2 trading is already dead. It's just peepo selling their useless unusuals to their friends to manipulate the price there.
>>723933205And this is a bad thing?
>>723932839all the knives lost 50% of their value in an hours. it's fucking done
>>723930248>>723933205>>723934953Can someone explain this to me, a non-gambler/trader?Genuinely how do you even predict stuff like this as a trader? >Completely sudden and unprecedented change, >less than 5 minutes after the news broke, and items plummeted/increased more than 10x in value. What the fuck are you even supposed to do in this situation unless you’re glued to the screen 24/7? Literally a case of blink and you miss it. So if you wanted to profit from this it’s literally just get lucky and be at the right place at the right time? Is this also how it works on a macroeconomic level, when it comes to those million/billion dollar stock exchanges too and how those guys get rich through “investments”? Actually insane when you think about it
>>723935665It's going to stabilize.
>>723935608yes. you can get the rarest items quaranteed by using 5 lesser rare items. thus the market crash on the said rare items. that's the whole gist
>>723935717Money isn't real. The value of things isn't real.
>>723935720the value is not going up though. it's FUBAR
>>723935717>What the fuck are you even supposed to do in this situation unless you’re glued to the screen 24/7?Like in real life speculative trading markets: eat shit and sell as soon as you realize what's going on so you don't continue eating shit.
all my monkeys gone
>>723935349I remember rushing back from school the moment I heard about it. Begged my parents to give me some money for steam, bought a few crates and before I could open any Valve disabled unboxing.
>>723930248brainlet here, volve crashed the market but line goes up?
>>723935804It's going to stabilize.
>>723935717there are typically trading windows IRL, you dont just have to wake up half of Austria and Montenegro to sell at 3.15AM and then someone in Bali loses $4mill at 6am for his American benefactor because nobody is at work at 3am in Austria
>>723935896lesser rare items value up 10x. rarest items have lost 50% of it's overall value and going down still
>CYKA BLYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
>>723930248That's a market boom, not a crash.
>>723935896Valve is the market. The school just told everyone via the college radio that theyre changing the way college students are allowed to invest while enrolled.
imagine being a skintuber atm. Rip anomaly and ohnepixel etc.
>>723930248bros… wtf is this
>>723934953>investing and trading in make-believe skins is deadGood.Fuck playing games just so you can financially abuse yourself over imaginary items.Those people needed some help, and Gay Ben is cutting them off cold turkey at his own expense.
The CS market reached 6B.This is nonsensical shit on the same scale as AI investments.Thank fuck it's going down.
cashed out. I'm done. thank fuck I only had reds and not knives
>>723931784I’m just gonna leave the thread instead
>>723935989Maybe I should sell the 1 covert i have that went from 3 to 40 dollars.My old AWP one hasn't budged at all (then again it is 800 dollars already). I have tons of early restricted (and dupes) worth way more than that one 40 dollar one.That and a sticker which would be contraband equivalent.Looks like the knife did lose 200 or so in value.I'd trade it all for the MG server I used to play on in the day to come back along with everyone else on there.Don't even play CS:GO and haven't really in years, just can't seem to part with it though
The market got rebalanced because golds were fucking retarded to getAnd by kneecapping the values of golds, more people will get sucked into using the steam market instead of third partiesIts all devilish but I fucking hated skintards anyway
>>723936446best time to sell is now. i don't see the prices getting any better. this is the peak. knives are gonna be less desirable going forward so they value of reds will also go down
>>723936210>Those people needed some help, and Gay Ben is cutting them off cold turkey at his own expense.Unfortunately, that probably wasn't the intent. Valve probably did this to increase market traffic and to reduce the value of hoarding big-ticket items. Most of the really big sales happen off Steam, so I wonder if this was an attempt to drop the prices lower to dissuade people from trading outside of the Steam marketplace by making the effort not as worthwhile.
Is Valve facing some legal issues over its png market?
>first company to leverage modern MTX lootbox strategy>first company to rugpull it's own playersI kneel........ He's too powerful................
>>723934953>went full schizo>nobody buys cases for redsmy ass, faggots buying knife skins are also kitting out all their other weapons, they're not going to walk around with a 2k€ knife and default awp/ak skins
>>723936637lol no, user signed up for this shit
>>723936637buyers market. what they say goes
>>723936602The market cap will drop to 4B maybe even 3B but Valve doesnt care most of that shit they never saw any money from
>>723936693they always get their cut from every sale on their marketplace, doing this is retarded
>>723930248Shit will crumble once people find out how easy it is to roll red weapons. There's certainly no shortage of them as per >>723936169Any anons sitting on this shit better sell IMMEDIATELY.
>>723935067no, everyone either gambles or speculates in the market, the actual game is dogshit and a cover basically
>>723936752Nah the real big money deals were happen out of steamThis siphons in more player into steam
>>723936752People aren't using the steam market for big ticket trades. Valve wants their cut from the whales
>>723936764yep sell NOW. this is how I retire from counter strike. I got all my money I've spent on the game back. I won
>>723936637https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/it/press-room/20251013IPR30892/new-eu-measures-needed-to-make-online-services-safer-for-minorsEU may be passing a law in the near future called the Digital Services Act which would pretty much kill lootboxes/gacha mechanics in that region. Valve is probably trying to get ahead of that.
>valve forces their players to sell their shitty knife skins in anticipation of their new VR Headset releasingbased tactics, valve
>>723936752They don't get a cut if the sale happens through a third-party trading platform, which is usually where the big $1,000+ cash trades are happening. Nobody wants to use Steam marketplace for that sort of thing since you can't withdraw the money into your real bank account. Instead they have trusted third-parties handle it as a normal cashless item-item trade over Steam while an irl cash transaction takes place.
So the play right now is to hold your reds, no? Considering the supply is bout to massively tank as everybody converts their shit into knives?
>mfw the counter strike 2 """""""market"""""" just lost ~$10,000,000I get to sit back and enjoy pay piggies and retards lose their fucking minds. I'm loving it. I bought a skin for $0.40 and a nametag to constantly remind these retards about this day.
>>723937024Basically hold everything. Sell some golds if you have any.
>>723937024Pretty much. You hold now and the supply of reds will go further down as people scoop them up. Either everyone will hold reds and they'll continue to go up as the supply is lowered or people will use them leading to the same thing.
>>723937036>Only $10,000,000lollmao
>>723937091>>723937024All the lower tiers will go up too because blues and purps are gonna get traded up for more reds.Valve created a grinder.
>>723937184>Valve created a grinder.valve improved their grinder
doesnt this raise the value of pink items too?
>>723937230Yeah more or less. People are panicking and I'm sure traders are gonna lose trust in the market but it's all rather clear to me.The question now is where do we expect the market cap to stabilize.
>>723930248Wait, so Valve slurps up a cut of every sale. They can just patch in some random shit like this, artificially generating a 10x boost in price and demand and just get a 10x larger cut in the process?
>>723937292yes, but some schizos only have knifes and gloves and act like this is an investment market instead of a game
>>723935717>Can someone explain this to me, a non-gambler/traderFor the last 10-15 years, Valve has had a crazy market for counter strike skins. For the longest time, the only way to get a gold was to get it out of a case. They added a update that lets you turn 5 red skins into a gold. There were some red skins worth ~$1.00Before the prices got jacked up earlier today, you could literally turn ~$15 into a $2500 knife. tl;dr The made up money laundering counter strike fake skin pixels market is crashing with no survivors.
>>723930248BasedUpsetting people who spend real money for fake goods is always good
>>723937036calling traders paypiggies is a bit silly.
>>723937158>5 BILLIONWHAT THE FUCK
>>723937184The strat right now is sell ALL REDS. and buy up all the cheap 4 cent weapons. Once the system is updated to account for these weapons too, the prices will go up to 40 cents minimum. I just spent a measly $5 on as many 4 cent shits as I can. You'll laugh at me now but I'll be laughing with a cool $500 in a few months, maybe even weeks or days, time.
MY RETIREMENT
>>723937158holy fuuuuuck
>>723937315theres a reason people of any intelligence trade real stocks instead of made up videogame pictures invented by a company that also controls the entire institution that the pictures exist in. Theyve been warned several times but the main argument from people is that they do it "on the side" or they try to flex that theyre earning money by doing very little
>>723937379The market for knives is crashing, the market for gun skins is booming.
>>723937496why do you think the blues purps pinks and reds will go up if the golds become easier to get?golds going down means everything goes down
Anyone who plays CSshit or trades skins needs to be put down irl
>>723937559Because the value of golds is not really going down. The value of what you can now trade up in order to get a gold is increasing, which thus causes golds to further increase in value when the rest of the market has adjusted to this.
>>723937558>the market for gun skins is boomingI just got a skin that used to be $80 for like $3.00
>>723937670the entire market is predicated on the exclusivity of goldsim sorry but in what world does shit go up instead of everything barreling down the shitter because knives got devalued?
>>723935264Tf2 trading history had a lot of cataclysmic events.>unusual miscs suddenly no longer unboxable>gen 1,2,3 suddenly availiable on all crates>
>>723936169unironic answer to this question, the IRS aren't stupid, just because your money is in goofy online fps game skins doesn't mean they will just ignore it, they are perfectly capable of understanding what digital assets are, they even have new laws written all about non-tangible digital assets like skins
>>723937670doesnt work when the value increase is actually going from impossible to possible. there are 10s of millions of blues ready to be traded up to knifes right now.
>>723935750>rare items price go down>uncommon items price increase>tfw only have uncommonsthank you steam. This is a HUGE w
Millions of chinks use this scam as a bank accountMany will kill themselves nowALL HAIL GABEN
So do I hold cases? I have a bunch of them that I never really knew what to do with.
>>723937883always hold cases.
They're insider trading right?
csgo trading seems so lame compared to tf2
>>723937786Once all the skins that can be turned into a knife are bought up and market scarcity on them becomes the norm, the value rubberbands back up. It's not like Valve have increased drop rates from cases to flood the market. In the long run, this clears out unsold skins on the market and leads to them all being more "valuable" eventually.
>>723936646>first company to leverage modern MTX lootbox strategyHappened in China years before TF2.
>tfw you had a m4 howl field tested back in 2013>tfw your friend unboxed one factory new and sold it for $50fucking hell
>>723937973>Once all the skins that can be turned into a knife are bought upso every skin?do you know how many cases are getting opened every minute?
was valve just tired of knives being thousands of dollars or something
Just lost 1k elo after killing a bottom frag faggot who was stealing my elo
>>723937965Holy fuck how much money is in that video?
It was only a bubble. I knew it was going to pop
I bought those 2014 capsules for .25 each lmaoWish I bought more :(
>>723938042>valve prints money>still can't make l4d3 or HL2 episode 3>hasn't made index 2 yetfucking dogshit company
>>723937880I have long suspected that some kind of illegal third world money fuckery has been going on in the Steam Market. Whenever you'd see some random skin sell one for 10x the usual value, that can't be legit. No random is going to spend $100 on a skin that normally sells for $2, yet you see those spikes every once in a while and it rings alarm bells.
>>723938062I'll buy one for like $0.30. Final offer.
>>723938062thats insanei think i held mine for like a month before selling them when they were .50what the fuck my friend all bought 100 or something we could;'ve bought houses what teh actual fuck is with this clown world
>>723938147current price is $125~ each
So do you guys just RMT the knife away or do you just sell one for 5 grand and not worry about having to buy steam games for the rest of your life?
>>723938170my total inventory value is like $25-30k~ right now from a real world investment of $500I was a broke college student back then with only a part time job so I couldn't put in more money at the time
>>723937670The golds will plummet, reds are seeing a good spike now but soon to dip egregiously, the lower tiers are 100% going to shoot up.
>Csgo knives where already somewhat reasonably priced>over the years knife values blew up thanks to cryptobro type investors>valve finally patches this glitch while making reds more valuableBased gabe
So....How high is the death toll going to be from this?
The question here is how much do you value the trust of traders? Because that's the thing most affected by the update.
>>723938060>>723937880>>723937516>>723937315>>723936764>We are selling to willing buyers at the current fair market price!How do you respond without sounding like a mad commie?
>>723938191Yeah that's $124 too much for some stupid fucking pixels on a screen, faggot.
>>723938336nigga whatyou can see whats being traded during a steam trade
>>723938062stickers really do keep on giving
>>723938369not according to the market
>>723938384I mean people invested in the market. What hapoens if they all just start cashing out?
>>723938062>>72393840899% of my inventory's worth is tied to capsules and stickers from 10+ years ago too, should I give a fuck about any of this? I always kept hodling and line went up
>>723938051of course, cause it meant someone would have to give hundreds of dollars to valve just for trading a knife and would prefer selling it on third party sites
>>723938357sorry can't really speak with this noose on me neck

oh no no. valve out here making zoomers and boomers alike experience wall street stock crash.
Okay so real talk. What actually happens to the market?
>>723938689we don't know yetnot every item is affected
>>723930483Are we really shilling for casinos now? Is that the pipeline? Vidya->softcore porn designs in vidya->porn threads->gacha->actual casinos?
>>723938573You're right. $1.00 is too generous. How about $0.05?
>>723938530could be better, could be worse I guess
>>723938689Short term fluctuations that will probably bounce back to the same status quo it has always been in at some point.
>>723938751how much you spend for that though
>poorfags seething over coolchads again
>>723938689It's fucked. I don't think there is any way for it to reasonably recover from this scale of fuck up
>>723938760I predict a lower cap. Might even go down to 4.8B~ next week but the more the grinder grinds skins in trade ups the more the market corrects itself.
>>723938650I'm laughing at you idiots who think this is a crash
>>723938774a couple hundred dollars maybe? trading was fun back in the day
>>723938783poorfags are the ones that won though
NOOOO NOT MY VIRTUAL ITEMS
If a couple of my skins sell tonight, I'm buying Hades 2 and Jurassic World Evolution 3. Haven't even played CS in two years since the "upgrade" to 2 ruined the game.
>>723931865Were you one of them?
>>723938848yeah nicethen just keep holding because we're in the same boat. those capsules we bought back then will never be made again, so the price can literally only go upthere's only ONE time to sell: when you have to
>>723938471people won't trust valve at all now after this update, and there will be less people willing to spend thousands of dollars on expensive capsules and stickers.if they did something like THIS one random day, what's stopping them from adding those capsules and stickers back?
can someone explain why some chest are worth pennies and others 20€+?
>>723938879doesn't apply here since real money is attached to them
>>723935665They're skins. They never had any value.
>>723938937because whats (potentially) in them nigga
>>723938145Wooooooow.Next you will probably figure out the art racket or dip into the world of "charity foundations".
>>723938925the capsules and stickers are time dated, made for an event that will never happen again
>>723938937some chest no new one in many yearsome chest you play you get right now
>>723938910we WILL retire with these capsules after CS3 releases anon, trust the plan

>>723935532I thought it was an ahegao coat
>>723938954you can exhange them to real actual money
>>723938937Cases eventually stop dropping. Discontinued ones from years ago are worth a lot. The dirt cheap ones are the current crop.
>>723938986inshallah brother
Brought 100 4-cent skins. Do we think the souvenir ones will go up or nah?
>>723939015Nothing is being exchanged except the money. The skins aren't real. You're all stupid.
cs2 skin markets are illiquid and volatileI'm surprised this change impacted them much less than I expected
>>723938527>>723938527>>723938527/threadWhat a shitshow, this is fucking embarrassing.
You know what really was valuable? The first pubg case. You could get them by the truck load with ingame currency and less then a year after they stopped being sold in game they where worth 100€, that was 40€ more than the original csgo case in a faction of the time. I wish I had been as addicted to that crappy game like so many others back then
>>723939015>you can exhange them to real actual moneyLaugh at this retard
>>723939051you're playing a retard. I turned my 10 euros I've spent on skins to real 140 euros I can use elsewhere. claiming otherwise is just acting smug and getting lost in technicalities
>>723939051>>723939160unironic poorfag retards
>>723931926I just like to hoard rare shit and show it off when possible :)
what site is best for cashing out?
>>723939160you can though. where is the lie?
>>723939208All the money in the world will not make people like you happy. You're soulless husks.
>>723938979yeah, but people won't trust them now, no one's gonna buy dragon lores or blue gems, it's clear that valve can't be trustedI'm really into cs skins, I lost 7.5k usd myself from this update, if you want my advice, try to sell them soon if you can, this update isn't "just" random, they probably did it because knives were exceeding the steam market price of 2k usd, with this update, valve is assured that people will use the steam market again to buy and sell knives, of which they take a 15% commission of (unlike third party sites that had a 2% commission fee and allowed you to add that money to your bank). They're probably planning on banning third party sites some time soon, that's why they did this, I'd encourage you to sell them soon, while you still can, that's the best advice I can give you anon
>>723935264TF2 market exploded a couple years ago, it was hilarious
>>723938527They must not have been here for the great Gem Jewing during the 2014 Christmas sale.
>>723939271wasn't there also the tradeback thing a couple months ago to fuck over third party sites?
>>723939194You can't use the money anywhere except Steam, and you don't even own your games on it. You're a sucker.>b-but you can sell your Steam accountYeah, for now. What are you going to do when those sites go down?
>>723939245All of them are down. You get to sit here and watch your inventory value drop and you can't do anything about it.
>>723939352The Robinhood tactic from 2021 during the GME run.
>>723939336you are playing dumb. you can sell them on third party sites or just trade to someone and they send you money outside steam.

this change is good for people who actually play the game and don't whale for skins though
>>723939583well. I got my money. I'm not complaining
>>723939602any good crash outs yet?
>>723939646Do you really think CS is still popular because people like to play it? It's just a bunch of jews and crypto jews looking to scam people and make money.
>>723939583nigger are you actually retarded? i don't even play cs and even i know how to sell items on 3rd party sites for real cash
Nice, I had a few discontinued coverts collecting dust in my inventory. I will be selling them for the retards that think these trade ups are good idea. Thanks Valve.
>>723939602Serves every single one of those scum right. They do nothing but promote gambling to kids and try to scam them on the third party skin sites they conveniently and secretly own stake in.
>>723939737he is coping. I think he missed out
>>723939725>steam would never fuck over the players for mone- ACK!
>>723939737You're going to be scammed eventually, then you're going to come crying here like a bitch.
>>723939846lmao ok you are a retard thanks for confirming
>>723939734Same reason anyone still touches TF2.
>>723939829Cryptobros aren't players
>drunk as fuk>decided to play cs for old times>download game>super excited>no dust casual>have to play other gay maps to get to it>voting Wow fuck you valve
>>723939695PSP1G, Duwap, Fl0m.ArrowCS and OhnePixel are going to freak out.Anomaly might actually drive into oncoming traffic like that other CS skins guy.
>>723939734This, I log in every week to grind the case to sell and until I can buy monster hunter wilds dlc for free
genuinely waiting for anomaly and ohnepixel reactions
>>723939917I'd love to think valve is being "based" here and trying to kill the big greedy jews but for fuck's sake, they made the casino in the first placeIt's more likely what anon said >>723936816, a move to make more money flow into steam and less into 3rd party sites
>>723939829literally no one gives a fuck about skin """""""investors""""""""
>>723930248I bet come tomorrow morning we're gonna see a few mcskillet like vehicle accidents from all the big knife/glove investors getting rugged.
>My FN Dragon Tattoo glock is now worth 200 dollarsI appreciate looking at the price of this every couple of years. it was legitimately my favorite skin when I played the game on release.
>>723940032isn't this better for everyone though, regular skins are worth more, knives are more readily available for the average player, and valve will make more money cause the market isn't skewed to knives worth literal thousands.
I MISSED OUT FUCK
>>723938357Nobody's gonna buy anything from us ever again...
>>723940103only if you assume people cared about the skins and not the monetary value associated with them
>>723940056Literally the first skin I got, and the only skin I didn't sell when I tried to buy a knife from all the crap in my inventoryI'm glad I kept it
>>723939695Skip to 2:10:00twitch.tv/videos/2598826803
>>723940180i think more vastly people care about the skin than the monetary value and the only reason you would assume they don't is because the large majority of skins and knives are literally inaccessible to anyone reasonable, the only people who disagree with this are people that actively invest into pixels
>>723939508can't find a single mention of what percent they take on the whole sitemust be fucking garbage
>>723940256like we can literally just look down the asile at valorant, people pay fucking 50 dollar for a skin pack and you can't even trade it
>>723940256>believing this when knives are thousands of dollars.kekarooo. people buy and hold them because they appreciate in value. no one is gonna buy shit if they lose money holding a stupid knife.
>>723939695CooperTV is freaking the fuck out right now.
>>723940309They're also extremely fomo because they're limited time items
ETA on gabens assassination by some skins junkie?
>>723940379>no one is gonna buy shit if they lose money holding a stupid knife.lol? there is no way you actually believe this, you have the entire existence of microtransactions working against you here, people buy things because they want them not because they will cost more later, but most people literally cannot justify spending 2000 dollars on a singular item. why the fuck do you think valve is doing this if not to get more people to purchase knives/keys so they have a better chance of getting them. it's literally the easiest conclusion you can make.
>>723940379What the fuck is kekarooo?What are you, a fucking rooster?
>>723935264valve forgot tf2 existed like, 6 years ago.
>>723940472they are fomo but they do come back
>>723940510Again, most people don't want hold knives/skins if they have to end up losing money by holding them.
>>723940510your shitty pixels crashing 70% already disproves your claim.
>>723940507I'd actually have my head on a swivel if I were him. Valve is fucking with Saudi princes' money right now and he spends most of his time in international waters.
he knew...https://youtu.be/3gvrAnAHy5M
>>723940572>Again, most people don't want hold knives/skins if they have to end up losing money by holding themmost people playing csgo do not actively invest into skins in the way you think they do that is an incredibly small number of people comparatively. and clearly valve does not give a fuck about them if they are doing this>>723940628>your shitty pixels crashing 70% already disproves your claim.take an econ class
>>723938303That's fair because you planned it out but I really just bury my head in the sand and refuse to accept I have missed out on a comfortable life because of my own lack of focus.
>>723930248cs2 market is effectively dead. every week tons of common weapons(blues) drop which now will be possible to trade up (craft) for a knife/glove, botfarms will make everything worthless.
OH NONONONONONONONONONONO!!!!!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yi_7LVk0IoM
>>723940749im so happy all these cs2 gambling youtubers got fucked but he truth is they probably made millions in the last decade already
>>723940749How much is he coping right now?
>>723940628>supply of knives going up means their prices will go downwho coudlve guessed this?>red items being used to make knives will make red items rise in price as now there is a red item sink people will actually want to dowho couldve guessed this?
>>723940707droppable skins dont have knives in their collection
>>723932868nobody likes you
>>723940792valvethey want prices to stabilize at steam market values so people stop using third party sites
>>723940707How many blues do you need? Let's say 450, that's 13~USD if you can get all the blues for .03 cents. Is it possible?
>>723940695Unless you a thirdy, an extra 25-30k isn't going to give you a "comfortable life".
>>723940695this defeatist attitude people have is something I'll never understandit's not like its impossible to still get rich or get a comfortable life. there's more opportunity in the world than ever before. if you have the resources and time to shitpost on 4chan, you have every opportunity to achieve anything you want lock the fuck in retard
Thank you valve for curing my decade long sunk cost fallacy. I won
>>723940792reds' prices right now are not sustainable. shit ton of them are still being unboxed as we speak. There are also millions of them unboxed from before. Expect more pain your gloves/knives, unless Valve unrelease this update.
>>723940858yeah your average /v/ faggot retard doesn't understand basic economics, the only people this hurts are people that invest into fucking pixels
>>723940869You need 5^4, or 625. There are no more blues selling for 3 cents anymore, the cheapest I could find were 10 and rising
>>723940925they didnt even bother asking 10 red skins lmao only 5 XD insane...
>>723940869No, case blues are normally more than 3cents
>>723940925i'm not gonna disagree that it's unsustainable but that is still going to be the outcome, right now people are panic selling/buying so obviously things are going to be inflated. but the point still stands, valve wants knives to be cheaper and reds to be more valuable so more people buy keys/from the steam market instead of 3rd party.
>>723940683just saying a timmy buying a $500 knife is going to want his money back when he is bored with it. or else he is not going to be buying shit at all in the first place.
>>723940890I'm quite literally mentally ill with less than $1000 in my bank account and I have been unemployed for 4 years, I pay maybe $20 a month for groceries and my apartment bills are paid for by my governments unemployment benefits. I have no money whatsoever.>>723940892What can I do though? Go into crypto at this point? People lose everything in crypto.
>>723941040$20 a week for groceries* I meant to typeI make about $500 a month doing online surveys.
>>723941028timmy is going to buy a 500$ knife and then forget about it later and sell it for 250$ when he's bored of it and not think twice. you have a very narrow understanding on how retarded people are with microtransactions. again people spend hundreds on items they can't even fucking trade to begin with across the entire video game landscape.
>>723940961How is that insane? It'd literally not be worth to trade up red if you needed 10 of them
>bought gloves at $250>sold them at $1,200 cause china did some bullshit>put all that money back into gloves and knivesFUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
Just got a bunch of cheap as fuck pinks and blues lmaoYou guys shpuld have done this hours ago
>>723941113While you are not wrong, it's incredibly hard to judge -when- timmy is going to get bored of his knife and he will always market it to whoever instead of sell it to youyou can make money trading skins but you have to work at it
>>723941127oh no no no
>>723940790
made so much $$$ with this shit in 2023-2024. Glad I hopped out when mainstream went all in
>>723941174enjoy holding it for a week to see it crash below your buy in
so does this mean I can get a bayonet or karambit fade for cheap? cuz i might return to the game
>>723941090>I make about $500 a month doing online surveys.What’s it called? I might be interested in doing a sidegig like that for some extra bucks, doesn’t sound like it’s a lot of effort
>>723941040>>What can I do though? Go into crypto at this point? People lose everything in crypto.are you stupid?stop trying to find shortcutsif you're serious I want you to think about a few things:1.imagine you had perfect and unlimited discipline, would you still be poor then? there's no fucking way right?2. after a certain point of volume and iterations it become UNREASONABLE for you NOT to succeedgain knowledge, gain a valuable skill, get really fucking good at it. literally ask chatgpt, explain your entire situation and ask how to change it, it can unironically fix your life. doors will open after that.and consume as much as Alex Hormozi's content as you humanely can
havent bothered with CS outside of source since 2014, what the actual fuck are these things?
>>723941301probably but you should wait for the market to stabilize first
>>723941174I got every pink skin I ever wanted for like ~$20
>>723941305just google "online studies for money" or "online surveys for money" and unironically use the reddit "beermoney" subreddit, some people make thousands a month conbining everything, but just be aware an actual rewarding career or regular ass job is going to be better
>oh noooo the 6b market cap will just be 4.5b now nooooooooooooGood. This shit is as retarded as the AI bubble.And the sad part is these tradeups won't be enough to actually crash it.
>>723941346I have perfect unlimited discipline to a point, I had mental health problems that made me lose two jobs and you don't just recover immediately from that, it makes you think you're worthless.
>>723941641The """market""" is already down one BILLION. It's way too fucking late.
can some cs2 dude tell me what I should be buying rn?
>5 reds = craft a knifeis valve retarded? unboxing a knife is impossible low odds. but now you can just craft them with 5 reds?Did they think this through before they did this update?Imagine if in TF2 you could craft 5 rare unboxes into an unusual hat.>knife prices crashedwhy isnt there a huge revolt right now?
>>723941961buy stattrak reds
>>723940749>loud=funny
>>723941961shares of palantir and nvidia not this fucking shit thats for sure
>>723941961Wait a day or two. Buy a knife for $5. Put money in your steam wallet now, if you haven't already.
>>723941964>is valve retarded?you might be the retarded one anon if you can't see what they are doing
>>723942023God no, Nvidia might crash soon
>crypto crash>csgo market crashi just need tcgs to crash into bear market so scalpers fuck off and die. im talking mtg/pokemon.
>>723942085shits never going down dude they're one of two gpu companies in the world and the only one that exclusively makes gpus, they have no competition
>>723941651>I have perfect unlimited discipline to a pointlmao by definition you don't if it's up to a point. and what have you done with that so called perfect and unlimited discipline? did you use it to make yourself more valuable?I'm getting tired of this back and forth but if you make excuses then it's 100% your fault that you're stuck in life and you've already lost. assume that you do have it harder than other people and that you have mental illness or whatever other ailment that cripples you compared to most, ok then what? you don't have to recover from that immediately or even next month or next year but eventually you have to pick yourself up and move forward, when you're ready to. I literally gave you a cheat code plan for how to fix your life and the first thing you replied with was an excuse instead of trying itpeople are LITERALLY making million dollar businesses by themselves because they're asking chatgpt the right questions and more importantly, taking action
will they adjust the red unbox rate to compensate???
>>723942242compensate for what
>>723942023>>723942140>nvidia have no competition umm what about Amd?
>>723935717>What the fuck are you even supposed to do in this situation unless you’re glued to the screen 24/7?Not operate in markets that don't have trading windowsThere's a reason why Wall Street still opens and closes every day even though it could be 24/7
>>723942164>people are LITERALLY making million dollar businesses by themselves because they're asking chatgpt the right questions and more importantly, taking actionI'm not one of them though
>>723942268their insane value relative to their unbox rate?
>>723942349you can't ever be if you don't want to be
>>723942360what value?
>>723931865it's not rape if you want it'statutory rape' literally means required rape
>>723942349>>723942164And to add, the only thing i ever did that required discipline and effort was getting accepted into college, but I dropped out and that was over 10 years ago.
>>723938357>You are ruining the entire economy of the world for years because you got extra greedy 5 years agoAnd then you hang him from a lamppost. Corporations cannot be people because you cannot execute a corporation for its crimes
>>723931865What if one of them was going to be the next Hitler?
>>723942360that will completely defeat the point of what valve wants to do, they want to move people to unbox and buy from the market place more, not push people even further away as it stands pre this update.
suspiciously timed with US trade with with china. privately traded US company fucking over billions of dollars of chinese knife holders. Huh, funny thing
>>723942384Like I said I lost two jobs and I feel like nobody wants to hire me or even likes me in life, I am mentally ill and I fail to see the point in getting mega rich, you can't buy a loving wife and children.
give a realistic number for how much the price of knives will be a week from now. i always wanted a butterfly
>>723931865Yeah but the casino thing was pretty bad.
>>723942460>Loony is off his meds again
>>723939829Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.
>>723942272amd arent as popular or as cool as nvidia and they dont just make gpus they make cpus too, nvidia is a purely gpu business and the only company in the world really that is, what else is there, intel?
>>723942406>>723942463why are you saying any of this? you ignored the prescription to get everything you wantyou know what you're supposed to be doing if you want to change your life situationbut you're not. if you just want to complain then that's the life you chose, it's not much more complicated than that>you can't buy a loving wife and childrenthis so laughably wrong I audibly chuckled in real life lmao
>>723942164>>723942349Isn’t it generally agreed that chatgpt basically just a crutch though, which is bad for you long term, and even moreso in professional settings? And it’s always better to properly learn things by yourself instead of relying on a chatbot?
>>723942164>people are LITERALLY making million dollar businesses by themselves because they're asking chatgpt the right questions and more importantly, taking actionwhat, being an engagement baiter on twitter?
>>723942490Hopefully 2014 pricesButterflies used to be 120€
>>723942490it's kinda hard to say right now cause people are panic buying and selling. we also need to see how much supply this actually generates
>>723942570yes that's the only possible way to do itexactlyfucking retard
>>723942526See you in six months.
>>723942557>why are you saying any of this?Because I fucking hate seeing other people have easier lives than me.
please gaben rerelease old TF2 haloween effects and spells for the giggles
>>723942621>>Because I fucking hate seeing other people have easier lives than me.ok but thats the life you chose by doing the same shit every day for yearsso it doesn't make any sense for you to complain about it now
>>723942618What happens in 6 months? You going into hybernation or something?
>>723942679You don't know my life nor do you have any idea what my life "used to be" like, did you forget the fact I told you I was a college student? Or the fact I said I was mentally ill?
>>723942671they already gave you 100% unusual unbox rate for a day bruv, what more would you ever want
>>723942671Please God, make them do this.
>>723942708iykyk
>>723942679That's why I don't contribute to society, because it's populated by selfish retards.
>>723942807I have 2 questions and I don't want you to dodge them:1. do you think there's ever been anyone who's had it worse than you in every way possible, every way imaginable and still succeeded with a happy ending? Answer this question with a yes or no2.If you tried to shoot a basketball from half court and didn't give up after 100 times, or 1000 times, or 10,000 times and actually tried to iterate and learn from every missed shot, would you eventually make that shot? Answer this, don't weasel
>>723942845traders who hoard these items keep inflating them
>>723942937These are not even real prices. They just sell to their friends in circles, lol.
>>723942921the irony of this post is highlighted by the fact that I'm using my time and energy that I'll never get back to try and convince someone that thinks they can't, that they canall for nothing in return, like at all
>>723934953>the only reason you open cases is for that juicy gold gold gold payday>as much as we hate gamblingmental illness. Show the updoots, wimp.
>>723942526fucking retard. You have no idea what's going on
>>723930248Caring about collectors and the market is how you get Magic The Gathering
>>723942971The haloween prices have inflated across the board it's not just 'friends' trading each other
so just some basic math on case opening odds get you to about an extra 0.8 knives via trade ups per knife unboxed. Knife (& gloves) prices go down massively (like 40% lmfao) but other rarities go up in price to compensate. Meaning prices arent so high on a lot of knives and more steam marketplace sales instead of on 3rd party. I can't stop laughing, we all told you investing in skins was a joke
>>723943169>like 40% lmfaoim down 75% on my knives
>>7239429341. I believe I am a broken human being.2.I would make it yes, replace the basketball with idk, baking loaves of bread and selling them, I would succeed and make money. Would I ever get rich from it though? No, people wouldn't let me.>>723943042People are currently getting shot and their children are being shelled by russia in some parts of the world, if you think talking to me is bad it's really not compared to the actions of other people.
I'm trying to understand the market as a non CS player - why the hell are some purples and even blues increasing tenfold and others stay the same?
>>723943305>>723942934Sorry I will answer your first question: no.I believe that my life underwent a unique set of circumstances to prevent me from ever being truly happy.
>>723930248I couldn't be happier. These fucking skins for Digital weapons shouldn't even be worth a single cent. imagine dropping a thousand on digital pistol instead of real one.
>>723943262I was going to say that its just panic selling and that itll stabilize. But then I realized you can trade up from weekly drops too lolololol.Yeah its ogre
>>723936426Fucking based
Best thing I ever got was this.Man, CS used to be fun.I might give it a go again some day.
>>723943169>everyone wins but pixel investorsactual good update
>>723943329Different shades of bluesone blue type is from cases which can be traded up to knivesthe other blue type is from game drops which can't get traded up to knives
>>723943525can you tell me what I should be looking for?

>>723943042>>723942934It seems you've stopped responding I guess I was annoying you.That's fair, just understand my story that my life was ruined and I was never given a fair chance to recover.
>>723943696Definitely talking about himself
>>723943454Yep valve employees + bot farms colluding for epic money. Same as they do with cheat providers. Hope to never meet a valve employee because it's KOS (kill on sight)
>>723943696lmao what the fuck is this guys problem>more people get to have knifes and their skins will now have more value>BUT THINK OF THE PEOPLE THAT WILL HURT THEMSELVESjfc
>>723943454>But then I realized you can trade up from weekly drops too lolololol.YGo on, try to get a knife with only those, I'll wait
>>723943732>lmao ok, so in ALL of human history through ALL time and every location, you're unironically claiming that nobody has ever had it worse than you?So my dad is a self made millionaire, kind of textbook came from nothing, made everything, at one point in his life he got my mother pregnant and I am his bastard child, who he never met and I only know him from him reaching out to me in my 20s, to which everybody in life decided I was worthless and idk, I deserve to die because he didn't want me.>do you understand this isn't compatible with logic?I'm unwanted by everybody, it's perfectly logical.
>>723943525OH NO NO NO THEYRE PANICKING(these were selling for over $500 yesterday)
>>723943696I would maybe sympathize if this was crypto instead of it being fucking skins from weapons in game and old one, that retards decided should be worth hundreds and thousands of dollars.
>>723943696it's good they just crashed it and get it over with. the longer the market goes on, the more pain there will be once it crashed.
>>723943714Man I still feel lost, thanks for the help tho.Why did this one go up so muchhttps://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/730/MAG-7%20%7C%20Sonar%20%28Factory%20New%29but this one didn't https://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/730/Galil%20AR%20%7C%20Destroyer%20(Factory%20New)
I hope the few people who made this into business saved good cash before it collapses.
>>723939725>amazon and meta compared to valve>two companies that are worth hundreds of billions of dollars and control many services used daily around the globe and by billions>services that fuck everything else if something goes down(the recent aws event, the one with meta years ago)>valve>just games>if it goes down you can't just play multiplayer games or some shitYeah real big tech monopoly there. I swear the people on that site are actually more stupid than those that are actually retarded.
>someone out there is considering suicide over the lose of value in a video game skin
>>723943930Lolno, fuck you and fuck crypto.
>>723934843valve has no rmt policyall risk is on you

>>723943975Because it was already a high value skin, meaning there where less of them available being sold

>>723944261Maybe they are worthless.It’s easy to think “everybody” hates you, when in reality it’s on like five people maybe you’ve known for a long time.You can’t really control what other people think. Besides, how they feel is worthless. Go after something that’s worth something, like CS skins. Oh wait
>>723944276Based payback coiner, I too did not enjoy those shitty maps to put enough hours to level up the coin past bronze
>>723944304You'd do better finding people to talk to on Reddit, unironically than 4chan. Or work in a hospital or something or somewhere where people befriend their co-workers.

LOL
>>723930248i'm 100% positive that some major chinese investors have already acked themselves.What do you guys think?
>market cap down 17% from all time high earlier this weekLMAO GET FUCKED
>>723930248>mfw my knife, gloves, printstream, asiimov, bloodsport are gonna be worth less than a shitty red skin that was 3 dollars I don't care I got all of those like 5 years ago for like 200 dollars total, and I'm barely playing CS2
>>723936646nothing you said makes any sense
>>723944868No, only your knives and gloves are going down, your asiimov and shit are gonna go up more, and if there are enough retards trading rare as fuck asiimovs for shitty gut knives yours will be worth even more
>>723930248The price of knives and gloves has been out of hand for years it's good they finally ripped off the bandaid
My M9 bayonet I won on CSGO lounge like a decade ago lost 1K of value in a day.Crazy that people genuinely invest in shit like this.
>>723934953No, you are retardedStop pretending you ever gave a shit about any of these skins before today, because you would have already picked them up with they were 20 cents for the last years
Should have invested in old TF2 halloween unusuals instead, it's free money
>>723945000knives and gloves going down also means the things you use to trade them up to also go down, anon-kun. sell your shit when you still have the chance.
>>723935717>>723937379So it's all just arbitrage because of some new system they put in place and the ones most affected are the retards that were playing stocks with knife skins.I can see why they would spread as much FUD as possible to try to pressure Valve into reverting this change
>>723938145Is $100 a lot of money to you or something? Are you even 18 yet?
>>723931865Epstein Island is cringe because I wasn't invited
Oh look out, it’s mister billionaire over here. A hundred ain’t nothing to him
>>723945168>overpaying the market price in an open markey by 5000% is normaluh huh. retard
>be me>open 1000s of cases>always sell my rares for more key money>accumulate 6 knives>ok just barely breaking even>VOLVO UPDATE>now im down 80%FUCK YOU YOIU FUCKING NIGGERS FUCK WHY WHY DO YOU FUCK OVER YOYUR LONG TERM FAN BASE WHY YOU ARENT EVEN PUBLICLY TRADED THERES NO SHAREHOLDER VALUE EXCUSE WHY VALUEWHY DO THIS TO ME
>>723943165It's friends trading to each other, same as halloween paintThey get outed almost every single month and its always some tranny edating scandal but nobody gives a shit about tf2 anymore
>I have exclusively hoarded cases and nothing elseKEKAROOOOOOO
>>723935264The ones to benefit the most from the crate depression were the traders buying and dumping nonlimited unusuals to tradingbots and sites. Poors didn't even have authenticator before Valve shut it down
>>723930248Good. There's no reason virtual items should be thousands of dollars. Hopefully they'll do something similar to the old Halloween unusuals in TF2. These autistic faggots deserve to have the value of their inventories wrecked.
This is a fun thread to read. The only winning move is not to gamble
>>723945273So someone send $100 (minus fees) to someone else in the most retarded way possible, big fucking deal.This is definitely some sort of crime
im actually going to cry valve was the last company i expected to fuck me in my ass every other company has done it why valve. Why gabe. I'm actually tears in my eyes. FUCK i've loved you for 20 years. Most of my life. Now it ends like this . Fuck man. FUCK theres noithing left I'm 30+ virgin. FUCK
>>723945325Based box seller, why hoard shit that keeps increasing in numbers when you can hoard the one type of item that actually decreases
>>723945396Genuinely the single most stable item in the market. Whenever I want a new game I just pluck some old operation cases to sell.
>>723945382fees are 15% lmao, you are actually mentally disabled. theres nothing normal there
im fucking crying not becuase i lost my money becuase thee snothing left theres nowhere to post its all bots there no game companys left they all shareholder value theres fucking NOTHING i cant buy a fucking new graphics card because ai theres fucking owherere for me to post Im fucking done there snohing left not even valve they are finished I knew for a hile this would hapen buet fuck im done im fucking done FUCK theres nothing left in my life thats pure theres nothing .Really nothing. Valve was the last thing. Gabe bro why . WHY please revert. pl;ease tell me its one rogue dev. Please bro I emailed you when I was 10 in 2002 I ve playedevey game and eveymod why. Why
Are knife prices gonna tank even more after 7 day trade ban is up? Would quick selling my M9 Stained for 300$ be enough to get a better knife like doppler or fade in 7 days?
>>723939583>>723939846>SPICSPICSPICSPICSPICSPICGod i hate thirldworlder like this so much and only hispanic talk like this, they're always acting like smug piece of shit
>>723933767If he has never played a valve game beforewhich means he's probably a zoomer or a thirdie then that could mean anything from p2w skins with extra stats to some in-game market that you use virtual fake money on since that's basically what gaming is now. None of this makes any sense to people who have never touched cs or tf2 before since cosmetics in modern vidya are almost always account bound.
>crypto crashing hard>btc about to break 103000 resistance>gold crashing>stocks have been in the red for a while>cs knives crashingThis is the Golden Bear, and its beautiful
>>723945550The chinese try to stabilize the market when stuff like this happens, by buying stuff once it gets low enough, this drives prices higher and makes people reconsider before the 7 day cooldown runs outIf the sell pressure is too high (which hasnt happened since the cooldown) it will just shit down real hard, you have no idea how many useless shitty reds there are out there
I just sold all of my boxes 3 days agoWhy do the Bogs still mock me even to this day
>>723930248This shit was an April fools joke years ago now it's actually reality.What the fuck? Value must be getting threatened by some world government to stop case gambling the price of knives might not recover from this.
>>723945550nobody knows, however, europe is still sleeping rn and thats the main cs population. give it another 90 minutes, the market is going to move a bunch soon
>>723945614>>723945550It's really just a question of how hard the tradeup grinder decimates the amount of reds/pinks/purps in the market then it stabilizes again. Market cap definitely isnt reaching 6b again though THANKFULLY.
>>723940246>the moment he refresheskek
>>723942427Now it's gonna be double Hitler from the trauma
>>723938408i opened one of those cobblestone souvenir packages when they were 25 a piecegot a mac10 that looked like someone vomitted over it
>>723945678>price of knives might not recover from thisValve could not give less of a shit, they profit either way
>>723945804The souvenir boxes are worth more than the skins 99%of the time
>>723945819>>723945678Tanking the price of knives was always the plan.
So all the good red skins won't be put in the grinder but value may be less then previous, but all the dogshit ones will increase in value for fodder for these new contracts. And then the value could triple for them if they are part of a good collection that has gamma/dopplers. The main concern with that is how much will it tank knife prices.
>>723930248hes powering the entirety of hell with his spinning as we speak
can you trade up to blue gem karambits?has anyone checked
>>723945819Yeah but after this fuck you, the 90% of player base are gonna be poor thirdies, everyone else with money is gonna pull out of CS2 or not spend a dime anymore, this will also affect the popularity of game in modern culture
>>723945878a dragonlore was over 1000 at that point
>>723946014Only the retards that invested in knives.
One pixel stock market crash suicide confirmed lmao
>>723946014I always find it funny when you thirdies acting like cs skins is a real investment market call others poor
>>723931784>check the frontpage on steam marketNo thanks, I'm white.
>>723945973Just got a Gamma Doppler so yea why wouldn't you.
I got like 40$ on my wallet, how the fuck do i cash in on this?
>>723946302Too late. Most reds are now above that.
988
It was always weird to me that golds were way too hard to get.It's good that you can actually realistically get a decent knife now without selling an arm and a leg.
>>723945908the mcskillet update kek, I guess some people with a lot of reds got a mclaren today
kek
>>723931865You didn't care when Biden and every president before him was doing it.
>>723938059Not that anon but Scorching Flames Shooter's Tin Topi is like 40 keys (~85 usd) and unusual taunts aren't really that expensive. Still a nice loadout
>>723946540I fucking love panic sellers lmao.
>>723930248You trade skins you deserve to be shoah'd.
>>723946538Now gold skins which are 0.2% chance to pull will be worth less than red and pink which are 2.5/5%
LOL 50% AND UP CLEARANCE SALE. EVERYTHING MUST GO!
>>723945609and yet Monero is STILL crabbing
>>723946643kys
>>723943796he unironically is, that guy is a famous streamer who has like hundreds of thousands in his cs inventory and was looking to completely cash out to buy a house
>>723946619Are you constantly exaggerating because you're a child or is it just now from seething at the update? In no world will knives be worth less than reds and pinks
>>723935717just fucking imagine that you could trade stuff up into unusuals in tf2.
>>723946739>bagholder seethingironic, I think its you who is gonna be roping soon lmfao
I don't play csWhat is the update?
>>723946739Lmao, point and laugh at this nft cucklord
>In 7 days time, all the bootleg knifes will be unleashed on the market.Actually wonder what the floor will be for knifes and if it's better to just wait it out during the mass hysteria.
>>723946828You cant trade instantly weapons from a contract?
>>723946828inb4 gut knife safari mesh 5$
>>72394682870% drop.
>Panic buy a few reds to see if it is real>Do trade up>Get gamma doppler emerald for a shit knifeI actually wonder if I will make able to make profit from this.
>>723946878No, 7 day wait.
>only 1 crashout clip I am just gonna guess most of the skiniggers just hanged themself
>>723946974Damn, and the market is already crashing this hard? Lmao
>>723947009This is just the initial reactionary panic.Gotta wait a week and a half to see the real fallout.
>>723935717>predict stuff>as a trader? ever heard the term speculative market?
>>723947009The market is crashing due to speculation on how low it will go. We dont know if its an overreaction or not yet. But its safe to say prices will a huge amount down from the peak
>>723935854Kill yourself zoomer
>>723942289Isnt nasdaq thinking of going 24/7 tho?
>>723947135*will stay a huge amount
>>723947009>>723947135Wait for how the chinks will react.
>>723935854This site is 34+Fuck off zoomer shit
>Inb4 valve emergency rollbackBUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY
>>723947053I pray it crashes harder, knives being unobtainium is annoying. Paying more than I pay for physical collectors editions of games is insane. Maybe I'll buy a safari mesh flip knife again if it goes back to being 40€ again
>>723947180chinks are already awake. its the euros who need to wake up
>>723947206>40€It will be much less
>>723947292Stop, I can only get so erect!
>>723931865Source? Biden's daughter wrote that she was diddled and forced to shower with her dad. What kids have come out about Trump diddling them?
>>723946739nice bags
>>723947292I wish.
>>723947292no way, supply of red skins isnt endless100% sure it will stabilize again when the panic sellers are done
>>723947364There are loads of them since up until now it was the max trade up possible
Someone make a new thread I love vidya /biz/ shit
>>723947414yeah and they increased in price 10x by now too
>>723947364Yea of course, but when the floodgates open people will panic. Reds have a 0.64% chance of opening. The supply of these cheap reds won't last forever so the price will go up again for knives eventually. But in 7 days time when all the new knifes flood the market due to abundance of shitty red supply the price for knifes will drop to low lows.
>>723943165I have a shit ton of Halloween spelled items. Where do I sell them for lots of money.
>>723942671imagine if they re released collectors kits
B-bros.. do I sell my (previous) 500euro knife?Or is this all just panic selling and it'll go back to normal...
>>723947551Sure but imagine how many knives where made by the hundreds of 1€reds that just got bought?
Good.Fuck all these skintraders into poverty. Starting price for knives should be <100€ like how it used to be.
>>723932283>>723932868>>723942403>>723942495>>723945227>
>>723930248Just did a trade up contract for fun, spent $140, got a m9 bayonet case hardened with almost all gold and low float ft. Pretty cool.
>>723947775me in the middle
>>723947580yeah, for a short time since the supply of reds is limitedthis isnt going to last forever, just an influx of more knives/gloves
>>723947775chads
kinda insane
>retards spreading FUD over the marketNewsflash retards Valve will still continue to exist and continue supporting this garbage casino of a game which means it will stabilizeSee you retards at the tables again>t. $0 """invested""" in this retarded shit
>>723948158Just goes to show how bloated these prices are
>>723948204no retardthats how markets work
>>723948204Idk why people say thispre-2020 prices of knives were actually retardedly cheap, people were just clueless
>>723943696Can't wait until someone shoots up Valve HQ
>>723948301fortunately nobody will be killed since all the valve employees are now retiring with their nest egg via mass buying reds yesterday
I am fucking baffled people actually treated CS skins as legit investments.I just collected cases so I can use them to buy games.
>>723948417do you think everyone lives your life?do you think there aren't people that made a lot of money investing in CS skins?are you actually retarded?
>>723948415There already conspiracy theorists that think valve employees hoarded shit to sell when the update came lmao
>>723948296>video game skins where treated as video game skins instead of babie's first stock marketPre 2020 price where correct prices
>>723948417its the chinese
>>723948496Bro it's one thing to use CS skins to make money, it's another to literally stock up on skins as some sort of fucking retirement fund.
>>723948518Yea, the million a year wage devs really needed those 200€ from their skin sales...
>>723948521They always had real monetary value and when the community needs to spend fucking $2500 in keys alone for one knife to be unboxed, then I don't know why it is considered so outrageous for a desirable one to cost $1000
>>723948612you couldve made millions if youd know this beforehand, some things went from 1-2$ to 50$ in mere hours
>>723948685There are only like a couple of CS devs and theyve been at vakve long enough to be millionaires
>Gaben just killed more chink than some civil warsI kneel
Whatever happened to diversifying your assets?
>>723948664By that logic it costs 2000€ to get a red so why are there reds at 1€? Could it possibly be that knives are bloated to hell and back because of crypto tard investors?
>>723948810cause nobody wants a red p2k or shotgun
>>723947364it is literally endless. millions and millions more will keep getting unboxed. there's no stopping that train.
>>723947364do you have any idea how many formerly worthless red skins were sitting in inventories because you couldnt trade them up and nobody wanted them?
Oh cool I bought this skin for 5 bucks 10 years agoShould I just sell it or wait for a right moment?I don't care about cs go related things anymore..
>>723949041>>723949151opening a red is 0.64%, a gold is 0.26%there isnt an endless supply
what is the CS2 marketcap now?
>>723949291sell, the red price is already dropping from the peak as people realize how worthless knives are getting relative to 5 reds
>>723949354Buddy, we can trade up the entire fucking stack, there's a bigger reason than ever before to trade up to reds
>>723944447How do jaded nihilists like this even enjoy lifeDo they enjoy life at all
>>723949354add in pink at 3.2% which get traded up at 10:1. Everyone who traded up to try and get a printsteam m4 and got an ugly ass glock now gets to turn that into a knife lol
>>723947327>and forced to shower with her dadand? I was forced to shower with my mom until i was around 15
