>valve can just make your $1k virtual knife worth one dollarWhy is this allowed?
>>723973432not your knife
I don't know. Why should I care?
>>723973432I can get knife skins for just a dollar now?
>>723973432Get a life, bin that knife t.gaben
>>723973432You will own NOTHING.
>>723973432what happened?
>>723973556Because it's funny
>>723973880Valve made a $1k virtual know worth one dollar.
>>723973928how?
>>723973432because it's based
>>723973432because it's fun
>>723973432speculators are idiots, and idiots deserve to lose all of their money
>>723973432gabe grew tired of third worlders getting rich from his virtual items
>>723973975You can do trade ups. Lesser value knives for single better knife. This ofcourse will "flood" the market and devalue the old rare knives.
>>723973602at end of month, prob
if this is such a big deal why is the thread dead
>>723974279So like scrapping in tf2?
>>723975371Because there's already 5 other threads and the people who cared already killed themselves.
>>723975446Kind of, but you are guaranteed an "unusual" when crafting a new "hat".
>>723973432Are the suicides real or not, its all i care about
>>723973880>>723973975you have been able to exchange like 5 or 10 skins from a certain rarity for 1 weapon of the next rarityyou would exchange 5/10 purples for one redThis would stop at reds. You could not exchange reds for the next ones (yellow/gold)Now you canAnd people are panicking, the price of gold skins has plummetedThe price of reds and old skins skyrocketedchink, ruiskies, and arab hoarders are on suicide watch
>>723975624Alledgedly we got one. >>723971181
>>723973432>$1k>virtual Yeah, I have a million dollar virtual house kekGet real, anon.
>>723975701>chink, ruiskies, and arab hoarders are on suicide watchGOOOD! Im hoping this will reduce the amount of these fucking third world niggers you see in game.
GOOD GET FUCKED
Couldn't you only sell these for Steam wallet money? Can you even refund your steam wallet back to your bank acount?
All because that one coffezilla video.
>>723975371Singleplayer + gacha board, this place is full of shitters and poorfags who can't into modern CS.
If a change affects mostly indians, it's probably a good change.
>>723973880Gaben added a QoL feature that broke the CS2 skin market so rare shit thats apparently worth several thousand dollars loses value because its not that rare anymore.Honestly, fine by me. This might actually make autoaim bot item farms, and scammers, less and less profitable, thus less of them in the game.This market was pretty exploitable too, and having people be retarded enough to actually buy a virtual cosmetic at the price of a bike has been an issue for years.The only ones who gets screwed were the ones who were holding this shit in stock hoping to sale.
NO CRYING IN THE CASINO
>>723973432Turns out speculating on ornamental digital items is actually fucking retarded.
>>723973432TRADEFAGS BTFO
>>723973432I love John Valve, he's a cool guy.
I quit playing this game before 1.6 was even a thing. Im glad you got burned. Valve ruined my game decades ago when they let you brown knife farmers in. HaHa.
>>723973880The slaves became the masters of the market.
>>723973432>be chinese>bitcoin and crypto is heavily restricted>better dump all my savings into digital knives>what could go wrong?
>play stupid games, win stupid prizesKEK
if you wasted real money on skins you deserve much worse
>>723977906based take
>>723973432Maybe don't put all your eggs in the one basket of a virtual knife that can go from thousands of dollars to one at the drop of a hat? So refreshing seeing all the skin trading shitskins get shafted lmao
>>723978101>>723978231dollsrs
>>723973432>muh monopoly money
>>723976030You don't sell them on steam, retard.
>>723973432>spending money on NFT's
I honestly never thought Valve would do anything about this. I'm amazed it even took this long.
>>723973432If your price is exclusively buoyed by scarcity, it's nobody's fault if someone removes scarcity and your shit becomes worthless. The plague of artificial scarcity should be annihilated, the greatest scam in human history.
>>723973432Because it's based Fuck knife trading faggots They deserve the rope
I don’t understand the virtual knife economy, but this just sounds like third worlder shit to me. Sorry about your hundred bucks or whatever.
>>723973432CS skins are the stock market for 3rd world subhumans.
>>723973432These are the retards who defended their DRM cuckbox non-stop on /v/.No refunds faggots and enjoy your worthless NFTs.
>>723973432Fuck those gay gamblers
>>723973432fucking lmao
>>723973432>investors pulling outvalve isnt even publicly traded
>i "invest" in cs skinsFunniest shit
Made 70 dollarydoos, thanks Valve!
>>723973432
>>723975701Couldn't they just trade those up for the next tier to preserve the value or am I missing something?
>>723986274golden knives/gloves are the last tierwhich is why the hoarders got away with inflating the prices so muchbut now little timmy can potentially get their $5k knife for like 50 bucks
TOTAL TRADER DEATH.
>>723973432Letting third worlders on the internet was a mistake.
>>723973432As the leftists love to say, it's a private company they can do whatever they want chud.
>>723978361dollars are imaginary
>faggots who pay real money for virtual cosmetics getting BTFO yet again
it turns out virtual videogame knives aren't a wise investment.... shame.........................
What's happening here
>valve did the most based and objectively good thing they ever could've with their virtual economy, and chose to crash it themselvesgood. let these faggots suffer.Now do this to team fortress 2 and make keys as worthless as scrap metal.
>>72398777210 red skins can be used to craft a knife/glovesred skins from specific crates that used to be cheap as hell (because people opened a shitload of them for the specific knives they dropped) skyrocketed (so people could use them to craft those knives)
>>723986521Oof thats rough.
>>723987869Valve has done this to TF2 and CS several times nowIt eventually recovers because apparently marketplace items are a better store of value than a Russian or Brazilian bank account
>>723973432don't be homosexual and you would never have this issue
>>723987772Every single red skin -no matter how shitty- is now basically equivalent to 1/5th of a knife. Instead of dealing with crate RNG you can buy a knife pull for €165>>723987876it's 5, not 10. so even crazier than that.
>>723987772it's probably a red, meaning people are picking it up to reroll for a knifeSome shitty TF2 items are also rising in price. I'm guessing some trader mains are banking on the same shit will happen with TF2 unusuals or something
I feel no sympathy for any of these people who spend money on microtransactions.And I say that as someone who has bought virtual tanks.
>>723973432literally crashed
>>723975857countries like qatar, UAE, china and russia are far better than whatever shithole you live in
>>723973432>valve can just make your $1k virtual knife worth one dollarpixels should never costs that much to begin withthank you for doing this gaben
Friendship with Libertarianism endedKnife Communism is my new ideology
>>723988007>it's 5, not 10. so even crazier than that.That's kinda makes sense, because reds are 3x as likely to drop as golds
>>723973432MtG would also have been much healthier if they never caved in to the reserve list faggots and reprinted important cards to make them accessible to people without spending hundreds of dollars, like other TCGs did Artificially limiting shit is always cancer
>>723973432How bad is it reallly? Are peoplle just throwing a tantrum over nothing?
Who are the investors? Who is investing in CSGO png knives? Oh right it's retarded 3rd worlders, "esports" fags and chinks so nothing of value was lost.
>>723976501anything that gets turd worlders out of gaming is a win
>Unironically treating electronic game finances as a real thingAt this point you can't even blame greed, capitalism, whatever, this is just willfully choosing to be retarded and then suffering the consequences. To be frank it's a miracle this shit somehow lasted as long with CS and TF2 over a decade.Go outside and fuck a hooker with that money instead you bums
>>723973432>Zoomoids literally kysing because of their skins becoming worthlessGet a job, holy fuck.
>>723988401MtG started to go the pokemon route with super duper collectible versions of cards, but it turns out the main price driver for newer cards is viability in the standard format.They're working on fixing that by killing standard now, though.

based Gaben btfo the crypto skin markethe did that to the whole facebook profile thing a few years ago, too, when they made it so you could buy profiles and emoticons and whatever the fuck with those Valve Points you get by purchasing games. still wish that the fat bastard would do an extra discount Voucher once a year like when they first implemented Valve Points and let you exchange them for an extra 10% off.

>>723973432Your fault for buying NFTs
not even a cs2 player i'm just shitposting on the forums and making steam points
>>723988434Some people have lost thousands of dollars. It's okay to laugh at them.
>>723973432Imagine putting your life savings in counter strike skinsAnyways NFTs actually solve this exact issue, but of course the average goycattle were too dumb to grasp the concept of why having one single central point of issuance/trading/price setting was a bad idea
>>723990362>NFTs would solve the issue of being able to make your own NFTs by trading in 5 of your old NFTsMake it make sense
Valve will fix it and the knife will gain value againRemember the 1$ unusuals in TF2?
>>723990620That was due to a glitch. It wasn't meant to happen. This is your future now.
>assign fake value to textures>melt down when fake value dissipates

>>723975701Isn't it just a good thing that there aren't some stupid 10k cosmetics and people can play with the skins they want?
This will happen to crypto soon, Google has been announcing advancements in Quantum and AI is looking 24/7 for vulnerabilities in crypto clients as well.
>>723973432I hope they do the same with unusuals too. I missed out on the Crate Depression and I want fancy hats for my mercs without giving some fat retard $60-$100.
This would unironically start the recession.Screencap this.
>>723973432It takes a special type of retard to think the video game PNG market was a stable form of investment. Next time choose the property market.

The Artifact copypasta spammer must be experiencing some schadenfreude right now.
this reminds me of the whole nft garbage few years ago
>>723973872But getting the rare knives is easier now, wym? The only people getting fucked here are the ones who treated a weapon skin for a game as an NFT.
>>723973880Bunch of virtual gamblers got destroyed by Valve dumping skins to everyone.
>>723975371Because the jeet jannies made a sticky
>>723973880Someone set up us the bomb
>Never play CounterShit>Nothing of value was lost or gained
>>723998269Even if you play the game nothing changed. It's just fags who care about cosmetics who are mad.
When I played competitive counter-strike you had to play with sv_pure 1 so there were no skins. I'm glad I quit when they killed source and never migrated.
the only people actually hurt from this change are chinese and arab whales
>>723996572No actual player is complaining here, it's good news for them.
Skins are retarded
>>723973432I don't know, but this is hilarious
>>723973432Skins market is probably the dumbest investment anyone can make and now we see why. Stock market is heavily regulated and even shitcoins are decentralized.
how long until I can buy a knife for $0.03?
Traders get what they deserve. They destroyed neat idea of barter trading ("you will pay me six weapons for one of those, because ECONOMY").
Skins were the cancer of video games
>>723973432ok link me the 1 dollar knives i will gladly buy some
>>723997562Isn't that illegal or is that just a civilised countries thing and not murrica?Same with seatbelts
>>723973432I CAN'T BELIEVE THISFirst my monkey jpegs and now my knife textures? Now all I have left are my DogeCoins and my Gamestop stock.WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY ECONOMY TRUMP!
>>723973432>mfw every single post is ESLGet fucked jeets.
>>723987916he's exaggerating about the price drop
>>723973432>valve employee probably bought skins and then lowered the price of them on purpose... why would they do that though
>>724002932nm I'm retarded
>>723973432It was never worth anything in the first place. Why did retards consider this an "investment"?
Two billion dollars.$2,000,000,000Two fucking billion US dollars invested in trading videogames skins, something two decades ago you could mod and change for absolutely free in every single game in existence.I can't even begin to fathom how fucking stupid some members of my own species can be. It's unreal.
>>724003135None of that money was real. This is boiling down modern clown casino economics to its purest form and shining a spotlight on it.I'm actually worried for gabes life if certain people take notice of that fact.
>>724003332Gabe has enough fuck you money that he could have highly trained bodyguards around him 24/7 if some jeet piece of shit tries to redeem him.
>>723973432It's just a jpeg
IMAGINE INVESTING IN A DIGITAL GOOD IN A VOLATILE MARKET WITH A SINGULAR CONTROLLER OF SUPPLY.
>>723973432Valve is the only company based enough to take a shit on its whales like this.
>>723973432>$1kAccording to who?
People who invest in non-fungible tokens are generally retarded. But people who invest thousands of dollars in FUNGIBLE tokens... LITERALLY pngs... Now that is another level
>>724003673me
why the fuck do people spend thousands of dollars on a skin when I can literally go on GameBanana right now and swap my skin to whatever the fuck I want for $0?
>>724003673the free market
>>723973432>$1k virtual knifeAnd people make fun of scam citizen paypigs.
>>724003935In the hope that they can flip it for a bit over thousands of dollars
>>723998379It's mainly chinese/money launderers that are seething from what I understand since they use this as a way to move money around and flex their shit. the average player playing CS gets to have a knife skin for reasonably cheap now so overall it's good for the players though I think the stuff you need to trade in to get the fancy knife is spiking up
>>724003991They at least aren't expecting any kind of economic return on their investment.
>>723973432It's allowed because that knife wasn't worth $1k to begin with. Only the users attached this value to a digital item, hence the users are to blame.
>>724003090>Why did retards consider this an "investment"?It's the most extremely simple form of economics - the only kind they're able to grasp.>thing people want>less of thing means it can be valued higherThey're just sperging out because the meaningless thing in which they've dumped incalculable amounts of energy has been more publicly exposed as meaningless. That they can't just play vidya all day and "earn money" is a shock to them.
this is a win for gamers, they better not reneg on this
>>7240031352 billion on what?Ask any of these retards and none of them will say "on steam" they will point you to some third party website ran by some company you've never heard of in russiathis is honestly one of the most based things I've ever seen valve do, such a hilarious way to fuck all their third world gamblers
Perhaps one should not speculatively gamble
>>724004185would be too late anyway
>>723987971If I were Russian I wouldn't keep my money in rubles right now either
>>724004156They can play vidya all day and earn money though, they just have to put actual effort into it and have a personality.So no they can't do that anymore actually.
the terms of service agreement you sign playing the game/getting skins explicitly states that not only is trading the items for real world money prohibited, but you do not actually own the skins or the games etc. if you didnt want to lose money you should not have violated the terms of service
Counter Strike skins were a giant bubble before this update, popping it like this was the only reasonable action for Valve. Keep in mind the only reason they were propped up in the first place is because China has banned both crypto investments and mining. You should not weep for people that fucked up their entire lives "investing" in unregulated Counter Strike skins. Valve should really crack down on the third party marketplaces that facilitated RMT transactions next.
>>723973432oh no, wont someone think of the drug dealers and gambling addicts
So wait... China was using CS Skins instead of crypto because crypto was banned in Chink land?/biz/, I'm never making fun of your shitcoins ever again.
>>723988859I'm assuming the joke was that you could get a knife for TEN reds, not fiveI don't know what valve was smoking but I admire their audacity in pushing this>>723997152And then, people will realize the game is mid.
>>724004762CS skins are significantly more stable than almost all crypto too
>>723996572It's good for actual players who want to see their skins in game.It's bad for what is basically NFT day traders who pride themselves on having "the most uber expensive skin ever that they don't use and just collect cuz it's expensive"TLDR: "BRO MY KNIFE IS 500k BRO" fags btfo
>>724004880Evidently not depending on the whims of Valve.
>>724004962Valve is normally hands-off with it after being hands-on with it pissed everybody off in TF2 (that economist who went on to become Greece's finance minister and is the reason you can't craft Fancy Fedoras and other first-wave hats)This is pretty unprecedented, for TF2 it'd be like trading in five hats to get a guaranteed unusual with any effect.
>>724004880then why is there so many people shitting themselves right now?
>>724004762You can technically get around it because they're decentralized, but for all intents and purposes yes crypto is banned in China. People have been arrested for facilitating transactions using Bitcoin before.
>>723973928Why did they do this? Doesn't shaking confidence in their virtual market make people dip out of it and mean less profit for them?Can't imagine they did for the players out of the goodness of their heart, otherwise why would they have even let prices get this bad in the first place.
>>723973432based valve
>>724005206Because being more stable than an incredibly unstable funny money doesnt mean you're very stable yourself
>>724005206Because the stable investment got undermined, dummy
>>723973432>its the third worlders!!NO, ITS GREEDY ASSHOLES, VIDEOGAMES ARE FOR FUN AND ART, NOT GAMBLING. IM FROM BUENOS AIRES AND I SAY KILL THEM ALL.
>>724005243Expensive CS skins are sold on third party marketplaces, Valve never makes money from the transaction because they can't take a cut.
>>723973432valve should've kneecapped the player skinconomy immediately once it ended up becoming a gambling den/investment portfolios, now they waited until people stupidly put their life savings and futures on fucking butterfly knives
>>724005317it doesnt look very stable right now does it retard>>724005296i never said meme coin was stable fucknut, keep coping
Gambling is gambling.

>>723975446More like thishttps://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Trade-Up
It's insane a company just lost its customers 3 BILLION dollars and hasn't even put out a statement. Imagine this in ANY other industry. holy FUCK valve
>>724004762You see retards lose their life savings because they put all their money into a game run by a company that can change anything they want to on a whim and you realize why China banned crypto.
>>724007348No crying in the casino.
>>723988184Now say that without laughing your ass off.
>>724006821>Milei>crashed your countryYou clearly have no clue what happened. Our country was destroyed by the previous president, ever since Milei won inflation has stabilized tremendously and they finally stopped killing the economy with taxes too. Obviosuly Argentina is not going to become an utopia from one day to the other but things are extremely more hopeful compared to before. Which is why voting for him in the next election is so important despite how much lefties want to ruin his image.
>>723975524lmao
Why should Gabe care about the value players put on virtual skins?QoL so more players can enjoy them is objectively the better way. Fuck off thirdies.
>>723973432Why do they blame problems in their illegal third-party market on anything other than themselves really?
>>723973432Go invest in memecoins, they seem up your alley
>>723973432>putting your life savings into digital itemsEven more retarded than NFTs, completely deserved
>>724007348Keep in mind that this was 3 Billion of speculated value, not actual value that was being traded around every day.It's the same shit as the stock market: Fake and gay.
>>724007272>magicallyMagically? He is reducing costs and removing taxes as much as he can. Macri didn't do that.
>>724007490Yea a casino would be shut down and the owners thrown in jail if they retroactively said actually all your winnings are halved when you go to chip out.
I just remembered I had a ton of rare shit from ages ago but Ive never touched the game in years. Oh well
>>724007348Do ypu know where that 3 billion came from? People jerking off to nothing.
>>724007502Lmao
>>723973880A bunch of Russians are gonna go die in Ukraine because their investments in digital knives tanked.
csgo skins are only worth steambux and not real money so no one actually lost anything. Valve doesnt have to cater to anyone trying to sell skins for real money and they should also ban all the complainers who did sell on black market sites.Based Valve
>>724007163I invite you to investigate more of our country's history and figure out why are we trying to rebuild our ties with the USA. But to say he's responsible for it when he just got into office 2 years ago after more than 20 years of malversations is just convenient, isn't it?>>724007272Same reason Milei is still struggling to change things. Powers are distributed, he's not a dictator. If reforms get vetoed all the time and you get niggers constantly trying to sabotage you from the inside, for outsiders it'd look like he's useless too.
>>723973432it is all digital and effectively worthless, just like cryptoyou're all just idiots and buy into it
>>724007731The situation is more like>Casino offers chips for $X>The chips come in a variety of colours and shapes>People discovered that the chips that are perfectly round and have a gold colour are rare>Start trading the chips among each other and inflating the "price" of round gold chips>Casino says knock it off and that you can trade mishapen red chips to get a gold chip.>People who were holding onto the gold chips crying because it wasn't their price for gold chips.
>>724007731shitty analogy. the "tokens" were never assigned certain value. everyone gets to keep their "tokens". their retardedly inflated value is artificial and not valve's fault
>>723973432Get positively FUCKED, tradefags. Your artificial scarcity got even more artificial.
>>724007943>Dude, i NEED a dictatorship to save the country, broludo.
>>724007731>open casino>your clients set fake value on your chips>clients start trading chips for real money between themselves>casino changes their machines so it's easier to win chips>bitch because the chips you tacked on a fake value yourself are now easier to earn

They didn't make your virtual knife worth $1000. You did. Because its the precursor of NFTs. And now valve is allowing people to repurpose their shitty NFTs into better ones. They never put a pricetag on any of them, they sold you a lottery ticket so you can get a cosmetic item.
Counter strike 2 is just a slotmachine disguised as a FPS
>I'm going to make money by reselling these rare video game knivesGaben: Oh? What if they weren't so rare?>REEEEEEEEE! NO ME GUSTA!Gabe never stops being based for a second. I hope he crashes every imaginary commodity market for fun. Make it so TF2 crates have a 50% chance of dropping an unusual. I will laugh the entire time.

>>724008272I'm happy that you lost money
Have people actually commited suicide over it? Certainly hope not, imagine if they restored it too.
>>724007867>>724008173If you're actually from Argentina and don't vote for Milei despite the fact that we're having the lowest levels of inflation in 10 years then honestly you're beyond retarded
>People can actually get shiny skins for their vidya for way less money>Ruskies and Chinks commit mass suicideWin-Win.
>>724008272You're not getting your money back :)
>>724008102non-ironically, this vicious system has been rigged to a point where you can't get out of it via democratic means, so, you're not very wrong.

>>724007502He fucked up your country by promising a peso-dollar exchange rate that only works if he's in charge. His party ate shit in Buenos Aires (the place where everyone lives) and every investor in the peso realized this is an unreliable investment. He gambled your currency, lost, and is now being given gibs
>>724008419Easy to have low levels of inflation when you tank the economy so much it has nowhere to go
>>724007923Reseller sites, they'll pay with card
>>724008243It would be more like if they added a new crafting tab where you could scrap 5 or 10 regular hats for a random unusual roll.

>>724008483>His party ate shit in Buenos Aires (the place where everyone lives)He literally lost in Buenos Aires when he won the presidency. The capital city is where everyone lives and they vote for him. Again, you're just full of misinformation. >>724008530I don't understand why you're coping so hard, do you think Alberto's economy had somewhere to go? It didn't and that didn't stop it from having 1000% inflation rate.

>>723997152>cs2 is 70% traders and 30% playersAnd 50% of those players are cheaters.
>>723973432>1k virtual knifeTry like 20k knife. These skin prices are way too inflated that 1k is considered cheap.
>>723991090video game developer =/= bank>>723991279asset =/= value
>>723973432It's not real. I've never understood the economyfags in Valve games. It's fucking hats, reevaluate your life.

>>724008615Enjoy your extra peronism bro. Long live the leader.
>>724008817He lost the province like a month ago
>>724008782It literally only affects thirdies
>>723973880Basically retards learned the hard way that relying on selling dumb fucking CS skins on grey market sites is financially risky, which is extra hilarious because the consequences of selling that shit on grey market websites to begin with are pretty fucking severe (it's a violation of the Steam ToS and if you're caught it could potentially result in your Steam account being outright permabanned) so all things considered they're lucky their knives are just worthless now as opposed to outright losing their entire steam library and inventory.
>>723973432>Why is this allowed?Haha if you think this is bad wait until you learn about inflation.
>>723973432none of the knives got much cheaper. fucking spastic retards
>>723973432>CSwho gives a fuck? only fucktards play that game anyway
>>724009553Again, that was already the case even back when he won the presidency. His opposition tries to make it seem like it was some unprecedented defeat or something when he never won there in the first place. The province is full of poor, low IQ people who have been at the complete mercy of the kirchnerist mafia for years. They don't know any better.
>>724002935isn't bitcoin worth like 110k right now?

What subreddit is crying the most? I want to go laugh at them.
i thought these things were traded on shady russian websites how can valve do anything about it
>>724009863Imagine being such a shitty leader that America has to bail your country out after just 2 years of you being in power lmfao. You realize this means America owns your shitty country now right?
>>724010075By increasing the amount of rare things in circulation = price drops
>>723973432>valve can just make your $1k virtual knife worth one dollarAnd that's a good thing
>>724010075valve saw all the people laundering money on third party sites and so they added a way to get knives that doesn't involve paying some russian mafia gambling websiteso of course thirdies are in shambles now
>>724010104That was always the intent, Milei's whole shtick is just flooding the economy with USD and becoming indebted to the IMF
>>723973432based. games are for playing, not for speculation of virtual items
>>724010104>after just 2 years of you being in powerYou know Argentina has been in a crisis for far far longer than 2 years, right, retardo?>America owns your shitty country now This means absolutely nothing. America doesn't need to give us money to have an excuse to fuck us over later. They could do that before and after buying our pesos.
>>724007731Insane analogy. The players assigned their own values to the tokens and assumed the casino would accept their own personal valuations.
>>723973432Should have sold it when it was $1k then, retard.
>>723973432>check knife prices>cheapest one is still over $70 USDlol what a joke. I think the jpegs are still plenty expensive.
>>724008782
>>723990972Maybe start respecting human life again anon, rest is not as important.
>>723973432I love the retards who literally have no skin in the game (I never owned an expensive knife) and have even profited from the situation (I can afford it now because of the dropped prices) are STILL mad.Why would they be? They are the people benefitting from this.I know why. Because YouTubers and other influencers told them that it's le bed and le not fair. And these people can't think for themselves.
>>723988131>About to crash>Better grit my teeth

This whole situation is like if the players in a casino bought $100 of chips, then decided amongst themselves that their chips were actually worth $1000, then were shocked when they went to cash out and got told otherwise.

>>724013106Why make fun of my correction? Can't you see I had to re-take highschool 2 times?
>>723973432It was never really worth anything. You just imagined it was.Things that are worth something are physical things.
>>723973432because they own the knife, you just had a license to hold it.
>>724013024>the guy probably spent his life savings on some "2ThaMoonCoin" or "BootyCoin" or some other pump and dump he saw online somewhere.right that makes sense

There was a point in my life in which I had less than $20 to my name. It sucked. It sucked hard, but I survived. Meanwhile in OPs pic there's a guy contemplating killing himself because he lost $1,000. Like I get it, it sucks, but get a grip. It's not the end of your life.

>>723973432Better question is why the fuck are people treating game skins like financial assets?
>>723973432Im sure you signed a user agreement somewhere. sorry buck, nothing personal, kid
>>724025628Because I've been at such a low point before, I can empathize with them. I know what it's like to be there. However, because I've been there and crawled my way out of it, I find it very difficulty to sympathize with these people.At some point, you have to just suck it the fuck up and start doing the work. Yes, it's going to fucking suck. Yes, it's going to suck for a long time. Letting it fester and get worse though is not the answer. Eventually you have to just pull yourself out of the shit.
>>724006332this joke has been repeated in every thread.it is a good joke though
why would these people not just cash out years ago, what benefit is there to holding an item, surely the supply will go up endlessly as the game generates rewards, there's no chance the value ever goes up

The magic wagon is here!" yells one of the peasants.>a flurry of activity as the peasants, frenzied, rush into their homes and zig and zag around the roadway>the wagon flies through the middle of town without slowing. many of the peasants rush from their homes holding jars that contain all of their meagre savings.>"The magic wagon! The magic wagon!">as the wagon passes them they throw their life savings in the back. the wagon doesn't slow down.>As the dust settles and the sound of horses fades, the wave of euphoria passes and reality sets in. Maybe it wasn't the magic wagon after all.>"He stole from us!" the peasants wail "He stole all our money!"
