lol 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.

how is this a crash when it increased the flow of money in the market?

>>723931865
there's literally nothing wrong with cunny

>>723930301
CS2(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?

Why this instead of its successor the legblaster 5000? No one gave a shit about the p250

Yes, 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

>>723934429
sell 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

>>723934651
Because you are a pathetic gambling addict and deserve it. lol

I 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

>>723934953
HAHAHAHA
I hope valve does this to TF2 too and BTFO the traders there

>>723935067
doesn't matter. but if you did back in the day. sell now and actually make some real money

>>723935264
TF2 had a similar event not long ago when a bug resulted in a 100% chance to unbox unusual hats.

>>723935264
there'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.

>>723932839
Loss of trust in the market.

>>723934953
OYYYYYY PLEASE SOMETHING THINK OF THE PAYE-I MEAN PLAYERS

>>723935264
TF2 trading is already dead. It's just peepo selling their useless unusuals to their friends to manipulate the price there.

>>723933205
And this is a bad thing?

Can 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

>>723935665
It's going to stabilize.

>>723935608
yes. 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

>>723935717
Money isn't real. The value of things isn't real.

>>723935720
the 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

>>723935349
I 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.

there 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

>>723935896
lesser rare items value up 10x. rarest items have lost 50% of it's overall value and going down still

>>723930248 (OP)
That's a market boom, not a crash.

Valve 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.

Good.
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

>>723931784
I’m just gonna leave the thread instead

>>723935989
Maybe 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 get

And by kneecapping the values of golds, more people will get sucked into using the steam market instead of third parties

Its all devilish but I fucking hated skintards anyway

>>723936446
best 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?

my 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

>>723936602
The market cap will drop to 4B maybe even 3B but Valve doesnt care most of that shit they never saw any money from

>>723936693
they always get their cut from every sale on their marketplace, doing this is retarded

>>723930248 (OP)
Shit will crumble once people find out how easy it is to roll red weapons. There's certainly no shortage of them as per >>723936169
Any anons sitting on this shit better sell IMMEDIATELY.

>>723935067
no, everyone either gambles or speculates in the market, the actual game is dogshit and a cover basically

>>723936752
Nah the real big money deals were happen out of steam

This siphons in more player into steam

>>723936752
People aren't using the steam market for big ticket trades. Valve wants their cut from the whales

>>723936764
yep sell NOW. this is how I retire from counter strike. I got all my money I've spent on the game back. I won

https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/it/press-room/20251013IPR30892/new-eu-measures-needed-to-make-online-services-safer-for-minors
EU 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 releasing
based tactics, valve

>>723936752
They 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 ~$10,000,000
I 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.

>>723937024
Basically hold everything. Sell some golds if you have any.

>>723937024
Pretty 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 $10,000,000
lol
lmao

>>723937091
>>723937024
All 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?

>>723937230
Yeah 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.

>>723930248 (OP)
Wait, 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?

>>723937292
yes, 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/trader
For 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 ~$1.00
Before 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.

>>723930248 (OP)

Upsetting people who spend real money for fake goods is always good

>>723937158
>5 BILLION
WHAT THE FUCK

>>723937184
The 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.

theres 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

>>723937379
The market for knives is crashing, the market for gun skins is booming.

>>723937496

why 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

>>723937559
Because 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 booming
I just got a skin that used to be $80 for like $3.00

>>723937670

the entire market is predicated on the exclusivity of golds
im sorry but in what world does shit go up instead of everything barreling down the shitter because knives got devalued?

unironic 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

>>723937670
doesnt 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.

So do I hold cases? I have a bunch of them that I never really knew what to do with.

>>723937883
always hold cases.

They're insider trading right?

csgo trading seems so lame compared to tf2

>>723937786
Once 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 strategy
Happened in China years before TF2.

>tfw you had a m4 howl field tested back in 2013

fucking hell

>>723937973
>Once all the skins that can be turned into a knife are bought up
so 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

>>723937880
I 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.

>>723938062
I'll buy one for like $0.30. Final offer.

>>723938062
thats insane

i think i held mine for like a month before selling them when they were .50

what the fuck my friend all bought 100 or something we could;'ve bought houses what teh actual fuck is with this clown world

>>723938147
current 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?

>>723938170
my total inventory value is like $25-30k~ right now from a real world investment of $500
I was a broke college student back then with only a part time job so I couldn't put in more money at the time

>>723937670
The 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 valuable
Based 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.

>>723938369

I mean people invested in the market. What hapoens if they all just start cashing out?

>>723938062
>>723938408
99% 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

>>723938051
of 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

You sound mad as fuck

>>723933329
the tradable knife's price went down heavily
while the gun skin used to trade for them went up like 5-10 times in price
if people sell the gun skins at such crazy price atm, they have a good time. if people are gonna trade the knife and sell it, then they have to do it quick if they want profit

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?

>>723938689
we don't know yet
not every item is affected

>>723930483
Are we really shilling for casinos now? Is that the pipeline? Vidya->softcore porn designs in vidya->porn threads->gacha->actual casinos?

>>723938573
You're right. $1.00 is too generous.
How about $0.05?

>>723938530
could be better, could be worse I guess

>>723938689
Short term fluctuations that will probably bounce back to the same status quo it has always been in at some point.

>>723938751
how much you spend for that though

>>723938689
It's fucked. I don't think there is any way for it to reasonably recover from this scale of fuck up

>>723938760
I 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.

>>723938650
I'm laughing at you idiots who think this is a crash

>>723938774
a couple hundred dollars maybe? trading was fun back in the day

>>723938783
poorfags 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.

>>723931865
Were you one of them?

>>723938848
yeah nice
then 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 up

there's only ONE time to sell: when you have to

>>723938471
people 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€+?

>>723938879
doesn't apply here since real money is attached to them

>>723935665
They're skins. They never had any value.

>>723938937
because whats (potentially) in them nigga

>>723938145
Wooooooow.
Next you will probably figure out the art racket or dip into the world of "charity foundations".

>>723938925

the capsules and stickers are time dated, made for an event that will never happen again

>>723938937

inshallah brother

Brought 100 4-cent skins. Do we think the souvenir ones will go up or nah?

>>723939015
Nothing is being exchanged except the money. The skins aren't real. You're all stupid.

What 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 money
Laugh at this retard

>>723939051

>>723938979
yeah, 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 trusted
I'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

>>723935264
TF2 market exploded a couple years ago, it was hilarious

>>723938527
They must not have been here for the great Gem Jewing during the 2014 Christmas sale.

>>723939271
wasn't there also the tradeback thing a couple months ago to fuck over third party sites?

>>723939194
You 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 account
Yeah, for now. What are you going to do when those sites go down?

>>723939245
All of them are down. You get to sit here and watch your inventory value drop and you can't do anything about it.

>>723939352
The Robinhood tactic from 2021 during the GME run.

>>723939336
you are playing dumb. you can sell them on third party sites or just trade to someone and they send you money outside steam.

>all the cases I was holding onto are now worthless
b-bwos...

this change is good for people who actually play the game and don't whale for skins though

>>723939583
well. I got my money. I'm not complaining

>>723939602
any good crash outs yet?

>>723939646
Do 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.

>>723939583
nigger 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.

>>723939602
Serves 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.

>>723939737

Anomaly might actually drive into oncoming traffic like that other CS skins guy.

>>723939734
This, 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

>>723939917
I'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 place
It's more likely what anon said >>723936816, a move to make more money flow into steam and less into 3rd party sites

>>723939829
literally no one gives a fuck about skin """""""investors""""""""

>>723930248 (OP)

I 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 dollars

I appreciate looking at the price of this every couple of years. it was legitimately my favorite skin when I played the game on release.

>>723940032
isn'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

>>723938357
Nobody's gonna buy anything from us ever again...

>>723940103
only if you assume people cared about the skins and not the monetary value associated with them

>>723940056
Literally 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 inventory
I'm glad I kept it

>>723939695
Skip to 2:10:00
twitch.tv/videos/2598826803

>>723940180
i 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

>>723939508

can't find a single mention of what percent they take on the whole site

must be fucking garbage

>>723940256
like 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.

>>723939695
CooperTV is freaking the fuck out right now.

>>723940309
They'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.

>>723940379
What the fuck is kekarooo?
What are you, a fucking rooster?

>>723935264
valve forgot tf2 existed like, 6 years ago.

>>723940472
they are fomo but they do come back

>>723940510
Again, most people don't want hold knives/skins if they have to end up losing money by holding them.

>>723940510
your shitty pixels crashing 70% already disproves your claim.

>>723940507
I'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 them
most 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

>>723938303
That'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.

>>723930248 (OP)
cs2 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

>>723940749
im so happy all these cs2 gambling youtubers got fucked but he truth is they probably made millions in the last decade already

>>723940749
How much is he coping right now?

>>723940628
>supply of knives going up means their prices will go down
who 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 do
who couldve guessed this?

>>723940707
droppable skins dont have knives in their collection

>>723932868
nobody likes you

>>723940792
valve
they want prices to stabilize at steam market values so people stop using third party sites

>>723940707
How 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?

>>723940695
Unless you a thirdy, an extra 25-30k isn't going to give you a "comfortable life".

>>723940695
this defeatist attitude people have is something I'll never understand

it'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

>>723940792
reds' 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.

>>723940858
yeah your average /v/ faggot retard doesn't understand basic economics, the only people this hurts are people that invest into fucking pixels

>>723940869
You need 5^4, or 625. There are no more blues selling for 3 cents anymore, the cheapest I could find were 10 and rising

>>723940925
they didnt even bother asking 10 red skins lmao only 5 XD insane...

>>723940869
No, case blues are normally more than 3cents

>>723940925
i'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.

>>723940683
just 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.

>>723940890
I'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.

>>723940892
What can I do though? Go into crypto at this point? People lose everything in crypto.

>>723941040
$20 a week for groceries* I meant to type

I make about $500 a month doing online surveys.

>>723941028
timmy 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.

>>723940961
How 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 knives
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

Just got a bunch of cheap as fuck pinks and blues lmao

You guys shpuld have done this hours ago

>>723941113
While 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 you

you can make money trading skins but you have to work at it

>>723941127
oh no no no

made so much $$$ with this shit in 2023-2024. Glad I hopped out when mainstream went all in

>>723941174
enjoy 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 shortcuts

if 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 succeed

gain 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?

>>723941301
probably but you should wait for the market to stabilize first

>>723941174
I got every pink skin I ever wanted for like ~$20

>>723941305
just 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 noooooooooooo

Good. This shit is as retarded as the AI bubble.
And the sad part is these tradeups won't be enough to actually crash it.

>>723941346
I 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.

>>723941641
The """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 knife
is 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 crashed
why isnt there a huge revolt right now?

>>723941961
buy stattrak reds

>>723940749
>loud=funny

>>723941961
shares of palantir and nvidia not this fucking shit thats for sure

>>723941961
Wait 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

>>723942023
God no, Nvidia might crash soon

>>723942085
shits 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 point
lmao 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 it

people 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???

>>723942242
compensate 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?

>>723942164
>people are LITERALLY making million dollar businesses by themselves because they're asking chatgpt the right questions and more importantly, taking action

I'm not one of them though

>>723942268
their insane value relative to their unbox rate?

>>723942349
you can't ever be if you don't want to be

>>723942360
what value?

>>723931865
it's not rape if you want it
'statutory rape' literally means required rape

>>723942349
>>723942164
And 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 ago
And then you hang him from a lamppost. Corporations cannot be people because you cannot execute a corporation for its crimes

>>723931865
What if one of them was going to be the next Hitler?

>>723942360
that 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

>>723942384
Like 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

>>723931865
Yeah but the casino thing was pretty bad.

>>723942460
>Loony is off his meds again

>>723939829
Valve 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.

>>723942272
amd 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
>>723942463

why are you saying any of this? you ignored the prescription to get everything you want
you know what you're supposed to be doing if you want to change your life situation

but 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 children
this so laughably wrong I audibly chuckled in real life lmao

>>723942164
>>723942349
Isn’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?

2.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

Caring about collectors and the market is how you get Magic The Gathering

>>723942971
The 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% lmfao
im down 75% on my knives

it'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.

you're dodging the question, you know the answer to it though
>I'm unwanted by everybody, it's perfectly logical
this is irrelevant and not how markets work

were you born in a first world country?

Maybe 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

I don't care I got all of those like 5 years ago for like 200 dollars total, and I'm barely playing CS2

>>723936646
nothing you said makes any sense

>>723944868
No, 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

>>723930248 (OP)
The 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.

>>723934953
No, you are retarded
Stop 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

>>723945000
knives 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
>>723937379
So 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

>>723938145
Is $100 a lot of money to you or something? Are you even 18 yet?

They 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 else

KEKAROOOOOOO

>>723935264
The 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

>>723930248 (OP)
Good. 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

>>723945273
So 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

>>723945325
Based box seller, why hoard shit that keeps increasing in numbers when you can hoard the one type of item that actually decreases

>>723945396
Genuinely the single most stable item in the market. Whenever I want a new game I just pluck some old operation cases to sell.

>>723945382
fees 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?

If 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.

>>723945550
The 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 out
If 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 ago
Why do the Bogs still mock me even to this day

>>723930248 (OP)
This 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.

>>723945550
nobody 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
>>723945550
It'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.

>>723945678
>price of knives might not recover from this
Valve could not give less of a shit, they profit either way

>>723945804
The souvenir boxes are worth more than the skins 99%of the time

>>723945819
>>723945678
Tanking 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.

>>723930248 (OP)
hes powering the entirety of hell with his spinning as we speak

can you trade up to blue gem karambits?

has anyone checked

>>723945819
Yeah 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

>>723945878

>>723946302
Too 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.

>>723945908

Are 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

just fucking imagine that you could trade stuff up into unusuals in tf2.

no way, supply of red skins isnt endless
100% sure it will stabilize again when the panic sellers are done

>>723947364
There 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

>>723947414
yeah and they increased in price 10x by now too

>>723947364
Yea 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.

>>723943165
I have a shit ton of Halloween spelled items. Where do I sell them for lots of money.

>>723942671
imagine 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...

>>723947551
Sure but imagine how many knives where made by the hundreds of 1€reds that just got bought?

>>723948301
fortunately 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.

>>723948417
do you think everyone lives your life?
do you think there aren't people that made a lot of money investing in CS skins?

>>723948417

>>723948496
Bro 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.

>>723948518
Yea, the million a year wage devs really needed those 200€ from their skin sales...

>>723948521
They 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

>>723948612
you couldve made millions if youd know this beforehand, some things went from 1-2$ to 50$ in mere hours

>>723948685
There 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 wars
I kneel

Whatever happened to diversifying your assets?

>>723948664
By 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?

>>723948810
cause nobody wants a red p2k or shotgun

>>723947364
it is literally endless. millions and millions more will keep getting unboxed. there's no stopping that train.

>>723947364
do 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 ago
Should I just sell it or wait for a right moment?
I don't care about cs go related things anymore..

>>723949041
>>723949151

there isnt an endless supply

what is the CS2 marketcap now?

>>723949291
