>Retards were unironically using CS2 like a stock market
huh?

Money laundering

Same retards who buy NFTs.

It's more real than crypto

>>724001069
It's exactly as real as crypto.
>only exists in a game
vs
>only exists on the blockchain

They thought that video game pixels were valuable and not literally pure speculation. Bitcoin will have this same thing happen eventually

Now instead of a stock market it's an hero shooter kek

Uh no? I just post steamcharts to spread fear, uncertainty, and doubt about games that aren't CS2 to protect my investments.

yeah crypto doesn't have to make sense, it just has to be able to sell the bag off onto some rube. And there were rubes willing to pay 2 grand for a CS2 knife skin
that shit was 95% likely to be some organized money laundering, to be fair

This isn't even crypto. It's just skins in a video game. Not even NFTs. Just normal skins.
People who "invested" in this are completely hopeless.

As someone who doesn't fall for scams (im white) how much virtual money loss are we talking about here on average?

>>724004615
>on average
kind of impossible to tell what the actual "average" is, but some people were losing hundreds of thousands and that just makes me laugh harder

>>724000918 (OP)
I didn't, but how does it differ from the real stock market?

the aqua post was posted 1 hour after carlos, dumdum

If you're someone who can lose "hundreds of thousands" on fucking CS skins then you're not poor and are not suffering any adversity. The fact that you even give those rich fucks attention is insulting.

For me it's ninomae ina'nis

What I find dumb is that there are actually people out there that think skins would be worth that much. It's a fucking skin for a videogame that holds no actual value other than artificial scarcity, isn't that a big fucking red flag? It's just criminals inflating the prices because they're using it to money launder and now we see the first price correction. I bet there's gonna be more as Valve is forced to deal with gambling and money laundering.

I once unboxed a rare TF2 hat that certain market websites told me could be worth up $200. I traded it to some guy for a copy of Dark Souls 2 at release day.
I think trading an in-game item for a brand new release on Steam is about how far the Steam marketplace should go. People paying the price of a brand new car for a CS knife is insanity.
