I googled doppler knives and saw a reddit thread where some guy said they bought one for 1000 and then sold it for 1500 but now they want it back but the price is over 2000

CSGO was NFTs before NFTs were popular
The Ethereum guy literally developed it because he hoped than one day he would be able to put his WoW items on the blockchain.
It's extra hilarious to think about after just scrolling through current gun prices, you can arm your whole squad in the US with actual weapons for the prices of these skins.
At the beginning of 2020 I sold my TF2 hats for enough to get a free Valve Index.
congrats you avoided the crash in Stock prices (is tf2 just as badly affected as CS?)
Nahhhh this is just a CS thing hahaha. I actually got crazy lucky, kinda the opposite thing happened in TF2. One day an update made it so for very specific old crates (loot boxes that require a 2.5USD key to open) ONLY dropped Unusual Hats (1/100 chance normally I believe). These were very old crates from when crates were first released.
I had been playing for over a decade and had maybe 30? 40? of these crates. They shot up in price from .03USD (minimum price to list on store, worthless basically) to 10-15USD each. I was able to offload all of them before servers were down and it was fixed later in the day.
They made it so all the fancy hats you got out of them were not able to be traded or sold. I was so happy I saw the thread about the issue when I did!
Wow the free market was truly fixed by Valve cooperation there. Glad for your earnings. Rant: But I hate micro transactions and in-game-market-places, imo they can create an other level of addiction after the first stage.
Oh yeah, I stopped dabbling in gambling and MTX long before that happened, and that was like 6-7 years ago. I agree with you.
I never really like gambling, but I DID love opening crates in TF2. I had a Key Guy I met who I’d send money to over the intent and he’d give me keys for like 1USD each in bulk (instead of 2.5USD)
They HAD to be ill-gotten gains, but I was happy because I was young and dumb and full of money and lust for hats. I prolly bought like 300USD of crates, and sold everything for a total of maybe 2k. …but I was also playing TF2 for 40 hours a week or more back then, so the dollars per hour was very low. I still had fun, I suppose.
it really doesn't matter what it is, it just matters that people throw money at it.
what am I looking at here? It is how I feel....but why?
congratz on experiencing art
Soviet art representing the relief of the Bolsheviks that stormed the Winter Palace, knowing they succeeded in toppling the Tsarist regime and could begin building socialism in the real world. You can also see a tinge of anguish in his face, as he looks upon the oppulant living conditions of the Tsar's family. Tsarist Russia was one of the most backwards nations in Europe, with life expectancies in the 30s. This painting illustrates the complex feelings of victory, relief, and the real confrontation of just how unequal and unjust the Tsarist system truly was.
I also think there's some anguish in knowing that the path to socialism does not end with the palaces.
The knot in your stomach that the history that lays at your feet is bending to the popular will of the proletariat; realising that the energy of this moment is retained like a spring, the tension ready to burst forth as the next stage of class war is set to begin.
Good points!
The golden apple (globe with a cross on top) of the Tsarist symbol in the background represents the worldly aspect of power, that now has fallen onto the soviet-revolutionary. At least that is also my interpretation.
Also a great point!

the first truly effective tarrifs on china
my response was "finally"
What caused this? Is CSGO having an economy crash or something?
valve included red skins (2nd highest tier) in trade-up contracts to get knives. (5 red skins for a knife) now undesired red skins from let's say the butterfly case can be used to get the illusive knife. (5x 20$ skins to get a former 1000$ knife)
knife prices dropped, cheap red skins rose in value and expensive red skins tanked.
in general the skin market lost 2bn$
How many apes can you use a slurp juice on though. I don't get it
i tried my best to explain it lmao
thank god, its funny how ingame currencies collapsing is actually better for the consumer in most cases and is only loudly bemoaned by speculative investers
speculative investers
I'm glad they got burned, tbh. The ranking of "things you should invest in" goes something like:
- land
- stocks
- bonds
- long-term savings & investment accounts
- precious metals
- currencies from different countries
- fine art from well-known artists or notable antiques
- literally anything that isn't collectibles
- no seriously...anything that isn't comics, cards, toys, or games
- LITERALLY ANYTHING
- collectibles
- crypto currency
- NFTs
- everything else
- garbage
- landfills to put your garbage in (although landfills are actually useful so they probably go above collectibles)
- garbage even garbage people who collect garbage don't want
- lottery tickets and other gambling schemes
- video game skins or items
CS:GO and other Valve Marketplace stuff goes down there at the bottom.
Roll garbage a few spaces up - some people get by on scrap metal and stuff like that
Yeah but if your consumers are children playing video games, and getting dragged into this by other (older and friendgroup) advertisers, it stops being funny.
I think it's worth noting that the overall market is still valued the same as it was back in spring. Which was up from 24, up from 23, etc. This is bad for the value of the most expensive stuff, and the market as a whole has slightly corrected, but it's still massive and probably still inflated. There's been a bubble brewing for a while.
