Can I use CS2 as an alternative to keeping a hot crypto wallet, cold wallet, and gold and bullets and stocks to diversify more?
I'm not good at the game I mostly just like to do surf.
You could buy a gun like that for as little as $399 brand new in the United States. You can buy a transferable machine gun version of that for only around $50,000.
how come no other game has tried to mimick the csgo/tf2 market? all of them just give up half way through, payday 2 tried it, but then made opening safes free and completely killed the price of every item, pubg tried it as well, but then decided to make items untradable and killed the price as well.
>are skins really random drops
skins are opened in cases that cost 2 dollars, sometimes there's operations (think of battepasses) that drop rare skins, they can be traded and sold, but once that operation is over they never drop again
>is it all a giant scam
not really, people buy them because they like them, the prices just skyrocket because there's a lot of players now and not that many skins, a lot of people have old skins that cost them a few dollars that they have no intention to sell, so older stuff is just really expensive now, I have a butterfly knife I bought back in 2017 for 100 dollars, and now it's worth over 1k.
Last I played, you still can get skins as random drops (only some dropped collections actually have any worth, usually those that you can trade up to red rarity) but ever since they added sprays as drops you usually end up with one of those worthless things. The rest of your hope lies in getting dropped crates on release day, or holding them for half a decade after they stop dropping that crate type when they hold value again.
Otherwise, you are buying keys, and unless you can consistently outpace $2.50 keys with really good drops (lol, not gonna happen, you'll get mostly blues which hover around 0.10 each, occasionally you'll get a purple that might be worth $.25, maybe if it has stattrak it'll be worth a dollar).
I got incredibly lucky, unboxed a knife on my third crate that I ever opened, but I was a dumb kid, so ended up pouring a decent bit of money into those things over the years I played. Never got anything even close, maybe I'd break even now, since a lot of those skins are not as easily obtained nowadays.
Does anyone know why skin changers give you a fricking VAC ban?
Can't wait for them to bring back custom servers with custom skins and stuff.
Yes you can get skins as random drops. Yes it is all a giant scam. I bought all the skins for all the guns I use for like $7.
There are morons out here wasting thousands on opening cases.
The best part about CS:GO and CS2 is killing a paypiggie with a skin that costs $0.03 cents. They flip the frick out, and even ragequit if you kill them enough times.
Bonus points if you kill them, pick up their gun, and kill them with it next round.
I never understood the appeal of the unicorn rainbow vomit skins. Woodland and Desert camo look way cooler and fit the game better than MLG MLP fashion show it became.
>kids like moronic looking clown shit after growing up on moronic clown "modern" cartoons, playing moronic clown games like clownnite and world of clowncraft, watching moronic clown youtube streamers like anomoly getting excited for moronic clown visuals, and watching moronic clown youtube kids
I wonder why everything looks like a fricking circus these days, really boggles the mind.
Genuine question, are these sold to other people through the steam and all the money is left there as steam credits or are they sold through a third party system with money directly flowing from person to person?
Like, OCCASIONALLY you'll find people trading in the Value of multiple other easier to move guns, but usually it's direct transactions outside of steam.
For 3rd party websites there are market skins in which you can buy and sell for real money. I can vouch for skinport since I used that one to sell my gloves and Knife. Take into consideration that the price of those skins are like 10% cheaper than on steam market.
Why the frick is there artificial scarcity in skins? i remember when you could get a good skin at the end of a match randomly like the Jet Set. The dragon lore and knives were supposed to be the only "rare" things and now theres always some ugly ass skin thats expensive just because valve decided so.
eiffel 65
looks like shit
Money Laundering
It's more
>What happens when a game economy happens organically and ISN'T manipulated from its inception
This.
They SAY it's worth 200k then they buy the skin, send the money and the skin owner sends them the 6 kilos of meth or whatever.
lmao i always read about "money laundry" but its first time somebody explained how it works

but is anyone paying $280 000?
no?
then it ain't worth shit
yes?
then they're moronic lol
That's the "Hot Rod".
Bit more than the Blue Phoshor, mostly because it's a limited collection. Factory New averages just around $1000 US.
Every time I wonder how horse armor dlc and dlc in general ever took off I look at images like this.
you could buy an actual gun like that irl for less

redpill me on csgo

Oh yeah it just sold the other day. It made big waves in the trading community.

What you meant to say is yes.

>Does anyone know why skin changers give you a fricking VAC ban?
Because Gabe Newellstein wants the goyim.. I mean gamers to unbox his loot crates heh heh heh.
Skin changers give you back bans because there is no way the game can tell the difference between you using actual cheats and skin changers.
>“100000000 dollars for this CS gun”
Okay
Who says
Did anyone buy it with that price tag
This would have been a shitty 1 star blue skin in gamebanana back in the days
I wanted to try CS2 out, but I'm afraid of getting my 18 year old account VAC banned for literally no reason like many other people.
>Not an M4A1 out of 10
>That much for a blue m4
I hate this world so much.
what makes these skins valuable?
I never understood the appeal of the unicorn rainbow vomit skins. Woodland and Desert camo look way cooler and fit the game better than MLG MLP fashion show it became.

I wonder why everything looks like a fricking circus these days, really boggles the mind.
I always found it weird that there's tons of weeb skins and tons of edgy weird shit, but not many normal looking skins like what you posted.
In real money?
Genuine question, are these sold to other people through the steam and all the money is left there as steam credits or are they sold through a third party system with money directly flowing from person to person?
For transactions this big, usually externally.
Like, OCCASIONALLY you'll find people trading in the Value of multiple other easier to move guns, but usually it's direct transactions outside of steam.

I wonder what the pajeet who makes these shitty textures thinks when seeing those prices for the cents they pay him.
I want to start collecting CS2 skins. How beyond fricked am I?
vs $20
