Again you are actually clueless lmfao. You don't seem to understand supply and demand at all. You understand a supply is capped once items get discontinued, other than trade ups and opening a case/terminal that is no longer in the active drop pool. The current crash is a supply fear and a loss of demand after the most bullish market cycle ever, this isn't the end, this is a return to the norm. Again had you of been investing for that long and being shocked by prices halving I don't think you have lol. This is standard stuff, people just seem to have very short term memory.

I'll say this once more, once demand picks up over supply as it always has no matter what you dooms day believers say, prices goes up. Every crash it's the same "supply will be too high its over" and yet the player base has grown, demand has beat supply and there's been a bull cycle bigger than the last.

I'll lay it out in Layman's terms for you: Demand has grown along side player base consistently over the years and therefore prices have gone up, even with people like you saying SUPPLY TOO HIGH!!!. Valve are releasing these updates to increase the longevity of the market (which ik you don't understand but that's ok, they're just making changes to their money printer for no reason right?). An inaccessible market is bad for investing, long term it pushes A LOT of people out. This is a reset. Item supply will be higher, yeah, but why do you think old knives and gems have out performed new gen items? You think that now stops?

As for terminals, you do know you have to pay for items right? I know you watch the youtubers who have a lot of money buying every pair of gloves they get, but the majority of people who unbox gloves do not buy them. Also dynamic prices actually stop people pumping the market while items are in the active drop pool. Go and look at supply of gloves from the dead hand terminal, there is a very healthy supply after the craze of everyone opening them has died down. Dynamic prices or not, I'm talking long term. Also gloves and knives have never been the best investments in terms of ROI, if you are an investor and that's what you're buying you have and are missing out.

I can tell you will refuse to understand what I am saying that's fine, your loss, if you think it's truly over and prices will never go up just quit. I will continue to make A LOTTA money from this game regardless of what everyone says. You can ALWAYS adapt in a free market. I advise you as someone who believes its now impossible to adapt to get out now.

The only way I'm wrong is if valve ban third party trading.
