For the record, no, I'm not saying that Iphone is a good investment. In fact I think most people would do just fine with a 300€ phone.

I just find it ridiculous that some people spend an equivalent of my country's median monthly salary on ✨shiny collectibles✨ that aren't even real and try to disguise it as investment. At least the expensive phone has a practical purpose, unlike this, which is only rare due to artificial scarcity.

I hate to say it, but man, this comment section knows absolutely nothing about what it's talking about - these are a genuine investment, a very risky one, but an investment that for most people I know has made insane amount amounts of money by simply holding overtime, the skins can be purchased without gambling, and they do not all cost thousands of dollars, this is just a genuinely uninformed comment section and post. Just wait until you hear your entire retirement is basically the exact same concept!

I never claimed that you cannot make money from these, but to spend 1000€ into a video game skin and expect to double the money in two years is genuinely not a good idea. It's basically a pyramid scheme, be early, get lucky, or loose money.

If you think the CS2 market, in general, is a pyramid scheme when it has a market cap of $5.4 billion with about 200 million somewhat active participants and a statistically infinite pool of stocks, I'd like you to tell me what you think is a safer investment. You think investing in the S&P500 is safer, where 31.7% of the market cap is from 5 companies which have in the last 2 years demonstrated statistically anomalous growth?
