Yes. It just needs the blockchain. And in-game money should be a separate token.

So how do I make money playing CSGO? Assume that I am very good.

Yes. In my fucking country, the wage is 3-6$/H. I hope somewhere in the future virtual economies will run better than real ones

I think a lot of them suffer from liquidity problems. that's what the big tf2 crash was about - items were inflated. like in dota 2 right now, which is still moderately popuolar - a $7 item only gets 10 to 20 trades per day. tiny market, just like crypto.

still with a bot i guess people make a good living from scalping

I don't understand how Some players have like $5,000 worth of skins in their inventory. Like how. Where did they get then? Did they open that many cases? Or did they get lucky on gambling sites

I'm not interested economies that are not withdrawable to fiat or useable currency.

Video game economies are retarded. Insert your bux and never be able to withdraw to useable currencies.

Once they build it on ethereum I'll probably get back into playing video games as there'd be incentive.

[Anonymous No.15908322]

wat

there are sites were people literally buy and sell skins/hats/whatever with paypal or crypto.

though the catch is that they're cheaper, but not significantly cheaper

So few people remember CSGO before skins. The game was DOA shit and most people went back to CSS immediately. It still plays worse than 1.6 and CSS imo. I miss the CSS AK, deagle, and mp5.

Maplestory, runescape and WoW had stellar economies in their early days. You can actually see, through those games, how government (admin) intervention ruins everything.

Kek. Reminded me of how I was a GM in Ultima Online and accidentally created socialism.

>be GM
>The boss tells me the players are hoarding money and the server is actually lagging because of gorillions of gold coins
>Deflation is not an option, because the gold drops are small as they are, the people hundreds of people are just botting 24/7 to farm gold
>Think the best way to remove the money from the game is to raise prices on everyday goods, especially the ones using for farming
>Raise bandages prices x3, magic ingredient prices x3, mount prices x2
>Noobs are getting fucked, because are now too poor to to heal themselves or cast magic
>Put a bandage/ingredient dispenser for noobs
>Noobs start hoarding bandages and ings and selling them to other players for under the market price
>Remove dispenser, just give noobs straight gold
>Noobs being noobs are getting killed and looted
>Put a welfare office where noobs can periodically get small amounts of money
>Inflation worsens
>Realize I still have to get the money out of the system
>Tax player shops and homes, put a script into place to move the tax money to the welfare office and adjust tax according to demand
>At least it's zero sum game now
>Players start creating noob alts to milk the welfare and use the money to fund their main
>Taxes raise

y tho

Was every gold coin a separate item? That'd be pretty stupid.

Still cool, did you ever fix it later?

[Anonymous No.15910018]

>>15909953
Yes, every coin was a separate item. You could throw it, build a mountain of gold even shoot gold out of a cannon as munition.
Pretty much everything was an item and was useable.

>Did you ever fix it later?
We returned everything to it's original state, then we just made up some super rare items, like colored a horse in rainbow colors or made +13 golden swords and sold them at an auction for richfags for millions.

provided you had a way to cash out and some insight/luck, csgo could 500x your investment in 5 years (possibly more if you held on the right items)

trading.
People sell valuable items at low prices so they sell quickly, traders buy these discounted items and resell them for their average price. it's all a game of patience

CSGO would then be part of the chain, i.e. part of the "through twitch (through csgo)"
To better demonstrate, consider the following counter example:

>Just sell items using this method: [...]
>That would fall into category of "make money through the Steam store" while I was CLEARLY asking how to make money through CSGO you retard

In conclusion: You're a brainlet and going to stay poor, and in a few weeks or even months, whenever your next time to feel introspective about your poorfaggotry is scheduled, I want you to remember that it's your own fault, because you're so dumb
