Faisal Kazim’s Post

$2 billion was been wiped out from the CS2 Skin Market overnight. Some people had invested their life savings in this market. The crash has led to people losing not only their livelihoods, but lives as well. Yet some inhumane posts are showing up in my feed, celebrating this as a "told you so" moment. Let us instead offer a helping hand. This could be in the form of legal advice or connections to the right people.

Well said Faisal Kazim! I wish more people could understand that the CS skins market is just as viable as trading in any other commodity ( gold, crypto, etc.. )

The market crash is deeply unfortunate but from Valve prespective its to control the ridiculous prices that have been going for Gloves and High end knives. Which is more saddening the lose of life that happened during the market crash we offer our prayers and condolences to familes who lost there loved ones.

Well said, Faisal, it's a really important reminder not to let go of our empathy regardless of what our opinion on the situation might be. I just read a very insightful article on the matter https://www.tomshardware.com/video-games/ludicrous-usd6-billion-counter-strike-2-skins-market-crashes-loses-usd3-billion-overnight-game-update-destroys-inventories-collapses-market

Well said. This situation goes far beyond market numbers it’s about real human impact. We need more voices like yours bringing empathy and perspective to conversations like this.
