Anyone else gambling on knife trades after the spike?

Already seeing that the CS2 skins/knives market has picked up again after Trade Protection. If knives are rare + have a good skin/condition, they can bring profit? especially if you hold them long-term. I’d invest in knives if Im sure theyre historically in demand and liquid

I wouldn't be so sure. Hype and trends are fine, but the price can crash, especially if Valve introduces something that fairly increases supply (new operations, cases). Right now there's a lot of noise: rare skins are going up, but sales volumes may be low, and you risk getting stuck with a knife that has no buyers

What if Valve introduces something to drive prices down? New cases, new knives supply will increase, knives will become commonplace. Or maybe some bugs, exploits, or cases will cheapen the market. Then you’ll be left holding expensive junk

If being realistic: knives are a good asset right now, but not without risk. If you can hold and not sell at the first dip, if you can spot truly rare knives with good patterns then yes, there's a chance for profit. But the main thing is understanding that this isn't a stable company stock: it's a market of hype and demand, and a lot depends on trends, streamers, and events

Come on, if there's a gold mine in CS2, it's knives
