Skins in CS:GO is a means of expression and a fundamental part of the game economy. Skins can be bought and sold for real money, which makes them valuable. Besides that, the economy of CS:GO allows you to make good money if you understand how it works. For example, one of the items goes up faster and more stable than Bitcoin.
EMS Katowice capsules against Bitcoin in 2014
In 2014, Bitcoin already became quite popular, which affected its value. If the cryptocurrency cost less than a dollar three years before, in 2014, Bitcoin rose to $40. Now the coin's price fluctuates around $22-23 thousand. So, Bitcoin grew approximately 562.5 times. And what happened to the EMS Katowice 2014 capsules during this time?
After the EMS Katowice 2014 tournament, the capsules were sold at a discount of $0.25. The price tag for Challengers and Legends was the same. Now their prices are slightly different. The EMS Katowice 2014 Challengers sells for $11,340, making it the cheapest capsule. The Legends container starts at $11,792.
Thus, over nine years, the capsules have increased price 46,264 times, which is at least surprising and bypasses Bitcoin. So, investing in CS is 82 times more profitable than in Bitcoin.
What makes these capsules so remarkable?
The main reason for such a price is the limitation of these containers. They could be bought in 2014 during the corresponding tournament. Therefore, they were never sold again. However, there are many such capsules, and this is where the second factor comes into play.
EMS Katowice 2014 was the first tournament where capsules with team stickers were sold. The audience was smaller, so they weren't bought in the same amount as now. There were initially fewer of them than all other capsules.
In addition, the stickers from EMS Katowice 2014 are some of the most beautiful in the history of Majors. However, they look strict: a huge team logo and a neatly written event's name. No extra frames and drawings, such stickers are a great rarity.
And, of course, the teams whose stickers were in these capsules cannot be ruled out. Most teams no longer exist, and some haven't appeared in the Majors for a long time. The Titan holographic sticker costs more than $73,000. This was mainly due to the club's dissolution, and the price of the iBuyPower sticker soared in price after the match-fixing scandal and the team's disbanding. Now it costs $88,000.
The economy of CS:GO is an exciting topic to study and an excellent way of earning, which could be more popular. EMS Katowice 2014 capsules prove you can invest your money in the game and multiply it thousands of times.
