[Q] Have ~€845 in CS2 cases. Should I hold as an investment, trade for a knife, or sell? Looking for advice!

Hi everyone,

I currently have about €845 (Steam) worth of various cases sitting in my inventory and I'm honestly a bit torn on what to do with them.

I would absolutely love to get a nice knife, but I want to make a smart financial decision. If the general consensus is that cases are likely to go up in price right now while knives might stagnate or drop, I'm more than happy to just hold onto them as an investment for a while longer.

I'm hoping to get some advice from experienced traders:

  1. Market Trends: Do you think it's a good time to swap cases for a knife, or is holding cases the smarter play right now?
  2. Best Method: If I do decide to trade them for a knife, what is the best and safest way to do it? Should I look for someone to trade with directly, use third-party sites (which ones?), or just sell them on the Steam Community Market?

I appreciate any advice or insights. Thanks in advance!

We just built a better gym workout tracking app - completely free and offline first

Hey everyone! 👋

My two friends and I were quite frustrated with the current state of workout tracking apps.

  • They make you pay for basic features
  • Are cluttered with ads
  • Collect and sell your data
  • Distract you from your workout with unnecessary social feeds
  • Filled with useless AI (slop) features

So as the 3 software engineers x "gymbros" we are, we took matters into our own hands and decided to build Nouta.

  • No features behind paywalls
  • No Ads/Tracking/etc.
  • All the features you need, none you don't
  • Free Graphs, PRs and stat tracking
  • Social features that are actually useful (See friend stats and copy workout templates)

We built this app using React Native and InstantDB allowing us to keep our operational overhead incredibly predictable and low, while still offering a fully offline-first, native-performing experience to our users.

To sustain Nouta we implemented a Pay-What-You-Want model where users can choose to support us if they want unlocking (only!) cosmetic upgrades like custom themes and animated GIF avatars.

As a thank you for taking the time to read this post and maybe even trying out Nouta we also want to get you started with a promo code: 'NOUTA30'. With this code, you will receive the Nouta Supporter tier free for one month!

We would really love to hear your thoughts and opinions on the app!

You can check Nouta out here: https://nouta.app/
(Nouta is available for both iOS and Android)

Please let us know if you have any questions about the project or tech stack! 🏋️‍♂️
