Pie Creepin Round Here Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Pretty straightforward poll, how far do you think buds will bounce back during January / February? Since buds are at their core a faith based currency (no intrinsic real dollar value), it would be interesting to see what the community consensus is on how well they're going to come back from this most recent (and more severe than any previous) drop.

SilverSpeed Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I'm going for about 15. With the SCM I don't see buds reaching 20+ again. But I'm an awful trader so please don't take my word for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trianon Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Why do you even think that they will go up? I think end of holidays will just stabilize the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trianon Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Well, they are sold for low-end bp.tf price accepted just 5 days ago, and if you have some patience you can get them for 10.5 keys, i don't see it as "buds going up". I see it as "buds stopped dropping dramatically". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amen Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Well, they are sold for low-end bp.tf price accepted just 5 days ago, and if you have some patience you can get them for 10.5 keys, i don't see it as "buds going up". I see it as "buds stopped dropping dramatically". They'll eventually start going up, probly not as fast as they fell, but at least they'll go up. Good for me since I need to cash mine out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddhapest Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 buds have really one purpose: an intermediary currency for high value items. this special status was created artificially by traders and then embraced by spreadsheet and then bp.tf as part of the pricing model. as more and more items can be traded on the scm the value of buds as an intermediary currency for high value items is going away. honestly, i don't see it coming back. in fact it would behoof traders to drop "The Bud Standard" as soon as possible. i think what is going to happen is that buds will rise a small amount after xmas as the less flexible traders start buying them again to trade for high value items but as soon as the price bumps there will be an immediate oversupply because the more saavy traders will take advantage and get rid of them, knowing full well that aside from this arbitrary currency position buds have been given, they have absolutely no other value (there's certainly not enough tf2 players that would actually want buds as a currency to make a juicy market for them) [see Amen's post just above mine] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
