        And should not happen when split regionally as it is, either. This is terrible misuse of the political system. A "within margin of error" majority can, at an time, cause irreparable damage to the country? That's insane. Even the US is not that bad. And the US has some terrible political systems.

          Now to see if I can buy some BRP tomorrow morning at the bank.

          FX markets are not limited to trading hours, so you can buy at any time.

              Maybe he got shot once more right through a wall and just hates the game.

              One of the reasons why I stopped playing it in 2001 or so, no fun at all to get kicked / banned all night long - even at LAN party's.

                So where do you buy your currency from?

                  Most of the skins you would either buy from the official store, or from farmers.

                  People who play to unlock the skin achievements as if it were a gaming marathon. Which you immediately turn around and sell it for more.

                    I think you are talking about a game, and I'm talking about real hard currency that we use in the real world.

                      Sorry I was thinking about the topic that someone posted here, about a gamer who is suing the CS:GO developers.

                      Ignore me.

                                Yeah, already heard that. Therapists for everyone, mass motivational seminars... Just need to remember to tell my kids (don't have any yet) to become something serious, like lawyer, therapist or politican.

                                            The funny thing is, that by suspending the market they are often hurting themselves more than benefiting.

                                            Doing that just causes more panic as the uber-rich say "give me everything" when the market reopens.
