It's too much money, anyone w/ the slightest brain can see that - but! There is a glimmer of good news about things like this.
It shows virtual world economies, lifestyles, the concept of earning a living exclusively via work in virtual worlds ; as well as, by consequent, more in-depth virtual realities, eventually leading to full-immersion VR, are well in progress!
This is the dream. The sacred vision of the future all us cyberpunks/gamers/anime fans/many other circles have longed for since the '80's.

Ok people I'll let u in in a little secret
it's called advanced money laundering
it's also a way of hiding drug purchases
Hey the accountant won't let u waste business
money but u arranged with the car dealer
if u buy his $300,000 Ferrari
their will be a nice big bag of stuff in the boot
now u just need to convince the accountant that
the business can afford a Ferrari

But this here is a item from a game called counter strike...
yup Wat a lazy way to launder money
I guess the size of transaction didn't warrant a
hand made Ferrari hahahaha
Secondly life is mad. The amount people spend on virtual property is unbelievable but they do make money out of it from those who visit their property/planet.
Well in this case, if he can afford 55k on a skin then I'm sure that his bank balance is pretty deep.
Good vid about the most expensive digital items ever sold.

Some I guess make sense from a business standpoint, some are just people being dumb that have too much money on their hands.

I have steam installed in my laptop but never played CS:Go but have heard about this in many places but my question is does that $55K is withdrawable from steam network? 
If yes, this may be intresting to check but paying 15$ for a game is really expensive.

Yes but with a Ferrari, you would have to sell it again to receive funds, this way it's direct. Seller and buyer are in the same game so to speak
You have a point. Watson seller and buyer is the same person
Wat better way to launder money than with your alt,
This way you could be the buyer or the seller
depending on which way the BTC prices goes
and the balance of your tax return

Wow he literally paid 55k$ for some shiny pixels. We all pay for pixels while we are buying bitcoins but that is a whole different level of madness.
Will he be able to resell those pixels for the same amount? I doubt it. He is probably richer than any of us combined here so he didn't give a damn about that probably.

I hate to say this..
But he will probably sell it for more to a Chinese / Arab collector. And they will pay a lot.
He could potentially make profit.

I thought it was kind of creature skin, but it is game accessoris. I failed to see what the benefits of buying game stuff in a high price.
He maybe has too much money he doesn't know how to spend, so he buy such very very unimportant thing.
I think it's bettee to buy foods than this virtual skin

I fully agree. He has spent in fact over $100k on CS:GO items. But this item in particular was with Bitcoin so I found it interesting to share.
Some people (well, most of them) playing CS:GO are pure morons, kinda stupid, and ready to buy all that shit.
Not just morons, you need to be a rich moroon
But like has been said, it's probably just some money laundry...
lol, i have seen these wierd expensive trades on steam where people buy items that should be worth $0.10 with $500 but never this much!
it is definitely shady!
some people are going to see a very expensive skinned blade on their replays

I can see why people want to do crazy stuff like that.... I played a strategy MMO and you buy crystal packs in the game, to enable you to grow much faster and also add crazy looking skins
for your castles and hero's. I just cannot see why someone would dump $55k into a damn dagger... that is just crazy... yes small amounts like $10 to $100 .... but not $55k ...Wow.
Unfortunately that game, do not accept Bitcoin, which is a pitty, because it give loads of fun and entertainment. .... If we get one of these games to start accepting Bitcoin, the price would
skyrocket... lot's of kids with loaded pockets, but not allowed to use it, because of age restrictions.

Ok I can understand the gamers paying a few hundred bucks for really rare items.
I can even understand if people pay ~ $2000 for a capital ship in star citizen.
But 55K for a knife??? Jesus christ!!
