It's a long wind but here I go.

It's been over a year since any kind of major update, so Valve finally puts out a new cosmetic crate series for the summer. Nothing noteworthy other than a hat for Soldier based off the Ricardo meme made it in.
>July 26th, 2019
Sometime between 11pm and sometime after Midnight, Central Timezone, people discovered, and word got out, that a glitch was in the update, where certain classic Mann Co. crates guaranteed Unusual hat drops. Crate prices went up, people bought crates and keys at frenetic pace, opening up unusual after unusual. Then said unusuals were either quickly traded, or sold for cash, some even using the sudden influx of unusuals to "Cash out" of TF2 by selling their Backpacks, and making decent money out of it.
Meanwhile tradefags, mostly those of the Unusual Trading variety, threw shitfits all over the internet where they could at the sight of their valuable pixels being turned into regular pixels.
In the end the whole chaos lasted for a little over 12 hours! Valve stepped in during the early afternoon, and shut down all trading, until later that evening, where trading was opened, but all "Counterfeit Unusuals" were basically frozen into people's accounts until further notice.

Right now it's basically just tradefags having a collective seethe and us laughing at them. Some cocky tradefags try to be smug, thinking we'll get banned or have our unusuals taken from us, but they don't understand that we don't care about getting unusuals or money off crates, it was watching the chaos unfold, and watching people who have spend a decade and lots of money in TF2 trading, all shitting their pants crying.
The only thing waiting now, is for Valve to make a final decision about this whole situation, if they do anything at all.
