Is purchasing skins better than opening cases?

i have this question for a long time as u can see all the big youtubers are buying cases but some people say its not worth it help

Bro if you buy Skins you can make much money you dont will loose so much. but if you open cases you can make more money but loose very much. In my opinion in first time buy skins and if you have 100 dollars go into cases

If you have more money, go brought a skin but it is best if you are able to enhance your playing skills first.

Well, if you have good luck, it is better to open cases than buy skins

nah i think cases are better more fun and better energy with cases

purchasing skins doesn't improve your skill level just makes you look pimply in my opinion

Opening cases is very risky, cause chances of droping anything good are very small. If you really want something, then buy it

Well, if you're lucky, it's better to open cases than to buy skins, well, I'd rather buy skins

Opening cases is a big risk, if you really want to make some money from it trading skins is better. And if you only want skins then 100% is buying better.

If i would open an expensive item such as dragon lore , i would prefer to buy its cobblestone collection rather than buying its skin.

but its all about luck tho.
