A lot of people just bought NMTs or bells on ebay from Switch emulator hackers who can duplicate items way faster/easier than this...essentially with a click of a button. I always assumed this was the main source of the juiced AC economy...not grinders and glitch/dupe exploiters.
People are duping NMT's now?

Welp time to check out this dupe

It's just gonna inflate prices even further.
The value of items depreciates and it's easier for me to buy whatever I want because of a surplus of all kinds of items circulating out there.
I'm not seeing a problem here.
Oh yeah, let's not forget since even days before the game released to the general public, people already hacked the game and had millions of nook miles and bells. Fast forward to launch week, save editor live, cheats live, ebay/etsy shops with people selling NMT, bells, any item you need all over the place. Nothing really game changing here.

Except why would people duping sell you anything? They're just gonna spend their inflated cloned money to outbid you on items they're missing, supply and demand will inflate to higher and higher prices.
Think bigger than in-game trade. There's plenty of people duping hopping on the train of doing real money trade for their duped stuff. Doesn't take too much googling to find all the auctions and listings. Hell, I even have some friends in my circle duping and selling their duped stuff on ebay.
As far as the ones that are using their duped bells/NMT to outbid you... this has been happening since week one because of all the people that bought from hackers?
On a related note, people aren't just duping bells and NMT. They're duping artwork and any other rare item under the sun. You want to talk supply and demand? The supply of these items will increase due to the duping in the first place, which in turn means that the value of the items won't be what they used to be anyway.
Lastly, I think Nintendo will patch this duping glitch soon enough anway.

You're missing the point, people who clone items wouldn't bother selling them, why would they when they're printing money on their own.
Items will leave the market, not the other way, trading sure if you have something they want.
People have been cloning these things for weeks, have you seen prices go down? I sure haven't, with currencies now getting cloned it'll just get worse.
I don't see the prices going down after this, if anything it'll go up since they figure tons of people have NMT to spare. Even after people started duping katanas and other things they've been selling them for a lot. There are some people who do giveaways, but those don't come by that often.
I think you're the one missing my point actually. I already answered this, but for your convenience I'll repost it here:
And just because you seem to think it's not plausible that dupers would engage in real money trade, here's one such example:
I don't know what you mean by "cloning these things for weeks". This current duping glitch was made public to everyone roughly 3 days ago. That's a far cry from the weeks you claim.
Furthermore, this glitch is in no way close to the speed of cloning as the original one too; that glitch allowed people to pump 12m straight into their pockets within 45 seconds. This glitch is a multi-step process and you can only clone 5 items at once which takes much longer to do. Also, the margin for error is higher than the orignal glitch, which in itself acts as a deterrent for a lot of players. For this glitch to cause significant damage to AC's economy, we'd have to see this live for quite a bit longer to see a huge shift.
And let's just say for arguments sake that this will cause catastrophic damage to the economy, as you say it will, it'll be patched within days like the original glitch, after which the economy will stabalize after some time. I wouldn't worry too much about it, especially now that it's been made public.

Could you pass the senbei?
In a sense it will be good cause hopefully items will be more easily available (if you don't mind dupes, not that you can tell if it is or not anyways when you're trusting the words of an internet stranger). It will probably inflate the price of rare items and villagers but general access to items should be easier and could drop down to prices like 1 NMT per katana with the 1x1, 1x2 glitch.
The only people it will affect most is people who don't participate in the glitch.

With every inflation, there’s a breaking point. At some point I never wasted time or money on items or villagers because I could get for free from animalcrossingcommunity. When the duping hit, a bunch of giveaways became more active; you could get anything, even items that weren’t from your region(like the Japanese food items). I’m all for inflation and duping, because that means at some point it’ll become worthless and people will just enjoy their game for what it is

Well, I guess all I can hope is that the duping helps depreciate expensive items so people can just enjoy the game without all of this price gauging, passive aggressive (or sometimes just plain aggressive) bidding and trading (which, thankfully isn't all that common, especially here).
But I hope it doesn't do the opposite and make finding and trading items more difficult for those players who don't dupe and exploit these things.

It probably is. Whenever I hear about some new glitch I look it up out of curiosity (don't dupe, but I have a computer background so it's interesting) and when I looked up this one, I instantly thought "too much effort." People who want 500 or 600 NMTs, or whatever Raymond is going for nowadays, will not necessarily want to go through the effort of duping a 10 stack of NMTs that many times.
I'm not at all interested in any trade involving NMT; I've owned maybe ten throughout the entirety of my playtime. The people asking for hundreds of NMT for items or villagers is honestly just really overwhelming to look at? So I dunno, guess just saying this doesn't really affect me. I've always preferred using TBT for everything because it's the most stable currency here. I can reliably assume that the value of TBT will stay pretty much the same as long as people are using it, yknow?

Just one thing, the vid shows duping with 5 items But you can easily do it with 15 or even 20 items no problem. You can start with 10NMT and in about 1 hour or so clone up to 1000. I think you can dupe 150 tickets or more each time you make the glitch taking 5-7 min each time you do it.
This glitch is really disheartening. I’m scared of wanting to get certain furnitures now if their price is 100 nmt per. Also, I wonder if this glitch is enough to ban or halt the sale or trading of nmt to tbt conversion for the time being.

Yup. There is even a discord server explaining how to dupe and hack ACNH and it is horrible. That is why I am taking a break from NH and playing NL.
Y'all talking about getting raymond, but I'm just here looking for a certain cub with the same name as a certain judge cough cough judy
