i'm totally new to those keys and would love to learn more, how you get those keys yourself :).

well, if you want to be premium this otherwise Don't buy them there, you can get them for 1,80 or something like that on TF2op or from the steam market for 2,20 USD (?) and like 1,70 euro

You can get them from the steam market, buy them from the steam store or buy them from other people (cheapest but also more risky) from trade sites.

well, let's say I play tf2 alot, the keys are listed let's say 5,66 ref metal (I don't know the metal price atm) but I'm going to quiet. I sell my sells for something cheaper and people buy it. some people buy keys just for open crates (which isn't the best idea in the world eventhough you can get a item worth 500 dollar or some but a really small chance) and other people just sell them to traders or trade them met traders.

The only way they're added into the economy is by people buying them on the TF2 store at full price. This is generally done by
A. people who don't know better
B. people looking for a cheap way to premium while still retaining the bulk of their 'investment'
C. people using fraudulent purchase means

They then sell at a loss on the market place for Steam Wallet or to traders for cash. This is then circulated into the economy. Keys are a bit of a universal currency on Steam, people are willing to trade keys for not only other TF2 items but even things like Steam games, trading cards, etc. TF2Outpost has a pretty substantial key trade marketplace, where you can buy or sell nearly anything on Steam for keys.
