    Hear me out: The Iranian Rial might actually be the most undervalued commodity on earth

    1 million rials costs $1.10

    Your toilet paper equivalent cost drops to:

    ~$2.20 per roll

    And if hyperinflation continues?

    1 million rials could cost $0.50

    Now you're effectively buying toilet paper at:

    $1 per roll or less.

    You’ve essentially created a reverse inflation hedge where your bathroom supplies get cheaper every year.

    The true asymmetric payoff

    This is where the real DD comes in.

    Possible outcomes:

    Scenario 1 – Rial keeps collapsing

    Great. Your toilet paper gets cheaper.

    Scenario 2 – Iran stabilizes and currency rises

    Congratulations. Your bathroom supplies are now an appreciating financial asset.

    Scenario 3 – global toilet paper shortage again (2020 flashbacks)

    You are sitting on a diversified wipe reserve.

    Storage strategy

    This is the best part.

    Instead of stacking Costco toilet paper towers in your garage like a lunatic, you can just store bricks of foreign currency.

    If someone asks why you have stacks of Iranian money you can calmly say:

    “I’m diversified into emerging market hygiene commodities.”

    Instant credibility.

    Thesis:

    Traditional investors think about:

    • inflation hedges
    • commodities
    • currencies

    But true intellectuals understand the Bathroom Arbitrage Strategy (BAS).

    Buy currencies that are so worthless they become functional consumer goods.

    Iranian Rial is just the first mover.

    I’m currently researching Venezuelan Bolívar for potential diversification.

    Positions:
    Long hygiene.
    Considering opening a leveraged wipe fund.

      How do you plan on obtaining these “bricks”?

      Do you plan on wiping your ass with these nasty bricks of paper that have been handled by a 7 million people that don’t have access to clean drinking water let alone sanitation?

      Do you think you can flush these bills down your toilet?

      I had a dream last night that I had a shart and couldn’t find a bathroom to clean it up… must be an omen.

      This is straight up retarded. The official rate is nowhere near the actual rate you can get on the streets. This would be reverse arbitrage on you

      I mean, I couldn’t come up with something this stupid if my life depended on it.

      If you want to get rid of buckets of money at least light it on fire and enjoy a few minutes of warmth.

      Like a well-adjusted entirely sane person

      My uncle was big into the Iraqi Dinar investments circa early 00s. I’ll make sure to talk to him about this once in a lifetime opportunity

      Dude you aren’t the first one to think this, there are still people from the 80’s holding onto it and have no retirement

    23. Responsible-War-917 on

      I wonder if my buddy from 2010 or whenever still has his Iraqi Dinars.

      He basically laid this pitch to me verbatim back in the day.

      Regards should be barred from touching AI.
      All 3 of your possible scenarios are somehow considered positive.

      Great business idea though! I’m sure there’s a crowd that will be willing to buy TP made of currencies from sanctioned countries!

    35. chino_the_rapper on

      US won’t let their currency go back up. They will buy more weapons if that happens. War means in all areas, not just territory but also financial. Go buy it tho cause this is wallstreetbets 🔥🔥🔥

      This is the most regarded yet genius thesis I’ve seen since the 2020 TP squeeze

    41. HorrorLocal5745 on

      Imagine being a “millionaire” who are still unable to afford a single toilet paper roll

      I never thought I’d read a post that would genuinely tun my thoughts to “man, but I wouldn’t even wipe my ass with an Iranian rial”

      … but here we are

    46. sorbetluver on

      As an Iranian I’ve never laughed so fucking hard at a Wall Street Bets post. Well done take my upvote.

      My dad has a shit ton of Iraqi Dinar in his safe if you want to buy that for an awesome price.
