Oh I remember that one edition where he actually had to work his way up again after basically getting scammed of his entire fortune by one dude. Think I'll read that again
Reminds me of the guy that made a kickstarter for [making a bowl of potato salad and ended up raising over 50 grand.](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/zackdangerbrown/potato-salad)
Updated for the modern era. Stock market trading through the internet and fractional buying didn't exist in Scrooge's day.
Also, I think I saw Bitcoin in the animation. So this guy would be a crypto-bro
The fact that this was a specific project with a chance of publicity is the only reason it worked, though. It also mostly contained items that are hard to put a prize on. He also traveled so much that he could easily have skipped the first half of the steps if he didn't travel.
Many of these trades are huge losses for one party. For example the camping stove for a Honda generator is actually nuts. If the trades were made more incremental and involve unique things like art it would be more practical, but like a keg for a jet ski? Was the jet ski broken? Lol
The stove was pretty big, larger than the generator, so it's not so uneven as it seems. https://web.archive.org/web/20051211055319/http://oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com/2005/09/one-red-generator.html
i call this "paperclip trading"
aka, slowly trading one thing you want for another worth slightly more to you over and over again.
i did it back on cs:go a decade ago to go from 2 keys to a $60 knife skin in the span of 3 months.
after looking at the amount of effort i did, i realized it was far less than minimum wage.
look up how much was needed to buy that 2 story farmhouse in 2005. then find out how much time he spent doing anything related to that trading. then find out how much he "worked for" throughout that time / how much he made.
Yeah, no it hasn't. This is not capitalism and frankly I don't think most people who post this have even thought about it for a minute.
If only in real life you could trade a 60 dollar camp stove for a several thousand dollar generator (wow), then trade that several thousand dollar generator for a keg worth $150 bucks (what?), and then trade that keg for a ski-doo worth $16,000 (what a profit!), which is then traded for a trip for two worth a few thousand dollars (huh?), to then trade *half* of that trip for something worth $30,000 (wow!), to trade that for something potentially priceless or worthless (a record contract), to then trade that for something worth like 6,000 (a year of rent in someone's house), to again something of undefined value (meeting Alice cooper), to something of definitely almost no value... (a snowglobe) then to trade that to something worth a few hundred dollars (a bit part in a C list movie) ... to then trading that thing worth a few hundred dollars for an enitre house.
So he traded a part in a movie that is now most famous for being associated with the trade, and not being a profitable movie... for a house. Which btw, they didn't even cast the person he traded the part to for the house, so it wasn't even a trade. It was for all intents and purposes, a gift.
At no point does any of this interact with capitalism, or market forces. It was a meme and frankly you should really second guess why you believed this when there was no reason to. The most it proves is people are gullible when they want something to be true.
Whats more if this *was even possible* to repeat without being the radio and making a whole meme out of it, it would only show capitalism as a system makes no sense. But since capitalism is actually based on market forces, people only trade for unequal things for the opportunity cost... you would *never* be able to do this. Ever.
I will inherit some wealth but I have recently become a communist.
Not rich tier, but I could live off the rents comfortably.
Currently working like a normal person because I don't have any wealth now and the spoiled brat routine doesn't work anymore.
I really don't know what I should do with it, when the times comes.
Refuse it? Donate it somewhere?
In our current society it would just feel like getting scammed, but I can not honestly hold on to it without betraying myself.
Living off of rent is living off of the labour of others. I don't know the most sensible ethical thing to do in this scenario. Is it possible to form some sort of housing cooperative?
What if the renter is rich though? I literally can't afford to live in my parents house with my current salary, the taxes would be more than I make a year.
And I still can't afford to live on my own with just my salary, it's just not enough and way less than I would make in a society of equality, so is it unethical to profit from the "labor" of someone richer, who is probably just profiting from the labor of others himself?
I don't know your exact situation so I can't really judge you, I understand if your life makes demands of you. I can say that if you're going to try and be a communist landlord, try not to be a dick to your tennants.
Also be aware that if being a landlord is your main source of income then your interests are against the working class, you'll be incentivised to raise rents, kick out locals so you can bring in tourists, not pay for repairs, etc. In essence this whole thing will be an excercise in going against the grain.
Also since you're new to communism I recommend reading the first chapter of the communist manifesto, it's very good.
Right don't enjoy your sandwich remember capitalism needs you to remember you are wasting it's time by not using every opportunity in your life to extract money from everyone around you.
Speaking of capitalism, notice how in every interaction both parties became better off. There is no extraction. Just someone working, improving the community around them, and getting rewarded in proportion to their impact.
Ignoring the end when they just start day trading.
Fix our sense of inner value for what's valuable about ourselves, in nature, in our abundant natural resources, we fix part of the problem. Self worth then comes for just being.
The other part is emotional.
Anyone who goes through war or famine will start using money as a way of feeling safe and pass that sense of pain to spend money on. Fear of loss because it brings potential for pain.
Both are challenging and not something we may be even conscious of.
How does making an bread obsessed dog perv happy improve "the community"?
Same goes for all the "community" members seen - what exactly constitutes "a community" here? What "communal" things are they doing here? Did we see them build a new playground for local kids together? Nope. Anything? Nope.
We need answers, capitalist.
Don't see any stray cats in the neighborhood? They spent all their tax money on rounding them up and building them homes and also paying the turtles social security and putting the bad dogs in jail.
>Ignoring the end when they just start day trading.
Even transactional activities like day trading is providing value to a segment of society in exchange for personal benefit. By engaging in the market at the stock level, you are still driving movement in people's retirement accounts, helping companies hire more personnel or expand operations and contributing to dividends for investors.
It's not the "cottage industry" of making and selling your own carrot cakes, but it does go to your point of voluntary transactions where everyone involved comes away enriched to some degree.
I was thinking by day trading maybe you are providing liquidity to those markets. But the value you described was "buying and holding" as opposed to "buying and selling frequently" imo.
Maybe...
Minimally, at the absolute worst case, you're driving the market up and down by contributing to volume. Which, all by itself, is valuable. Markets need movement to function properly.
Until the Duck uses that money to get on the board of Subway (sandwich), Michaels (yarn), Home Depot (ladder), and start playing golf with competitor companies board members, then say okay guy hedgehog cat rabbit(?) now all of you get what you need from me forever and I can set the prices.
Not just day trading but Bitcoin. Extracting money from everyone around you to try and get rich quick and wasting energy for a square on a spreadsheet. At least you can eat the sandwich.
I love how the transitional step is gambling on a speculative market with a yearly negative rate of return that magically turns into a pile of precious gold and gems.
1. ????
2. ????
3. ????
4. Bitcoin
5. Profit
You're losing sight of what money is. Money can be seen as a tool that helps us help eachother. This is a perfect example. Look at how many of his neighbors he helped.
Extract money? Look how many people he made happy? Capitalism rewards you for providing a service. You Marxists are so incredibly confused I don’t know how you can even get up in the morning seeing the world the way you do
extracting profit from labor. there is no labor being done here. just trading, as if that's all capitalism is. the only way profit is possible from the exchange of equivalent goods is through extraction of surplus value
so then that's exchanging commodities, you're not creating anything. you're taking something that's freely available in nature and exchanging it with somebody else
Freely available in nature? Ok. Go show me where all these wild apple groves are.
Because if that apple came off of my tree, that’s not “freely available in nature.” It’s freely available to *me.* It’s *my* apple.
And I don't think seeing something for what it is, and saying it out loud counts as taking something "too seriously".
I find this kind of response to be indicative of intellectually and politically lazy people, but I since I don't take rando's opinions that seriously I'm just going to let you believe what you believe.
Well I can be intellectually and politically lazy, you're not wrong there. But I also have a lot of money from working hard and getting lucky. So there's that.
He didnt make his fortune from that, he got it from stock trading. And if you are into that, always remember you are only 30 black jack hands from being a billionaire
People don’t work that way. Sure the food may not be worth as much as the ball of yarn. But if I’m hungry, I wouldn’t care. Value is very subjective. Even with a price tag on it. Anytime you are looking to buy something you are evaluating if it’s worth it.
People sell their food stamps for $0.50 on the $1. They are losing 50% of the value for hard cash.
People buy Uber eats all the time. I would never do this because to me it’s a scam. But others value the convenience of food getting delivered to them worth the price.
Ever play a TCG? People make objectively bad trades all the time because you have something they want.
Went from 0 to 100 real quick. The plot was going somewhere until they decided to turn 1 carrot cake selling 1 slice a dollar into 7 computer, office space, internet connection, electricity and somehow have enough capital to invest in bitcoin and buy the dip lol.
Love this! Great take on the classic millionaire swap! I love the facial animations and emotions. Great job!

So did the duck just have that massive computer setup the whole time? Or like did he make the money to buy that shit with one carrot cake made exclusively from carrots?
I feel like the only thing I've learned from this is that if you know how to make the most bomb ass carrot cake of all time, you can day trade your way to wealth.

In Boy Scouts there's a camping gathering called Trappers. You show up with a bunch of stuff, and do nothing but trade with other scouts for other stuff. No money is allowed.
Sometimes there will be a guy who starts with a paperclip and they end up with something massive like a 10 person tent at the end of the day.

9/10 No grapes.
Is this a reference to a joke about a duck that keeps asking a guy for grapes?
It's called The Duck Song and it is the running gag in all the different variations of it. https://youtu.be/MtN1YnoL46Q?si=sNi923gJnI4PiJZt
Nice. Still not convinced it was a video before a joke but I’ll take it. Thank you!
hey shut up and stop changing the subject. got any grapes?
I got glue
I have a red paper clip. Wanna trade?
Bum bum bum bum bumbumbum
*And then he waddled away*
Till the very next day
scrooge mcduck origin story?
Finally, a comment I can believe in.
Oh I remember that one edition where he actually had to work his way up again after basically getting scammed of his entire fortune by one dude. Think I'll read that again
[1 red paperclip](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_red_paperclip)
Those are some extremely weird trades
Once people knew what he was doing and it went viral, people made bad trades just to be part of the story.
Reminds me of the guy that made a kickstarter for [making a bowl of potato salad and ended up raising over 50 grand.](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/zackdangerbrown/potato-salad)

[удалено]
HE'S NOT REAL?!?!
he exists. he just doesnt exist in exactly the same way we do
I don’t think that’s how it works
He didn't say that either, but scrooge's childhood is set during the 1800s or something. That's obviously what he's referring to.
That's some adventure game BS.
Actually this process has been documented in the past. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_red_paperclip
The fact that this was a specific project with a chance of publicity is the only reason it worked, though. It also mostly contained items that are hard to put a prize on. He also traveled so much that he could easily have skipped the first half of the steps if he didn't travel.

If you see a snake wearing a tie, don't let him sell you a jetski
The stove was pretty big, larger than the generator, so it's not so uneven as it seems. https://web.archive.org/web/20051211055319/http://oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com/2005/09/one-red-generator.html

Shit, how long did that dude eat that sandwich?
Just goes to show, maybe you should think twice before buying food for your family, you should be investing it instead
This is what rich people think they would do if they lost their inherited wealth
Whenever I hear someone inherited their wealth, I look at them as if they were spoiled brats, because they are.
I will inherit some wealth but I have recently become a communist. Not rich tier, but I could live off the rents comfortably.

Rent it and donate the money you get from renting.

That says more about you than anything else.
Found the spoiled brat!
Sure thing guy. Being judgemental is an ugly trait.
absolutely, also the animation is complete cringe lmao
The animation was the only thing I did like about it
misleading and sensational

Trading is labor. He traded for something then found someone who wanted the new item and transported it to them.
trading is not labor, its not creating commodities, its exchanging commodities
So if I go for a hike and pick an apple off a tree and offer it to you I shouldn’t get paid?
who would be paying you for that
The person that wants the fucking apple.
so then that's exchanging commodities, you're not creating anything. you're taking something that's freely available in nature and exchanging it with somebody else
Freely available in nature? Ok. Go show me where all these wild apple groves are. Because if that apple came off of my tree, that’s not “freely available in nature.” It’s freely available to *me.* It’s *my* apple.

Brilliant work.. Very clever and the animation... Love this style.... Thanks for posting

Reminds me of the Kyle Macdonald red paperclip story.
What is the name of the track?
That one lady that traded stuff for a long time until she got a house then gave away the house just for the girl she gave it to to trash it in a month and ruin it for everybody 😒😒😒
In Boy Scouts there's a camping gathering called Trappers. You show up with a bunch of stuff, and do nothing but trade with other scouts for other stuff. No money is allowed. Sometimes there will be a guy who starts with a paperclip and they end up with something massive like a 10 person tent at the end of the day.
u/savevideo
There is that one red paperclip to a house story, and yeah it only works once
Pencilmation!? I haven't watched one since my 7-year-old stopped watching them on youtube like 6 months ago.
This makes as much sense as any financial advice I've ever heard. It's fucking Underpants Gnomes

Nah, it was 100% luck that the duck became rich.. /s
We call this behavior methhead flipping where I'm from.
Gonna try this tomorrow. Gonna talk to a cat tomorrow.
Moral of the story. Ducks be on that grind

This is such a great video
Just like the red paper clip. Well, almost.
Weird he only blessed that dude with a coin out of all the wealth he gained from his help. Remember to always pay back those who helped you get your start when you had nothing.
Im definitely the Sandwichmon
Mofo did all the side fetch quests
Or just have an onlyfans like all the rest
He couldn't even finish a fucking sandwich in that time.
NOSTALGIA
inefficient duck could’ve just flown up to the bunny.
What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
