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.   submitted by   /u/Unable-Supermarket65 [link]   [comments]
