@@verandream6675 NFTs are stupid but paying that much for a literal broken flower is something else. And just because it’s not something physical doesn’t mean it should be worth less, for example software.
@bpop2148 I was comparing a flower to a randomly generated image that people think it's unique, of course a software is something totally different, but at least a tulip is something physical, an NFT is not even that.
The tulip story has an extra layer added to it. The reason it has those discolorations are there is because of a virus, which doesn't stay forever in the plant. so next time it flowers it'll just be a normal tulip again.
If only the Dutch government had started heavily subsidizing tulip buying and incentivizing the banks to lend money to first-time tulip buyers we wouldn't have had a single recession in 400 years.
Doesn't saying it like that just make our situation seem 10x more fucked? Cus tulips or gold or oil or thongs. Doesn't matter the item, that's literally what's happening right now.
@@mr.alkenly889 Tulips were at that time very limited and really only traded amongst the wealthy. Crypto is a much closer analogy than the housing market. Housing goes up and down on a ten to twenty year cycle. In 2007, everyone was worried no one would be able to ever afford a house again. Two years later and many homes were being nearly given away. Coming out of the illegal government covid shutdown, the mortgage lending rate zoomed down to just three or four percent. A couple years after that, its at seven and again claiming no one ever can afford a house.

Things ranged from dealing with labor uprisings to corrupt bankers from another kingdom disrupting the local economy to searching for artifact that would allow ships to sail under water.

Should do one of those compilations like at construction sites or gyms, where everywhere you look everything is inexplicably wrong, but for the economy

Correction @ 14:38. The software company itself does make about 500 million per year, that screenshot includes the Bitcoin price decreasing in its "operating expenses". But yes obviously the company evaluation has almost nothing to do with the software business.
This truly reminds me of the Albert Einstein quote of "Two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I am not yet completely sure about the universe." However, some infinities are simply larger than others, and I'm sure we're yet to see the true extent of the scale of human stupidity. For example, what if, hypothetically, in the future, there were thousands of people who looked at one man and constantly compared the size of his fingers to sausages? That would truly be max stupid.
In a strange alternate universe where spongebob and patrick are rhe stars of Metal Gear Rising: Revengance, we have the perfect quote to go here: "Were building the mother of all bubbles here pat. Cant fret over every sud."
The tulips mention is top shelf, I wish you gave an honourable mention to max stupid pineapples, where wealthy aristocrats bought pineapples to parties as a sign of wealth, and poorer people would RENT pineapples to appear more wealthy.
@@Code7Unltd They would replace them with another pineapple. Thought i would not compare it personally with the Tulip bubble because there was not really any speculation. Rich people thought the fruit looked great as decorations and its a colonial fruit so it shows the might of the British empire. So it was more of a status symbols than speculation. The reason why it was expensive was it took a long time to arrive in England since it can only grow in controlled environments in England or in the colonies, so it had to survive a long trip on ship without spoiling.
Even dumber, people bought into the kids coin not because they believe in it, but because they wanted to "punish" the 13 year old for selling, his 30k worth of coin "would" of been worth millions (I dont follow the logic either)

I agree with the basic premise of the video, but it feels to me like rational economics doesn’t really apply any more either. The govt won’t allow another 2008-like crash to happen, they’ll just get the money printer on and pump the market because we’ve allowed everything to get tied up in the stock market (I’m thinking pensions specifically as the big one). The corporate lobby has won, the govt would rather bankrupt itself propping up stocks rather than let shitty companies go bust and flush the bad money out of the market. Trump certainly won’t do anything to cool down the market. If a crash happens it will only be because the US has literally ran out of money, which is scary to imagine.
The comments on the video explaining Microstrategy are so funny. Fully believing that it's a ponzi scheme but recognizing that the world is stupid enough that the ponzi scheme will definitely keep going for a while longer and they can benefit by getting in now. They're technically smart, it's not like they can stop the people who buy in later from throwing their money away so they might as well grab the free money out of the air.
The meme from the Toystory: Fraud, fraud everywhere. During those shots of the niemands filming themselves during pumping up crypto I had a recall: this was Rome before it fell.
I usually agree with atrioc on most things but i think he is misunderstanding the value proposition for microstrategy. When we buy a stock for a bank, we don't value how good the stock is based on the nav of the bank, but by a lot of other factors. When a person buys mstr they are not buying bitcoin, they are buying into the potential of a business that holds as much bitcoin as mstr will. Nav is not a good indicator for a stock valuation
Atrioc, What in your opinion is it going to take for a wider market correction? Or what series of events would lead us to one The way you've laid out here, it looks to me that investors can jump ship from individual scam companies/tokens and everyone keeps chugging along with the Max Stupid mindset. Whether it was FTX or Celsius or (soon to be) Microstrategy, companies with large caps proving to be scams hasn't seemed to slowed down wider optimism What does it look like when everyone finally wises up to Max Stupid and the whole tulip market comes crashing down?
Took some scrolling before I found an introspective comment. The short answer is I don't know. The Fed keeps allowing this kind of thing to happen. My 2012 and 2013 bitcoin is crying. I thought 1k was so high. Lots of "loose money" floating around at the moment as the Fed keeps the markets flush with cash. Notice how in 2022 when they started removing money from circulation (google m2 fred) the massive speculation almost instantly cut off and stayed flat for quite a while before things started pumping again when the money came flowing back. The short answer for this to get "corrected" it needs to become in some way shape or form not possible to do at the foundational level. What would cause that I don't know but an "accident/natural disaster" followed by some enforced legislation fits the bill. Otherwise when the Fed starts to remove money again which given trumps victory I'm not sure will happen next year. Then it's a chicken and egg problem. The comment about the ponzi scheme should be telling. They work and they work well when people want them to work. Just not for the people buying in at the end. So the obvious solution is to start the ponzi schemes yourself. Which wouldn't you know it... People are doing exactly that with zero repercussion because it doesn't get "big enough" and that there are simply too many to go after at the moment. Mr. SBF would have been fine if he had taken out loans which I find absolutely hilarious. His poor timing is something to be studied. I have no idea when this gets cycle gets corrected like I said. It either needs to get outlawed and actually enforced or the fed says enough which again given trumps election I don't think will happen until something buckles and everything comes crashing down. Whole forest fire thing. Small ones are good as they clear out the brush. If they don't happen, when a fire occurs, it burns through everything. Now given my observation that the more detail a comment goes into the more downvotes and ai moderation it gets, this is obviously not a smart comment to make but I like making them as it lets me think. So thank you @skyler_schenck Hmm, buying a decent chunk of gold may not be a bad idea now that I'm thinking about this. Even moreso now than last year.
@@glswenson I guess I'm asking what has to happen for a recession to happen. If I remember correctly, we technically had a recession earlier in the Biden administration, but everyone seemed to just shrug it off. What is it gonna take to snap everyone out of this unfettered optimism?
@@skyler_schenck A little late but I would keep an eye on at least 6 things that I think have a very high potential of being the catalyst that snowballs us into a worldwide recession: 1) A collapse of the housing market in big cities. 2) A collapse of debt of the After-pay type, especially Millennial and Gen Z debt. 3) A bird flu pandemic. 4) A worsening trade war that ends up bankrupting a lot of companies. 5) Societal breakdowns due to budget tightening and austerity measures, which could lead to radical changes in political order. 6) The US government committing to a last ditch effort to prop the stock market while refusing to address wealth inequality, ala Weimar Republic hyperinflation style. Hope this helps!

I will buy that tulip for 8 pigs, 4 oxen, 12 sheep, 24 tons of wheat, 48 tons of rye, 2 hogsheads of wine, 4 barrels of beer, 2 tons of butter, 1000 lbs of cheese, 1 silver drinking cup, 1 pack of clothes, 1 mattress + bedding, 1 ship and a glizzy
The inflation is real
I'm offering all that plus 1 skibidi toilet
I’d have a coffee to spare on top of all this for that tulip
banger video big the big a himself. i feel these newer marketing mondays have been lacking that thing the older vids had, but with this one it felt like just the old days
Big A is keeping me up to date on everything I need and honestly I really appreciate the lean into politics/economics i need an educational channel on this stuff that keeps my shitty little 2 second zoomer attention span alive long enough to understand what the hell is going on around me. Big thanks home sliggity.
Boy was it a mistake to start this video without my headphones while people are sleeping
Wow, Atrioc, I love the video. One note: I noticed a lack of fun, engaging sound effects. Perhaps something like a vine boom would increase retention and engagement in your future videos. Just a thought.
I think the inclusion of subway surfers in the corner would also be sick
@@saltnpepper764 very true, I would watch it twice if he had that.
**PFFFFDDBH**
Touch grass zoomer
Also someone playing with goo and slicing sand
"there are only two things which are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and i'm not sure about the former"
19:30 Its crazy how accurate that is LMAO almost all scams have those exact phrases
I noticed also, which makes me curious why he threw it away then
@@god_gamer_sieg6110 it's a joke. The book says to watch out for scams but then describes every investor buzzword in 2024.
@@god_gamer_sieg6110it was a joke… he was implying that people are so stupid the book is trash
Ok that Enron commercial was straight out of Better Off Ted's sarcastic ads for Viridian Dynamics, what the dystopian fuck
I know damn well Big A has reached Max Stupid
He reaches it everytime he plays a puzzle game
Water wheel moment
This was great! Also shout out to the editing, went at a great pace
wasnt going to click until i saw his tulip pin and thought "wow that's a white boy with class"
Should do one of those compilations like at construction sites or gyms, where everywhere you look everything is inexplicably wrong, but for the economy
I love saving these kind of Atrioc videos and coming back to them in a year to see what’s different (He’s been pretty good at predicting whats to come)
Outside of Nvidia. He was warning for a crash at $80….
@@Darg43Not yet max stupid :/
@@stormburn1 It may be stupid but I like money. Funny he published this and news came out today the MSTR is about to join QQQ
The tulip mania was not actually that big of a bubble, it is overstated
Imagine selling all that for a tulip and the next day people say "tulips are stupid nvm"
It was probably money laundering
This max stupid video came on right after the coffeezilla video about trumps new meme coin.😂
This is Max Stupid, but what if I were to go further beyond? I call this, SUPER MAX STUPIDSAIYAN AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Please file a trademark for Stupidsaiyan because that is solid internet gold
Súper stuper sayin 😂😮😅
😊😊
Correction @ 14:38. The software company itself does make about 500 million per year, that screenshot includes the Bitcoin price decreasing in its "operating expenses".
But yes obviously the company evaluation has almost nothing to do with the software business.
Lol those aren't operating expenses though are they just admitting to fraud?
This truly reminds me of the Albert Einstein quote of "Two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I am not yet completely sure about the universe." However, some infinities are simply larger than others, and I'm sure we're yet to see the true extent of the scale of human stupidity. For example, what if, hypothetically, in the future, there were thousands of people who looked at one man and constantly compared the size of his fingers to sausages? That would truly be max stupid.
People make fun of Americans and their fixation on imperial measurements for a reason...
It could Only be stupid if that man was made king.
According to AI: Wikiquote lists the quote as "disputed" and also notes similar quotations from various people dating back to 1880.
Great episode of Marketing Monday! U really enjoyed this one. I pray we all get through this cycle in one piece.
nice thumbnail
ok
A banana ducted taped to an wall is worth millions?....max stupid
We may have reached max stupid this time, but there is always a maximumer stupid
*maximer stupider
One of the best Marketing Mondays yet
This is what happens in a "Move Fast and Break Things" type of market.
The 'thing' regularly broken by this trend, however? Laws.
In a strange alternate universe where spongebob and patrick are rhe stars of Metal Gear Rising: Revengance, we have the perfect quote to go here:
"Were building the mother of all bubbles here pat. Cant fret over every sud."
why does the graph at 19:00 look almost exactly like the Nvidia graph
Apple, Microsoft, Tesla, Walmart, Costco.
This is literally an everything bubble.
Fun fact: the highest known price for a tulip 🌷 during the rush was a thousand guilder, which was also enough to buy a house in Amsterdam central. 😂
The tulips mention is top shelf, I wish you gave an honourable mention to max stupid pineapples, where wealthy aristocrats bought pineapples to parties as a sign of wealth, and poorer people would RENT pineapples to appear more wealthy.
>Renting pineapples
What happened when they rotted? Did they get replaced with a plastic fruit, like Mao's mango?
@@Code7Unltd They would replace them with another pineapple. Thought i would not compare it personally with the Tulip bubble because there was not really any speculation. Rich people thought the fruit looked great as decorations and its a colonial fruit so it shows the might of the British empire. So it was more of a status symbols than speculation. The reason why it was expensive was it took a long time to arrive in England since it can only grow in controlled environments in England or in the colonies, so it had to survive a long trip on ship without spoiling.
The best presentation I have ever seen. So many things to learn from this! PLEASE KEEP IT UP BIG A
I do like the nice touch on the tulip on the thumbnail, it's not easily noticeable, but it's a cool addition nonetheless
(stream watchers get this)
HIIII PARTY MIXXXX
8) i get it
Love how you wove the 1637 history of tulips into this, not a fan of being yelled at first thing in the morning, but did find this pretty interesting.
← "I'M WITH STUPID"
Micro strategies sounds like a Madoff scheme.
Even dumber, people bought into the kids coin not because they believe in it, but because they wanted to "punish" the 13 year old for selling, his 30k worth of coin "would" of been worth millions (I dont follow the logic either)
Merry Hawktuahmis Big A, may your shiny dome reflect the light of a thousand monitors, may your udders overflow with cold brew, and may you gobble a thousand more glizzies! Happy Hunting! Now Get To Work, I want that Marketing done by Monday!
Love that thumbnail. Everyone who participated in making that should be rewarded.
Fun fact in some investing communities, like the bogleheads, there are banned forum topics like crypto or NFT's and are referred to as "tulips"
what a nice tulip in the thumbnail
Wearing Enron cap while belting them is crazy
have you ever read the chickenshit club, it’s about why corporate executives don’t go to jail anymore, i feel like you would appreciate it
The mic is right there. You don't have to scream.
I agree with the basic premise of the video, but it feels to me like rational economics doesn’t really apply any more either. The govt won’t allow another 2008-like crash to happen, they’ll just get the money printer on and pump the market because we’ve allowed everything to get tied up in the stock market (I’m thinking pensions specifically as the big one). The corporate lobby has won, the govt would rather bankrupt itself propping up stocks rather than let shitty companies go bust and flush the bad money out of the market. Trump certainly won’t do anything to cool down the market. If a crash happens it will only be because the US has literally ran out of money, which is scary to imagine.
It's so good to have you back and making this killer content
4:20 none of what they just said is english
The comments on the video explaining Microstrategy are so funny. Fully believing that it's a ponzi scheme but recognizing that the world is stupid enough that the ponzi scheme will definitely keep going for a while longer and they can benefit by getting in now. They're technically smart, it's not like they can stop the people who buy in later from throwing their money away so they might as well grab the free money out of the air.
Don’t worry atrioc, this time we will never max out stupid this bubble will never EVER pop!
By my calculations, we are at an all-time high stupid but we still have a ways to go.
Like peak oil, max stupid is a myth.
how do those correlate at all?
tying it all back to the tulip was CRAZY
Why did Atrioc post Marketing monday on a Monday? Is he stupid?
The meme from the Toystory: Fraud, fraud everywhere.
During those shots of the niemands filming themselves during pumping up crypto I had a recall: this was Rome before it fell.
I usually agree with atrioc on most things but i think he is misunderstanding the value proposition for microstrategy. When we buy a stock for a bank, we don't value how good the stock is based on the nav of the bank, but by a lot of other factors. When a person buys mstr they are not buying bitcoin, they are buying into the potential of a business that holds as much bitcoin as mstr will. Nav is not a good indicator for a stock valuation
It's a leverage play on bitcoin.
"I got a tulip to sell ya" is such a bar 😂😂😂
Oh no, I'll be able to sell my tulip for millions of dollars. Yeah, that sounds terrible. Thanks for saving me from getting rich.
Atrioc,
What in your opinion is it going to take for a wider market correction? Or what series of events would lead us to one
The way you've laid out here, it looks to me that investors can jump ship from individual scam companies/tokens and everyone keeps chugging along with the Max Stupid mindset. Whether it was FTX or Celsius or (soon to be) Microstrategy, companies with large caps proving to be scams hasn't seemed to slowed down wider optimism
What does it look like when everyone finally wises up to Max Stupid and the whole tulip market comes crashing down?
Took some scrolling before I found an introspective comment. The short answer is I don't know. The Fed keeps allowing this kind of thing to happen. My 2012 and 2013 bitcoin is crying. I thought 1k was so high. Lots of "loose money" floating around at the moment as the Fed keeps the markets flush with cash. Notice how in 2022 when they started removing money from circulation (google m2 fred) the massive speculation almost instantly cut off and stayed flat for quite a while before things started pumping again when the money came flowing back.
The short answer for this to get "corrected" it needs to become in some way shape or form not possible to do at the foundational level. What would cause that I don't know but an "accident/natural disaster" followed by some enforced legislation fits the bill. Otherwise when the Fed starts to remove money again which given trumps victory I'm not sure will happen next year. Then it's a chicken and egg problem. The comment about the ponzi scheme should be telling. They work and they work well when people want them to work. Just not for the people buying in at the end. So the obvious solution is to start the ponzi schemes yourself. Which wouldn't you know it... People are doing exactly that with zero repercussion because it doesn't get "big enough" and that there are simply too many to go after at the moment. Mr. SBF would have been fine if he had taken out loans which I find absolutely hilarious. His poor timing is something to be studied.
I have no idea when this gets cycle gets corrected like I said. It either needs to get outlawed and actually enforced or the fed says enough which again given trumps election I don't think will happen until something buckles and everything comes crashing down. Whole forest fire thing. Small ones are good as they clear out the brush. If they don't happen, when a fire occurs, it burns through everything.
Now given my observation that the more detail a comment goes into the more downvotes and ai moderation it gets, this is obviously not a smart comment to make but I like making them as it lets me think. So thank you @skyler_schenck
Hmm, buying a decent chunk of gold may not be a bad idea now that I'm thinking about this. Even moreso now than last year.
Recessions correct markets. It's the only thing that'll fix it, and we are overdue for one.
@@glswenson I guess I'm asking what has to happen for a recession to happen. If I remember correctly, we technically had a recession earlier in the Biden administration, but everyone seemed to just shrug it off. What is it gonna take to snap everyone out of this unfettered optimism?
Whatever happens, it'll look a lot like it did 100 years ago when the economy couldn't collapse.
@@skyler_schenck
A little late but I would keep an eye on at least 6 things that I think have a very high potential of being the catalyst that snowballs us into a worldwide recession:
1) A collapse of the housing market in big cities.
2) A collapse of debt of the After-pay type, especially Millennial and Gen Z debt.
3) A bird flu pandemic.
4) A worsening trade war that ends up bankrupting a lot of companies.
5) Societal breakdowns due to budget tightening and austerity measures, which could lead to radical changes in political order.
6) The US government committing to a last ditch effort to prop the stock market while refusing to address wealth inequality, ala Weimar Republic hyperinflation style.
Hope this helps!
“Thanks for the 20 bandos” I be saying this shit randomly through out the day lmaooo
he infacrt did not link the video on microstratagy 16:00
Link in description
He did, in fact, link it
"Thanks for the 20 bandos" will always make me laugh.
4:45 wdym "in hindsight"? Brother speak for yourself 😭
The next four years... "Is this MAX STUPID?" over and over and over...
yes I think we've peaked and hope for a recession soon
Why do I suspect the Tulip Seller had negotiated this 1,001 factor deal for his flower, then thought, “oh hell, I’ll need a ship for all this stuff”?
