Why would I buy a box for 30 dollars?

are you serious

>>11480471
There are 40 dollars in the box so that's 40 dollar profit
>>11480472
Well if you think you can find a flaw please say because otherwise I'm thinking of setting up a business with this premise

>>11480479
I meant 10 dollar profit.

>>11480463
First guy puts 20 $ and take 30$ so he made 10$
Second one put 20$ then extra 30$ to 50$ combined and get 40$ from box so his balance is -10$.

This is the reason why STEM needs to be promoted in America. America is filled with autistic retards like you.

>>11480463
you would run out of boxes eventually.

>>11480516
Since you both get 10 dollars profit each time I'm sure the amount of boxes you could invest in would be infinite

1st guy: +10
2nd guy: loses 10
No win. Don't be a retard

What happens when one of you cheat?

Looks OP you were the only smart enough to figure it out, better move quick so you can corner the money in a box market

Looks good OP you were the only one smart enough to figure it out, better move quick so you can corner the money in a box market

>>11480463
The person buying the box paid $50 dollars ($20 investment, $30 for purchase) to get the $40.

>>11480463
You're losing 10$

FAKE!
You need to take into account the price of the box!

>>11480463
This is literally how the (((Fed))) works creating money out of thin air. Your post is probably going to be banned by some kike shill for exposing their accounting tricks.

If this idea spreads around ordinary people can destroy this artificial kike economy.

-20 I -20
+30 I -30

What's the big deal?

>>11480463
seller (s)
buyer (b)

Seller and buyer put $20 in the box
(s) -$20
(b) -$20
seller sells the box for $30 to buyer
(s) $10
(b) -$50
buyer opens the box to find $40
End values are seller at +$10 buyer at -$10
I've dumbed it down as much as I can, assuming OP isn't trolling how can anyone over the age of 10 not understand this

fuck this board

>>11481433
Yeah but buyer is getting 40 dollars for just 30 dollars so overall they are both getting 10 profit? How else could it work?

It's called thermodynamics

>>11481493
right this is clearly bait read through each step, the seller gains $10 but the seller loses $10, the buyer isn't getting it for just 30 dollars since in the first panel he puts $20 in the box

>>11481502
If anything, the seller is the one losing out because he is selling a box of 40 dollars for just 30- so isn't it the seller who is down 10 dollars? This way the problem is violating thermodynamics

>>11481506
good one bro

From seller perspective:
$20+box>given $20 for nothing>$40+box>sell for $30
NET from initial $20+box is +$10-box

From buyer perspective:
$20+$30>Give away $20 for nothing>$30>Buy box with $40>Box with $40
NET from initial $50 is $-10+box

Total amount of currency exchanged: $70 from beginning to end, and box.

Memeface #1:
>starts with $50
>puts $20 in box
>now has $30
>buys box (with $40) for $30
>now has $40 ($30 - $30 + $40)

Memeface #2:
>starts with $50
>puts $20 in box
>now has $30
>sells box for $30
>now has $60

#1: -$10
#2: +$10

one of them would probably get bored and stop

Is this the power of /biz/?

>>11480463
This would work great if you're using other people's money for the transactions but taking the profit.

In the first panel A loses 20$ (netA: -20$) and B loses 20$ (netB: -20$)
In the second pannel A gains 30$ (netA: 10$) and B loses 30$ (netB: -50$) and immediately gains back 40$ (netB: -10$)
A just scammed B
In the second pannel

I don't even understand the joke, there's no way that would work.

Eventually the amount of money generated per transaction would lead to enough inflation that the price of boxes would exceed 10$ and then the system would start producing a net loss, not to mention the increased demand for boxes once other people discover the method through which this excess wealth was spontaneously generated.

That is what you end up with at the end, which appears to have given them both a ten dollar profit actually, funnily enough. They have merely shared their money, which is, perhaps, a lesson in and of itself :)

They start $50:$20
They end $40:$30
