Use parallel folds. If you start doubling material, the folding comes to a quick end--as someone else noted earlier, the limit for doubling paper is about seven-fold, even if you start with a full size sheet of newspaper.
But if I were set the challenge as you word it, I'd get a sheet and make box pleats. It'd still be fussy work, unless you started with a big sheet. An ordinary letter size sheet can accommodate 50 folds that run across the short dimension, at roughly quarter inch intervals, and 'box pleats' means the sheet would only triple its thickness.

Sounds like a riddle. The only thing I can say is fold it each time in a different place, but dont leave the paper folded.

I read somewhere that no piece of paper can be folded in half more than 7 times.

IF it's a riddle I think that you should fold it open after folding it 11 times, and then rinse and repeat until you have folded it 50 times.

If you're talking about just folding it in half 50 times, it's impossible.
When you fold in half, you get 2 layers. (2^1)
When you fold that in half, you get 4 layers. (2^2)
When you fold that in half, you get 8 layers. (2^3)
...
So, when you fold in half 50 times, you get 2^50 layers, which is about 1,125,900,000,000,000 layers. The thinnest paper would be fat by that time.

Use a really big piece of paper, and make very small folds.

If you've got a crock-pot (slow cooker) it's perfect for this--it's ideal for use with cheap cuts of meat and/or dried beans and other inexpensive groceries. If you're vegetarian, there's a great cookbook called, "Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker" which is entirely recipes like this. If you're not vegetarian, there are plenty of slowcooker books available at the library, bookstore, or large grocery store. A whole bag of dried beans, enough for several meals for a large family, retails for a dollar or less; add some vegetables and spices and maybe some brown rice and you have a very inexpensive hot easy family meal.

Dont fold it in half. Just keep folding it in different places

You can't. It gets to hard to fold any you can't get beyond 8 folds
