Seeing as the longest 2 x 4s I can find are 16ft long how do you go about framing longer walls? I have a wall in my basement that is about 50ft long. Can you just butt the ends of shorter walls together?

Yes, or double the stud at the intersection of the plates, making a solid section to raise, then nail the studs together once you bring the wall vertical. Make sure you are using pressure treated lumber for the bottom plate.
