Cantillon Effect

The Cantillon Effect observes that the closer you are to the source of common money, the more benefits you gain, as inflation favors those with faster access to newly printed money.

Cantillon Effect

Since we’re not the GOV, we suffer from this effect. For example, a worker in Brazil working 50 years (9am to 9pm) loses 20 of those years to inflation and taxes alone.

How to Avoid​

  • Bitcoin is the best way to avoid this, as the volume of common money entering the Bitcoin and crypto market comes from state money printing, known as the M2 index.

  • The more money printed, the more inflation, and the more Bitcoin’s price rises in the short term within a 60 days interval when comparing Bitcoin and M2 charts. So, if you want to access newly printed money without being friends with the GOV, Bitcoin is the most efficient way.
