What is the Cantillon Effect?

The Cantillon Effect explains how new money benefits some groups at the expense of others. When money is printed, it enters the economy unevenly:
• Winners: Those close to the source (banks, corporations) spend it before prices rise.
• Losers: Regular people and savers face higher prices without getting the new money.

This distorts markets, worsens inequality, and leads to economic instability.

How Bitcoin Fixes the Cantillon Effect

Bitcoin eliminates the Cantillon Effect by:
1. Fixed Supply: No arbitrary money printing.
2. Decentralization: No privileged access to new money.
3. Transparency: Clear, unchangeable monetary rules.
4. Global Access: Everyone can use it equally.
5. Inflation Resistance: Protects purchasing power over time.

Bitcoin empowers individuals, removing unfair advantages and creating a more equitable financial system.
