The Bitcoin Cantillon Effect
If fiat money creates insiders close to the money printer… does Bitcoin have its own?
Are early adopters, miners, and devs the ones sitting closest to new issuance?
Do OGs act like a kind of mafia, protecting their influence over code, culture, and capital?
And if so … is Bitcoin really an escape from the Cantillon Effect, or just a new version with different gatekeepers?
