The post Japan’s ‘invest locally’ plan likely to spur demand for assets like bitcoin (BTC), gold: Crypto Daily appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This hidden form of taxation, first used by nations after World War II, allows authorities to finance deficits cheaply, gradually erode the real value of the debt burden through moderate inflation, and avoid the relatively damaging alternatives of outright default or severe austerity. (Other indebted nations like the U.S., U.K. and European countries may do the same soon enough.)
