Bridgewater founder: Bitcoin has strong liquidity as a safe-haven asset and may play an important role in the future

ChainCatcher news, Bridgewater founder Dalio recently stated that the current global monetary system is based on debt, and governments may devalue their currencies through inflation or low-interest rate policies. Investors should consider whether there is an alternative currency that does not rely on debt and is relatively stable. He believes Bitcoin could be one of the candidates and may play an important role in the future, but emphasized that "money is essentially also debt," and a true alternative currency still needs further exploration.

Dalio pointed out that Bitcoin's advantage as a safe-haven asset lies in its strong liquidity; unlike real estate, it is not fixed in one place, making it harder to tax or confiscate. However, he also stressed that the diversity and robustness of investments are more important.

When asked about his views on gold, Dalio stated that he is more optimistic about gold than ever before, but advised investors to remain restrained. He believes the future is full of uncertainties, and investors need to build a diversified portfolio to cope with it. He suggested a "cautious" gold allocation of 10% to 15%, which can provide protection while avoiding excessive reliance on a single asset. He emphasized that a reasonable asset allocation is an important strategy to deal with future uncertainties.
