Billionaire Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio says that he prefers “hard money” such as Bitcoin and gold over debt assets as indebtedness continues to impact major economies.
“I want to steer away from debt assets like bonds and debt, and have some hard money like gold and Bitcoin,” he said in a speech during the Abu Dhabi Finance Week.

The billionaire investor noted that debt in all major economies except Germany is increasing at “unprecedented levels.” He subsequently claimed that “it is impossible for these countries to be able to not have a debt crisis in the years ahead,” which he said will “lead to a great decline” in the value of money.

The Kobeissi Letter commented on the US national debt in a Dec. 10 X post, stating that the amount has risen $1 trillion in just the last 105 days. On average, the US federal debt has risen around $9.5 billion a day during this period, according to the post.
<h2 id="span-style-font-weight-400-dalio-s-change-in-crypto-stance-span">Dalio’s Change In Crypto Stance</h2>
Dalio’s advocacy for gold and <a href="https://insidebitcoins.com/news/amazon-shareholders-push-for-5-bitcoin-reserve-investment-point-to-microstrategy-success" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> marks a change in stance toward digital assets for the billionaire hedge fund founder. Back in 2021, he said that Bitcoin and other cryptos would not succeed,&nbsp;
However, a year later in 2022, he then said it’s reasonable for investors to allocate 2% of their portfolios toward BTC in addition to gold to hedge against inflation.
 Despite the change in stance, Dalio has said that he will still choose gold over Bitcoin, adding that <a href="https://insidebitcoins.com/news/cryptocurrency-market-carnage-xrp-and-dogecoin-plunge-meme-coins-plummet-12-liquidations-hit-3-year-high" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">crypto</a> is still a small asset class.
