⚠️ Billionaire, investor, and founder of Bridgewater Associates Ray Dalio, a person who knows how to look at markets without rose-colored glasses, has spoken again about Bitcoin. Dalio admitted that he holds a small portion of BTC — about 1% of his portfolio — and has been doing so for many years. Such an investment is more like a symbolic “bet on the future” than a full-fledged belief in cryptocurrencies.
However, despite his sympathy for the idea of digital gold, Dalio emphasizes what he considers the main problem of Bitcoin. And this problem, according to him, is not volatility, not regulation, and not the fact that the crypto market sometimes behaves like a teenager on energy drinks. No — the issue is much deeper.
According to Dalio, Bitcoin will never become the reserve currency of major countries. The reason is simple and at the same time unpleasant: BTC can be tracked, controlled, and… in the future, even hacked. Yes, it sounds like a science fiction plot, but the billionaire is talking about a real threat — quantum computing.
If quantum computers reach the necessary level of power, they could theoretically break the cryptographic keys on which Bitcoin’s security depends. And if that happens, the entire system would be at risk. A reserve currency, as Dalio likes to repeat, should not only be reliable but almost indestructible — like eternal classics.
He also notes that governments will never voluntarily give control over the global financial system to something that cannot be regulated. And if it can be regulated — all the more reason they will not consider such a system their reserve support.
That is why Dalio treats Bitcoin more as an interesting experiment and insurance against systemic risks, but not as a contender for world dominance. His position is simple: Bitcoin is a curious asset, but not the new dollar and not the digital reserve currency of the future.
🔍 However, who knows: technologies, like markets, love to surprise. And investors like Dalio like to remind us that a beautiful idea is one thing, and reality is something entirely different.
