"Ray Dalio, the founder and co-chairman of Bridgewater Associates, the world’s largest hedge fund, said he sees three main problems with bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that will limit their future, including that governments will “outlaw” them should they start to become “material.”"
I watched that about three minute clip with Dalio.
Hm? For some reason, I had thought that Dalio was one of the BIGGER traditional financial guys who was slowly starting to warm up to bitcoin, but apparently he is NOT getting it... and seems that part of the NOT getting it has to do with his being unable or unwilling to distinguish bitcoin from shitcoins. He acts as if he knows the difference by creating two categories of analysis that involves bitcoin and other crypto currencies and then another category is central bank related digital currencies. This is a very incomplete and even neophyte kind of framework, and it is difficult to know if he really thinks those things or is he faking his level of dumbness.
He also does NOT seem to get the difference between bitcoin and gold, either. He seems to believe that gold is superior to bitcoin, yet his analysis in that direction seems quite incomplete too in terms of largely relying on a kind of presumption that gold is better because it is already known blah blah blah...
Sure, it is possible that he could learn in the coming years, but he is coming off as quite stubborn at the moment.. kind of coming off as a kind of Jaimie Dimon from 2014/2015.. and now, in recent times, Jaimie Dimon is actually coming around to bitcoin, no? So could just be a matter of time, before Dalio starts to see the light. Perhaps? Perhaps?
