Ray Dalio: 'There Is Only One Gold'—And It's Not Bitcoin
Dalio emphasized gold's unique qualities as a non-printable, transferable asset central banks trust, while Bitcoin's market size and transparency limit its reserve appeal.
- During a Tuesday appearance on the All-In Podcast, Dalio urged investors to stop comparing bitcoin to gold, stating 'There is only one gold' and calling gold 'the most established money.'
- His July allocation advice followed a period when Dalio recommended a 15% portfolio allocation into Bitcoin or gold, and from July through early October both moved together until the October crypto crash wiped out $20 billion in leveraged positions.
- On Tuesday, gold dropped $168 to $5,128, a 3% decline, while bitcoin fell 0.7% to $68,700, illustrating contrasting market reactions on Dalio's comment day.
- Despite Dalio's claim, five days into the U.S.-Iran war, gold spiked then reversed, while the asset Dalio prefers was hit harder, undermining his thesis.
- Dalio recommends portfolios hold between 5-15% in gold because it is transferable, cannot be printed, and requires no promise, which is why central banks acquire it for reserves.
