Bridgewater Fund founder Ray Dalio: Still holding some bitcoins, gold is harder to regulate than BTC and cannot be easily taxed

PANews February 15th news, Bridgewater Fund founder Ray Dalio once again talked about Bitcoin in an interview on the latest "All-In" podcast, and also mentioned the DeepSeek boom. He said that he saw currency depreciation through market trends, especially relative in gold, Bitcoin or other physical assets. More generally, all fiat currencies are depreciating, while gold, Bitcoin or other hard assets appreciate relatively. Bitcoin or other digital assets are a topic worth discussing. Although commodities can hedge inflation, they do not have the function of saving value, and people cannot hold oil or wheat for a long time as wealth storage tools like holding gold or Bitcoin.

Ray Dalio revealed that he still holds some bitcoins, but is far less than gold. Bitcoin is one of its diversified investments, but prefers gold because gold has several unique advantages:

• Can move freely among countries;
• Central banks use it as reserve assets;
• It is harder to regulate than Bitcoin and can be held more "privately";
• And it is not easy to tax gold, but Bitcoin is different - regulators know the transaction path of Bitcoin and it is easy to regulate and tax it.
