Ray Dalio warns: the next crisis may be born from debt
Ray Dalio has put U.S. debt back at the center of the debate. In a recent publication, the founder of Bridgewater Associates estimated that a U.S. fiscal crisis could occur in about three years, with a margin of two years either way, if the current course is not corrected.
The key point is not simply abandoning bonds, but reducing exposure to debt-linked assets and diversifying across different asset classes and countries with stronger finances. Dalio considers gold an important hedge and advocates a smaller position in Bitcoin, while suggesting something between 10% and 15% of the portfolio in gold.
The warning gains traction at a time of pressure on long-term U.S. Treasuries and concern about high deficits. Gold and Bitcoin are now being watched not only for their potential to rise in value, but also as alternatives in the face of the risk of losing purchasing power and a weakening of confidence in sovereign debt.
Even so, Dalio’s message does not mean that a crisis is inevitable or that investors should simply sell everything. Above all, it is a call for diversification and wealth protection.
