Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, advises investors to allocate approximately 15% of their portfolios to either gold or Bitcoin due to concerns over U.S. fiscal instability and rising federal debt. He argues that excessive borrowing and deficit spending are eroding the dollar's value, making gold a critical hedge against fiat currency devaluation. Dalio emphasizes that while he personally favors gold, both assets serve as protective measures against monetary debasement. Data from 1971 to 2025 shows gold outperforming inflation and traditional assets like the S&P 500 during crises, with a strong inverse relationship to money supply expansion and inflation. The article references historical performance, including gold's outperformance during the 2001 dot-com crash, 2008 financial crisis, and 2020 pandemic, and highlights that gold has never fallen to zero, unlike stocks or bonds.
