Founder of Bridgewater Fund: Still holding BTC, but gold is more suitable for private holding and not taxed than BTC

Odaily Planet Daily News Bridgewater Fund founder Ray Dalio talked about Bitcoin again in a recent podcast interview, and also mentioned the DeepSeek craze. He said that he saw currency depreciation through market trends, especially relative to gold, Bitcoin or other physical assets. More generally, all fiat currencies are depreciating, while gold, Bitcoin or other hard assets are relatively appreciating. Bitcoin or other digital assets are a topic worth discussing. Although commodities can hedge inflation, they do not have a storage function. People cannot hold oil or wheat for a long time as a wealth storage tool like holding gold or Bitcoin. In addition, he revealed that he still holds some Bitcoin, but it is far less than gold. Bitcoin is one of his diversified investments, but he prefers gold because gold has several unique advantages: it can flow freely between countries; central banks of various countries use it as a reserve asset; it is more difficult to regulate than Bitcoin and can be held more "privately"; and gold cannot be easily taxed, but Bitcoin is different-regulators know the transaction path of Bitcoin and it is easy to regulate and tax it.
