Bitcoin Should Be Treated Like Gold and Oil, According to Ray Dalio

2025/10/03 19:05

Ray Dalio, the billionaire founder of Bridgewater Associates, says Bitcoin’s scarcity and its acceptance as a store of value put it in the same conversation as precious metals. He emphasized that its fixed limit of 21 million coins makes it resilient against the inflationary risks of fiat currencies. At the same time, he questioned whether governments and central banks would ever treat it like a reserve asset, warning that regulations and the demand for transparency in official balance sheets could hold it back.

Dalio’s cautious optimism echoes views from other prominent investors. Robert Kiyosaki, for example, has consistently grouped Bitcoin with gold and silver as essential hedges against global financial shocks. Both men argue that strained bond markets and falling demand for U.S. treasuries are pushing investors toward assets that can’t be inflated at will.

But while Wall Street’s heavyweights debate Bitcoin’s role in the financial system, market data shows traders are actively locking in profits. Analytics firm CryptoQuant recorded more than $3.7 billion in realized gains in a single day – one of the largest sell-offs of 2025 so far. Analysts noted that such events often come from long-term holders cashing out parts of their positions, not short-term speculators trying to flip, meaning upward momentum can still continue.

Futures markets reflect that optimism. Open interest in Bitcoin contracts has soared to a record $88 billion, while spot ETFs continue to absorb fresh inflows. Together, these signs point to an environment where institutions are becoming increasingly comfortable betting on BTC’s long-term role.

Major banks are also sketching bold scenarios. Citigroup has outlined a potential peak of $231,000 within the next year, while JPMorgan estimates that Bitcoin could climb to $165,000 if it continues to gain parity with gold in terms of risk-adjusted returns. Both firms note that the token’s volatility has eased compared to earlier years, a development they interpret as evidence of a maturing market.

With profit-taking surging, whales accumulating, and Wall Street assigning six-figure targets, Bitcoin finds itself at the center of both speculation and validation. For Dalio, the conversation no longer revolves around whether Bitcoin is real money – but whether it can hold its ground in the same league as gold and oil.

️Bitcoin: A Safe Haven Amidst Tariffs?

Many months before publishing this article, I came across a post by @Arthur Hayes on his X account that caught my attention. Since I consider him intelligent, even if he isn’t always right, I decided to review the entire Twitter thread to understand the logic behind his statement. On the post published on April 4th, he believes that Bitcoin and gold prices will increase in the mid-term thanks to tariffs that are scaring investors in the US, while the dollar index will lose strength as it is going to happen with the most influential fiat currencies due to quantitative easing.Arthur Hayes tweet Honestly, this is what many have been expecting because the FED has followed the same formula after the 2008 crisis. Inflating the money supply has been the only magic method they have applied to prevent a disaster. However, even if we all know that this isn’t preventing a system collapse but postponing it until we finally fall under a global inflation or stagflation, we are expectant or looking for that “safe haven”. For many, it has been a gold role because it has performed during inflationary times. For some others like us, tech-driven people, the question was whether an injection of liquidity into the market would boost Bitcoin’s value. So, when and why might this happen? This is why this article aims to explain a potential Bitcoin scenario amid the tariffs imposed on April 2nd. Tariffs📈→ Rate✂️s & QE → Bitcoin📈? This is apparently the plan that the Trump administration has had since the beginning of its mandate. Donald Trump has always been hostile to China due to the threat that it represents for American hegemony in terms of international business. For this reason, the Trump administration needs to weaken the dollar to increase exports before China takes the absolute lead in every aspect of the economy, as it has been doing over the last years.Created by: BlockNumberZero. Find the data source here: https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/NOxg7/2/ The macroeconomic events of April confirmed this theory since the global market has been reacting after new tariff rates were published by the USA, especially in Europe.Main European Markets indicators (4th April, 2025).

However, the results of these negotiations are two. Some tariffs were changed, and others were put on hold. Back in April, I believed that not only investors but also international companies would hesitate to sell or do business with the US, which would weaken the dollar usage even more, especially in economies that are implementing other currencies for their international transactions. Even if that hasn’t been happening, but all the opposite, my theory is still ongoing since it is a long-term macroeconomic game.U.S. International Transactions, 2nd Quarter 2025.

This may set the American economy into trouble since its economy could slow down and few companies would feel confident to invest, opening possibilities to an economic collapse. However, it could be at this moment when aggressive rate cuts may arrive to save the American economy, and additionally, a QE program could motivate companies to take loans and reinvest in their operations. As we know, QE could significantly push up Bitcoin’s price since this trend has been perfectly aligned for many years.Bitcoin and M2 Growth Global Chart. Source:https://charts.bgeometrics.com/index.html Market slowdowns and money-easing relationships have existed long before Bitcoin’s creation. Governments around the world have used these strategies to prevent collapses like the one that happened during 2008–2010. I would say this is why Bitcoin was created. Conclusion Even if short-term results could play differently than expected, long-term consequences for the economy are based on the logic of the money supply and the reasons why liquidity goes to markets that move faster and with fewer restrictions. 🛡️Bitcoin: A Safe Haven Amidst Tariffs? was originally published in Coinmonks on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story
