“I would prefer gold,” said Ray Dalio on Chris Williamson’s YouTube podcast.

The investor added that he is not a big fan of bitcoin, but admitted that he "has a little".

“Like I said, you have to be prepared for BTC to drop a lot. It could drop by 80% or so,” Dalio suggests.

The market capitalization of Bitcoin is about $574 billion, and the price of one BTC now exceeds $29,000.

“I don’t understand why people are more inclined towardsbitcoin than gold. Looking internationally, gold is the third largest reserve asset for central banks. First dollars, then euros, then gold and then the Japanese yen. And central banks are buying gold, not bonds,” says the billionaire.
