Dalio: "There is only one kind of gold," Bitcoin is not a true safe haven tool for central banks

Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio criticized Bitcoin in a podcast, calling it "digital gold," emphasizing that gold is the most mature form of currency, and highlighting three major risks of Bitcoin: lack of central bank backing, insufficient privacy protection, and the threat of quantum computing.

U.S. President Trump has shown a contradictory stance on military actions against Iran, making the market's assessment of conflict risk more difficult and leading to downside pressure on risk assets such as Bitcoin. Technical analysts warn that if Bitcoin cannot break through the key resistance level, it may fall below $60,000, triggering a chain of liquidations and further declines. Market uncertainty has increased, but analysts believe this is just a process of clearing out weak investors, and the bull market is not over.
