While I have been explaining for some time my thinking about gold (I like it) and debt assets (I don't like them) as storeholds of wealth in the context of how the world order is changing, now that gold is hotter than AI stocks (and the meme is now changing to recognize that it

@RayDalio Why was gold chosen as the premier monetary asset over silver, when silver has more utility?

@RayDalio I loaned a relative $10K to build a gold dredging boat 15 years ago and he paid me back 3 yrs later in actual gold (cubes and nuggets). He was on a History channel gold digger show. He made a lot of money selling gold and died 10 years ago. What the hell do I do with this gold?

@RayDalio You’ve said Bitcoin and other crypto assets have merits as alternative storeholds of wealth but also face risks. As trust in fiat and debt assets declines, what role do you think Bitcoin and altcoins could realistically play in the next world monetary order alongside gold?

@RayDalio Gold is a fantastic investment until it isn’t. It generate nothing and you can’t eat it, but it won’t default. How could a regular person be expected to time the gold market as to not avoid stagnation when growth returns at reasonable price to earnings without risking selling at

@RayDalio At what gold price levels does it start NOT making sense to buy gold?

@RayDalio Dear RayDalio, Many people compare gold and Bitcoin, but I have a question about gold itself. Is gold also finite and likely to become even scarcer in the future? Everyone talks about Bitcoin's finite supply, but I've heard some say gold isn't finite, which is why I'm asking.

@RayDalio How safe is it to buy a gold backed ETF? Should I invest in physical gold instead?

@RayDalio Are we in a gold bubble right now? If so, what signs should we look for of a gold bubble popping?

@RayDalio JP Morgan in 1912 said “gold is money, everything else is credit”. Why can’t the world go back onto a gold standard which is the morally correct thing to do?

@RayDalio How many recessions have you predicted and how many actually happened 😂

@RayDalio If gold is priced in dollars, then how do we know its true value beyond fiat debasement?

@RayDalio How does this debt cycle end? We can all see it’s not sustainable. But can’t we just keep kicking the can down the road? It appears that this is a global issue so which region of the world is best prepared to address the problem?

@RayDalio Your are the clone

@RayDalio Bitcoin vs. Gold?

@RayDalio This time it's different? The arguments on debasement/inflation/etc. were all similar back in the 1970s. I remember when it hit nearly $700/oz and then 2 years later it was half that number and went into a protracted bear market. I am a fan of gold but I worry it will be

@RayDalio Why do you always talk about wealth inequality being a huge problem when you're a hoarder of extreme wealth yourself directly contributing to the wealth inequality?

@RayDalio @RayDalio – In The Changing World Order and How Countries Go Broke, you describe how social unrest and (often kinetic) geopolitical conflict are two of the five coincident markers of changing world orders. In such an environment, physical security becomes structurally

@RayDalio Gold played a major role for decades before 1970. Do you think it could return to playing that same role again, or is its purpose different this time?

@RayDalio What do you believe will happen to the value of Real Estate ? Please compare Real Estate versus Gold as stores of value and investment potential over the next 5 to 10 years

@RayDalio What do you think of Silver? I have been accumulating Silver for a long time and think it has more upside than Gold right now.

@RayDalio An AI clone is a 300 IQ move

@RayDalio Do you believe that palladium-due to its scarcity- will outperform gold, silver, and platinum for the remainder of the decade if the debt crisis continues to spiral out of control?

@RayDalio Today the ‘gold’ mostly people are buying is rarely physical gold, instead just number betting on the digital market, that’s no different than slot machine, it is not investing, it is gambling.

@RayDalio Ray, you have said to cap gold exposure at 15% in the past. Now that you don’t recommend bonds - has that number increased for someone that is focussed on wealth preservation? If not - what other productive assets are there that cap downside like bonds to protect against a

@RayDalio Who is constantly buying the top? 3.8, 3.9, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2? There’s zero momentum reduction

@RayDalio Given gold’s recent surge, the % of your portfolio allocated to it has likely risen well above your starting level. Do you rebalance that back down, or let it ride as a strategic long-term position?

@RayDalio How does the monetary reset happen with the ongoing present crisis. What’s the solution for governments?

@RayDalio Mr. Dalio, How do you reconcile gold’s rising appeal as a neutral reserve asset with the structural shift toward digital and productivity-based value creation driven by AI-specifically, do you foresee a regime where algorithmic capital allocation and tokenized real assets

@RayDalio Capital’s rotating back into gold ‘cause faith in governments and debt fading… what does the replacement era really look like when gold becomes collateral again? How you see transactions being handled in that kind of system?

@RayDalio How do you differentiate between debasement, and the debasement trade? The latter should cause an overreaction and at least a temporary overvaluation for monetary alternatives, no?

@RayDalio Hi Ray, can you please share the best way to request an interview with you? It’s imperative to educate the public — especially young people — about the current financial situation and the changing world order. I would like to get more of your thoughts on our debt and hard money.

@RayDalio can you discuss any emerging technological uses for gold? novel upcoming uses in satellites/semiconductors/etc?

@RayDalio What is the current range of allocations that central banks are targeting and how do you see this migrating over the next 3-5y? What other assets (if any) are being considered by central banks as fiat diversifiers?

@RayDalio People keep insisting it’s not gold going up in value but the dollar losing value. I agree with Lynette Zang who said a couple of years ago that gold’s real nominal value at the time was around $15K. IMO she it’s right and it is just playing catch up and we’re not heading into

@RayDalio Why do the paper markets exist in the first place? What general benefit do they provide to the economy?

@RayDalio Ray, I have a question on the correlation between Bitcoin vs Gold. Conceptually their correlation should gradually increase as they both embody the same value in replacement of irresponsible fiat issuance. However, we have seen the opposite lately - showing a negative corr. Why?
