Hargreaves Lansdown Warns Against Bitcoin Investment
British investment giant Hargreaves Lansdown has issued a stark warning against Bitcoin and cryptocurrency investments, calling them too risky for most investors.

Gold surged to a record $4,000 per ounce as political uncertainty surrounding the U.S. government shutdown rattled financial markets, creating a stark backdrop for intensifying debates about artificial intelligence valuations.

Morgan Stanley’s Global Investment Committee has issued groundbreaking guidance recommending clients allocate 2-4% of their portfolios to Bitcoin, marking a seismic shift in traditional finance’s approach to digital assets.

Bitcoin’s potential to absorb global capital faces significant technical constraints, according to analyst BRITISH HODL. While BTC fundamentally changes capital allocation, it requires mechanisms to move capital directly on its network. Billionaire Ray Dalio adds a skeptical perspective, questioning Bitcoin’s viability as a reserve currency for nation-states, highlighting the complex reality behind Bitcoin’s transformative potential in global finance.
read moreRay Dalio Warns of Dollar Decline, Backs Bitcoin as Hedge
Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio has issued a stark warning about the U.S. dollar’s weakening position as the world’s reserve currency, citing soaring government debt service costs approaching $1 trillion annually and fresh borrowing needs that are eroding confidence in Treasuries. Dalio argues that this dynamic makes limited-supply assets like Bitcoin and gold increasingly attractive as alternative currencies. He suggests investors allocate up to 15% of their portfolios to such assets as protection against monetary debasement, while warning that the Federal Reserve faces a difficult choice between raising interest rates risk market turmoil or printing money that further weakens the dollar’s value. Foreign holders are already reducing exposure to U.S. bonds in favor of gold, indicating late-cycle stress that could accelerate a shift toward decentralized assets.
read moreRay Dalio: US Debt Crisis Boosts Crypto as Dollar Alternative
Ray Dalio’s September 2025 publication presents a stark warning about US fiscal sustainability, projecting a ‘debt-induced heart attack’ within 3 years due to trillion-dollar deficits and weakening bond demand. He identifies five converging forces—debt, politics, geopolitics, nature, and technology—that will drive ‘unimaginable changes’ in the monetary system. Dalio now categorizes cryptocurrency as a ‘hard currency’ alternative, noting its limited supply makes it attractive as dollar supply expands and demand falters. While maintaining concerns about volatility and regulation, he separates stablecoin risks from systemic fragility and emphasizes that debt dynamics, not deregulation, pose the primary threat to dollar reserve status. This marks Dalio’s continued evolution toward viewing crypto as a legitimate portfolio diversifier within late-cycle monetary transitions.

Ray Dalio has criticized the US government’s economic data collection methods after President Trump fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Erika McEntarfer, following a massive downward revision of job numbers. June’s job growth was revised from 147,000 to 14,000, while May’s figures dropped from 144,000 to 19,000—totaling a 258,000-job downward revision. Analysts suggest this could signal an economic slowdown. Dalio, while agreeing with the firing due to outdated data processes, warned against political motives and called for transparency. He emphasized the need for improved government economic estimates to ensure accuracy.
read moreDalio: Trump Pushes Dollar Debasement to Manage Debt
Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, claims President Trump is pushing to devalue the dollar as a strategy to manage the nation’s soaring debt. In a social media post, Dalio framed the tension between Trump and Fed Chair Jerome Powell as a conflict over monetary policy—with Trump favoring lower rates and currency debasement, while Powell resists. Dalio argues that history suggests the dollar will likely weaken further, as debt-laden economies traditionally resort to inflation and cheap money. He cites the 1970-82 cycle as a precedent and advises investors to expect continued dollar depreciation and low real interest rates.
