Seeing Dalio openly talking about this is not to be underestimated

Does make me wonder though: in an era when you can just save in Bitcoin, with self-custody, and outperform the average fund, why would you ever invest via a fund?

Ie the fund managers are truly under threat

I can see a world where you put together a fund for niche exposure, high risk stuff

Or more conventional equity investing

But the average fund is a thing of the past

Counter party risk

Inflation risk

Liquidity risk

Rather than being a fund manager, a far better use of time would be to simple save in Bitcoin, teach others that same skill, then focus on what you want to do

🤔

Dalio is a scam artist, Chinese owned

Hasn’t this dude been saying this for years?

Most (more than 90%) of Portfolio Managers are incentivized to hug the benchmark and don't even outperform S&P 500 after fees and taxes.

Buying spot Bitcoin and not doing anything is most likely going to outperform more than 99% of PMs long-term.

Ray Dalio is a broken record - repeats the same stuff and is always wrong - a true product of the fiat fuckery, QE era.

During periods of low GCP (Gross Consent Product), you can't have long-term crises. Instead, you have financial repression (3-4% CPI), and short (2-8 week crises) - long-enough to force the population to beg their government for a solution, not long-enough to birth alternative solutions outside the system.

Low GCP = Liquidity is choppy but net accommodative - bill-heavy issuance, facility templates, quick pivots on volatility spikes.

Yeah the government is asked to step in to solve a situation they created in the first place far too often

Reframe. Take your power back. Humanity steps in to solve the problems that humanity created. Stop asking. Act. You either act or you don't.

Couldn’t agree more. Self-custody changes everything. The old system just can’t compete.
