Ray Dalio Admits He May Be Wrong About Bitcoin"

[drlukacs]

Yes and Ray Dalio was wrong.  Previously I had the same opinion as him, I thought that governments wouldn't accept Bitcoin because it would make the Mafia organization stronger.
I just did not expect that the major countries of the world were more important economically than politics, they were materialists and thus allowed Bitcoin to be legally traded in their own countries.  So, I was wrong to be too subjective in the credibility of government

We've heard a lot of people like him talking about bitcoin and just think it has no chance of being a good asset in the future while if they just look at how the market is greatly changing, they will just be there sitting as the price boost up into new heights. I am used to these kinds of people and it is great that he accepted his mistake, hope he considers investing too.

So from the statements he has made I can see that he was afraid of the volatility of Bitcoin. It’s normal with people who are just getting to know about Bitcoin, they will always be afraid of the volatility of the Bitcoin. And that third statement he made about bitcoin not being good as store of value because it can drop at any moment and the money invested will lose value, well he’s right.

But that’s not much of a problem, anyone that’s getting into cryptocurrency should know better, they should know that they have to be careful.

I can't get hold of the "bitcoin is too volatile" argument.
IS bitcoin volatile? are you (a generic "you") serious?
Look at TSLA.
TSLA is going to be added to the Standard&Poor's 500 index soon.
TSLA volatility is higher than bitcoin volatility, yet nobody gives a fuck about this.
Actually everyone says TSLA volatility is actually a success as they are celebrating the success of the company measured by the stock price. Stock price that could get there only because the share price is volatile!

There will be a lot of people who will come out and say that they are wrong about crypto, this is just the start. We are just 10-11 years old right now, think about what bitcoin can do in another 10-20 years and all of these people will be forced to get involved after a while.

Government ban is not needed because there are tons of governments all around the world who already made laws about crypto and how it could be considered and taxed, which is enough. People still go around talking about how "what happens if USA bans it!!" but the reality is USA allows it, NY has bitlicense and Ohio literally takes crypto payment for crypto related taxes. So, do not be worried about governments, they are not going to suddenly change their mind 180 degrees and decide to ban it all together.

I am wondering how people predict that bitcoin will be useless in the future, can't they watch the fluctuation of bitcoin's market?.
This isn't new I've seen numerous people taking a negative idea for bitcoin and deceive the clients and later they accompany the apologies.
Anyway glad to hear he admin his mistake and now there are huge chances that bitcoin will rise more.
I wish the government additionally accept his mix-up and make it legitimate for their people

The reason that guy agreed to correct himself during the time of bullish run sounds to me like he got some bitcoins himself and is waiting for a rally.

1. You can engage in p2p exchange very easily without intermediary plus we do have many new sites emerging selling stuff which can be purchased in Bitcoins

2. The Volatility does make it an excellent option when it comes to trading and thus the limited supply is all +++ ..

3. Government is themselves getting benefited from the crypto businesses like online casinos. They don't want to ban Bitcoins, they can't, they want to regulate them.

He is already a billionaire, he doesnt have to correct himself at this point.  If I was of that age and status, I'd just go fishing and resign the money to simple gold or other boring assets as right or wrong he is fine forever.
 Obviously he has a personal and also professional curiosity as to the nature of this thing that was supposed collapse long ago.   Generally he is a smart guy worth listening to and he knows dollar is a failed standard where as Buffet wont admit anything dramatic unfolds.

What does he mean by becoming material?

I dont think he means physical but that governments enforce laws, so contracts to demand or secure BTC would rely on a government in his view.   If its not legal whats its worth and says BTC is gone as soon as the printing press of FIAT finds itself challenged, its not an unreasonable thought process.   The main mistake made by multiple billionaires of this type is in not recognising or accepting how technology might alter the landscape they previously profited on, Buffet has admitted he cant consider modern tech as he cant value it so that might be the closest we get to an admission.

[Princejebs]

Some bitcoin maximalist may think the billionaire is anti bitcoin, but Ray Dalio has said the truth many has ignored.
No one should expect bitcoin and government mini fight has ended and hence they may approve bitcoin ITF.
There are some aspects bitcoin hasn't really been friendly with, volatility is one of the sweetest thing in cryptocurrency as you can easily make profits but one can easily make you loss all capital ( fortune included).
There are some regulations that aren't really friendly to Btc in some countries and we do overlook them, they needed to be table out so as to know the next thing bitcoin and its futures.

I have the same feeling also that he is also investing in crypto, maybe not only bitcoin but other alts like eth. So he is being open-mind about this. Maybe, he has limited information regarding the availability of crypto in terms of merchants or shops that are already accepting crypto as part of their payment system. But with the move of PayPal accepting crypto in their system, more people will be oriented with crypto.

I think so because Ray Dalio would not believe bitcoin if he had not tried it or even other altcoins. He is also a crypto investor for sure.  Bitcoin  already exist and use for many years that's why those people who didn't believe before, they now understand and use it.

I think everyone can argue about bitcoin, and there are some other people who support and deflect bitcoin. So my response is casual and doesn't really care about it, because everyone will always argue if the truth is still uncertain. for example in bitcoin which will be legalized by governments around the world or not.

Those who had bought when they thought it is going to have a big demand in future today will be making profits and enjoying it. Other were against it and still against are audience who anyways will be fumed now considering they have missed this bull ride and their anger would be more in negative way itself rather than accepting it. Those who accept and move on are the ones who have learned it.
