Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, has raised concerns about the Federal Reserve's decision to lower interest rates despite a robust U.S. economy. Dalio suggests that this policy could signal the end of a major economic cycle, characterized by excessive debt and heightened inflation risks. He warns that the Fed's monetary easing, coupled with expansionary fiscal policies, might lead to the monetization of U.S. public debt. This scenario could make assets like Bitcoin and gold attractive as hedges against potential currency depreciation.
