TD₿: Ray Dalio Warns Of Monetary Order Breakdown - is Bitcoin the Wildcard? - (a Swan original video) with Hurley
TL;DR: Ray Dalio says the monetary order is breaking down—and the U.S. may be quietly building a Bitcoin reserve. Could Bitcoin become the wildcard in a new global financial order?
Hey Bitcoiners,
Ray Dalio warns that we’re on the verge of something far more serious than a recession—a structural breakdown of the global monetary order driven by five converging forces: massive debt, internal political division, rising global tensions, natural disruptions, and rapid technological change. Bitcoin, in this context, may be the technological wildcard—a decentralized, censorship-resistant alternative to collapsing fiat systems.
The Trump administration appears to agree. Bo Hines, head of the President’s Council on Digital Assets, says the U.S. aims to become the world’s Bitcoin superpower through creative, budget-neutral accumulation strategies. From revaluing gold reserves to using seized assets and tariffs, every option is on the table. As traditional systems unravel, Bitcoin is being positioned as a strategic asset for national resilience.
