‘No privacy’ CBDCs will come, warns billionaire Ray Dalio
Hedge fund manager Ray Dalio warns that CBDCs will eliminate financial privacy and enable governments to tax, seize funds, and cut off political opponents.
American billionaire and hedge fund manager Ray Dalio has warned that central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) are coming, which will offer benefits but also potentially allow governments to exert more control over people’s finances.
“I think it will be done,” said Dalio on CBDCs in a wide-ranging interview on the Tucker Carlson Show on Monday, which also included topics on the US debt crisis, gold prices, and even a potential civil war.
Raymond Dalio is a billionaire hedge fund manager who has been co-chief investment officer of Bridgewater Associates since 1985, after founding the firm in 1975.
