Ray Dalio — founder of Bridgewater Associates — is widely respected for his deep macroeconomic insights 🌍📉. He famously predicted:
✅ Japan’s 1989 asset bubble collapse
✅ The rising influence of China vs. U.S. power decline
✅ The long-term debt cycle and the weakening of the U.S. dollar 💵
Why Dalio sees the dollar declining:
1️⃣ *Debt Burden*: The U.S. national debt is skyrocketing past $34 trillion. Dalio believes too much debt leads to inflation or debasement of currency 📉.
2️⃣ *Declining Trust in U.S. Institutions*: Geopolitical tension, internal division, and instability weaken investor confidence in the U.S. economy 🏛️.
3️⃣ *Shift to Multipolar World*: Dalio argues we are entering a new world order where the dollar won't be the dominant reserve forever 🌐. BRICS and other nations are diversifying away.
4️⃣ *History Repeats*: He compares today’s U.S. to the end of previous empires (Dutch, British) — where military overreach, inflation, and inequality triggered decline ⏳.

Dalio doesn’t predict collapse overnight. He sees a *gradual shift* toward multipolarity — and believes diversification (gold, China exposure, real assets, crypto) is key 🧠💡.
🚨 "If history is any guide," Dalio warns, "the dollar’s strength won’t last forever."
