**Billionaire Ray Dalio warns of an "economic heart attack" 💥**
In a recent interview, Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, said the global economy — especially the U.S. — is in serious trouble due to massive government overspending and rising debt.
He explained that the U.S. earns around \$5 trillion but spends \$7 trillion — 40% more than it makes. With debt already six times its income, Dalio says the financial system is becoming unstable, like a body with blocked arteries.
He warned that the government may have to borrow \$12 trillion next year, leading to more money printing and possibly inflation. This, he said, could bring long-term damage to the value of paper (fiat) currencies.
Dalio suggests people should protect themselves by putting **about 15%** of their investment portfolio into **gold or Bitcoin** — assets that can hold value better over time.
He sees gold as the world’s second-biggest reserve currency now, even ahead of the euro, and believes Bitcoin also has potential as a “monetary asset,” even if it’s not yet accepted by central banks.
