Ray Dalio, the founder and co-Chairman of Bridgewater Associates, the world’s largest hedge fund, said he sees three main problems with bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that will limit their future, including that governments will “outlaw” them should they start to become “material.”

“I don’t think digital currencies will succeed in the way people hope they would,” Dalio said.
“Would I prefer bitcoin to gold? No,” Dalio said.
