Ray Dalio wants to invest in crypto



 Even if Ray Dalio can't quite match Warren Buffet's cult status, his word carries weight. The 72-year-old American is the founder and now co-chief of Bridgewater Associates, the world's largest hedge fund. Bridgewater currently has approximately $150 billion in assets under management. These include money from numerous pension and insurance funds. According to reports from CoinDeskThe Connecticut investment firm plans to back an outside vehicle with exposure to cryptocurrencies. However, it is said that they do not want to invest directly in Bitcoin and Co. Other well-known crypto investors are already being discussed. However, the stake in crypto is said to be a very small portion of Bridgewater's investments, it said. However, the announcement could have a certain signal effect and attract more institutional funds into the crypto space.


Ray Dalio's path to bitcoin

Like so many, Ray Dalio wasn't exactly enthusiastic about cryptocurrencies at the beginning. It was only last year that his opinion on Bitcoin and Co. seemed to be slowly changing. First, in January 2021, he described BTC as a “damn good invention” in an internal memo . In an interview with the news channel  CNBC  last year, he even classified Bitcoin as an “alternative currency”, but backtracked a bit by emphasizing that regulation was too strictrepresents the greatest risk for the still young Internet currency. He is no longer alone in the world of hedge fund managers with his positive attitude towards crypto. Earlier this year, star investor Bill Miller revealed in an interview with Wealthtrack that he holds at least 50 percent of his wealth in Bitcoin-related assets. The investor bought his first Bitcoin in 2014 at a price of 200 US dollars. Personalities such as Paul Tudor Jones or Stanley Druckenmiller are now among the Bitcoin fans.


However, Dalio's optimism about Bitcoin may also be due to his dislike of the US dollar. In an interview at the World Economic Forum 2019 in Davos, Dalio attracted a lot of attention with the statement "Cash is trash". In his book "Big Debt Crisis" the 72-year-old deals with the rise and fall of the last three world reserve currencies. In Dalio's view, currency dominance moves in three cycles that can occur simultaneously. In the first cycle, debt and financial assets are created. In the subsequent second cycle, conflicts arise due to growing wealth differences, while in the third cycle an emerging major power challenges the existing reserve currency.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
