<p><strong>Ray Dalio</strong>, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43259076/billionaire-investor-ray-dalio-sounds-alarm-on-potential-ai-stock-bubble-akin-to-dotcom-crash-very-similar-to-where-we-were-between-1998-or-1999">founder of Bridgewater Associates</a>, has shared his insights on the current U.S. fiscal situation and potential global economic challenges, addressing the role of <strong>Bitcoin </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) in the process.</p>
<p><strong>What Happened:</strong> Dalio weighed in on the U.S. debt crisis and the best assets for preserving wealth in an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_rvVTuGRNE">interview</a> on the All-In podcast. </p>
<p>Dalio highlighted the U.S. fiscal deficit at 7% of GDP—the highest among industrialized nations.</p>
<p>With rising debt levels and uncontrolled spending, investors are looking for alternatives to the dollar. </p>
<p>Between Bitcoin and gold, Dalio favors gold as the superior store of value, citing its long-standing resilience and lower regulatory risks. </p>
<p>He owns some Bitcoin but &#8220;not nearly as much as gold,&#8221; choosing to diversify his holdings strategically.</p>
<p>Dalio warns that the U.S. is facing a critical debt situation, with federal government debt at 125% of GDP and projected to rise significantly. </p>
<p>He emphasizes the need for immediate action, proposing a &#8220;3% solution&#8221; to cut the deficit to 3% of GDP from its current 7.5%.</p>
<p>&#8220;Do it soon, fast, when the time is good, when the economy is good,&#8221; Dalio urges. He stresses that delaying action will only make future cuts more severe due to compounding interest.</p>

<p><strong>Why It Matters:</strong> Dalio stresses diversification and warns against overvaluing trendy sectors like AI. He added, "A great company that gets expensive is much worse than a bad company that&#8217;s really cheap."</p>
<p>He sees rising global fragmentation and conflict and warns of a possible U.S. civil war alongside international tensions. </p>
<p>Dalio predicts AI will upend employment, possibly triggering socialist policies and economic turbulence.</p>
<p>Dalio expresses concern about AI&#8217;s disruptive effects on employment and the potential rise of socialism. </p>
<p>He predicts &#8220;a period in that 10-year period where it&#8217;s going to be hellacious&#8221; as economic problems cause more confrontation globally.</p>

Victoria's Secret Shares Drop Following CFO Transition Announcement

<p>The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles are set to meet in <strong>Super Bowl LIX</strong> on Feb. 9 with the Chiefs seeking to become the first NFL franchise to win <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/02/37080383/three-peat-super-bowl-lix-odds-kansas-city-chiefs-back-to-back-to-back-payout">three straight Super Bowls.</a></p>
<p>The Chiefs could also help set some new viewership records.</p>
<p><strong>What Happened: </strong>The Chiefs were <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/01/42829221/how-to-watch-nfl-playoffs-super-bowl-lix-betting-odds-will-history-be-made-by-chiefs-or-lions">one of the favorites </a>to reach the Super Bowl in New Orleans and their appearance was expected by many sportsbooks.</p>
<p>With the media rights to Super Bowl LIX,<strong> Fox Corporation</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOX#NASDAQ">FOX</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FOXA#NASDAQ">FOXA</a>) may also be happy that the Chiefs are back in the Super Bowl for a third straight year.</p>
<p>The Chiefs have been the most-watched NFL team during the 2024 season and continue to see record viewership for some NFL media partners.</p>
<p>The AFC Championship game featuring the Chiefs and Buffalo Bills was watched by nearly 58 million people, setting a record for the AFC Championship, as reported by <a href="https://deadline.com/2025/01/afc-nfc-championship-ratings-2025-chiefs-eagles-1236270977/">Deadline</a>. The game had around two million more viewers than last year's AFC Championship game, which was the previous record holder.</p>
<p>The Chiefs and Bills game was the second of the two conference championship games that aired on Sunday. <strong>Paramount Global</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARAA#NASDAQ">PARAA</a>) had the Chiefs and Bills game, while Fox had the earlier NFC Championship game on the same day.</p>
<p>The Eagles beat the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship. The bad news for Fox is that earlier game had 44.2 million viewers, which was down year-over-year and the lowest average viewership for the NFC title game since the 2018 season.</p>
<p>The Chiefs, Bills and Paramount may have benefitted from being in the later slot.</p>

<p><strong>Why It's Important: </strong>During the NFL season, the Chiefs regularly ranked as the most-viewed game of the week and saw high viewership.</p>
<p>The team helped <strong>Netflix Inc</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>)<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/12/42711504/lebron-james-vs-nfl-nba-star-says-christmas-is-our-day-2024-ratings-paint-a-different-picture"> set streaming records</a> with one of two NFL games aired on Christmas Day. A game between the Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers was watched by an average of 24.3 million people on Netflix.</p>
<p>A Chiefs game with the Las Vegas Raiders on <strong>Amazon.com Inc </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) streaming platform Prime Video on Black Friday <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/12/42354185/nfl-games-set-thanksgiving-day-records-why-this-is-good-and-bad-news-for-streaming-giant-netflix">was watched by</a> 13.51 million people, up 41% year-over-year.</p>
<p>Last year's Super Bowl (Super Bowl LVIII) featured the Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers. The game set Super Bowl records for viewership with an average of 123 million viewers. A total of 202.4 million people watched at least part of Super Bowl LVIII.</p>
<p>Super Bowl LVIII set streaming records for Paramount+ and has numbers that could be tough to top.</p>
<p>The narrative of people being sick of the Chiefs winning could be a key to watch for Super Bowl LIX viewership along with the Eagles being part of the lower NFC Championship viewership.</p>
<p>The Chiefs have shown in the 2024 season and playoffs that they are the most-watched team and based on the records set for several games earlier this season, Super Bowl LIX could set Super Bowl records for a second straight year.</p>
