Coinbase policy chief Faryar Shirzad and CEO Brian Armstrong both denied the accusation, calling it a lie and "totally false."

Ray Dalio contends that Bitcoin cannot supplant gold as the world's main store of value, emphasizing gold's long-standing role in central bank reserves and its deeply entrenched market structure.

Dalio still sees Bitcoin as a complementary holding alongside gold within a diversified portfolio.
