The “Rich Dad Poor Dad” author says he’s buying Bitcoin, Ethereum, gold, and silver as “real money” while warning of an impending economic crash.
Kiyosaki Doubles Down on Hard Assets
Best-selling author and financial educator Robert Kiyosaki is once again turning heads with his bold market predictions. In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, Kiyosaki warned that a major economic crash is on the horizon — but said he’s buying, not selling.
“Crash coming: Why I am buying, not selling,” Kiyosaki wrote, revealing new price targets of $250,000 for Bitcoin (BTC), $27,000 for gold, and $100 for silver by 2026.
According to Kiyosaki, his gold forecast is inspired by economist Jim Rickards, while his Bitcoin prediction aligns with his long-standing belief that BTC serves as protection against the Federal Reserve’s “fake money.”
Turning Bullish on Ethereum
While Kiyosaki has long been vocal about Bitcoin, he’s now turning bullish on Ethereum (ETH) as well. Citing Fundstrat’s Tom Lee, he argued that Ethereum’s growing role in stablecoin infrastructure gives it a “unique edge in global finance.”
His optimism stems from two economic principles:
- Gresham’s Law: “Bad money drives out good.”
- Metcalfe’s Law: The value of a network grows exponentially with the number of users.
Together, he believes these forces will amplify the long-term value of both Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Kiyosaki, who says he owns gold and silver mines, continued his sharp criticism of U.S. monetary policy, accusing the Federal Reserve and Treasury of “printing fake money” to cover ballooning debts.
Calling the U.S. “the biggest debtor nation in history,” he reiterated that the only true protection lies in hard assets — not fiat savings or paper investments.
Market Signals and Supporting Views
Some analysts are echoing Kiyosaki’s bullish stance. Data from Crypto Crib shows Bitcoin’s Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio has returned to 1.8, a level that historically precedes 30–50% rebounds in BTC price.
At the same time, Arthur Hayes, former BitMEX CEO, has warned that rising U.S. debt will force the Federal Reserve into “stealth quantitative easing (QE)” — injecting liquidity into the system through repo operations to support Treasury financing, which could indirectly fuel a Bitcoin rally.
While mainstream markets brace for volatility, Robert Kiyosaki remains unshaken in his conviction. With his sights set on $250K Bitcoin and $27K gold by 2026, he’s reinforcing his decades-long message:
In times of crisis, the real winners are those who own real money — not paper promises.
