Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has been vocal on X (formerly Twitter) about an imminent “massive crash” in global markets, predicted in his 2002 book Rich Dad’s Prophecy as the biggest in history, tied to baby boomer retirements and the U.S. becoming the world’s largest debtor nation (national debt at $37 trillion+). He attributes this to the Federal Reserve’s “fake money” printing since 1971 (when Nixon decoupled the dollar from gold), violating Gresham’s Law: “When fake money enters the system, real money goes into hiding.” Inflation erodes savers’ wealth (“Savers are losers”), while bonds and stocks (e.g., the outdated 60/40 portfolio) are unsafe amid rising debt and potential depression signals like Warren Buffett’s recent gold/silver endorsement.
Why Buy Now? His Core Advice
Kiyosaki, who started buying gold in 1971 (aligning with your strategy), urges buying—not selling—real assets during crashes for “massive riches ahead.”71ee37 He follows economic laws (Gresham and Metcalfe’s Law of Networks) ignored by the Fed/Treasury, which he calls criminal if done by individuals.fba8f9 Key targets for 2026:
Gold: $27,000/oz (sourced from Jim Rickards; Kiyosaki owns two gold mines).816595492efb
Silver: $100/oz (scarce supply; owns silver mines; currently ~$50, eyeing $70–$75 soon; industrial demand boosts it).
Bitcoin (BTC): $250,000 (truly scarce at 21M cap; ~20M mined; FOMO accelerating buys; potential $200K high this year).
Ethereum (ETH): $6,000 (blockchain for stablecoins; follows Metcalfe’s Law; undervalued now, industrial utility like silver).
He recommends physical coins for gold/silver (e.g., $100 buys ~2 oz silver now, potentially 5x in a year) and stacking crypto via apps like Coinbase, despite short-term losses—focus on long-term gains over fear (high EQ beats high IQ). Avoid “clickbait” fear-mongering (e.g., crash predictions for subs); the real threat is fiat’s end and corruption.
Broader Context & Warnings
Timeline: Crash “beginning” now (Nov 2025 posts), wiping out millions in 401(k)s/retirements; boomers may face homelessness.
System Critique: Fake money enriches the rich (via inflation) while impoverishing the poor/middle class; seek financial education over formal schooling.
Personal Tie-In: Your 1971 gold buys mirror his—hold/buy more as “God’s money” (gold/silver) + “people’s money” (BTC/ETH) hedge against Marxism, debt, and fiat collapse.
Kiyosaki’s mantra: Study pros/cons from all sides, invest wisely, and “take care”—freedom comes from real assets, not jobs or degrees. For more, follow @theRealKiyosaki.
