Robert Kiyosaki, author of the bestselling personal finance book ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’, is an active investor who never shies away from making bold predictions regarding the financial markets.
The financial educator has a long history of criticizing fiat currencies, which he often refers to as ‘fake money’. In contrast (and to little surprise), he’s quite bullish on cryptocurrencies — Bitcoin (BTC) in particular. To boot, Kiyosaki has consistently sung the praises of precious metals such as silver and gold, owing to their roles as hedges against inflation and stores of wealth.
Kiyosaki has attracted significant controversy – he is politically outspoken, heavily indebted, and has been accused of undue alarmism. On the other hand, it is impossible to ignore the impressive profits that his investments have secured. Over the course of 2024, the author’s portfolio netted a 76.03% return — by early February of 2025, his investments had gotten off to an auspicious start.
Now, the financial guru is ringing the alarm bells once again — as the famed investor took to social media platform X to share yet another portent of imminent doom.
Robert Kiyosaki doubles down on Bitcoin amid dire warning
Readers have most likely come across the term ‘bubble’ before. ‘An everything bubble’ is a phenomenon where all asset classes — stocks, bonds, real estate, and even cryptocurrencies, are inflated beyond their fundamental value.
That is the exact situation we are in currently — at least per Kiyosaki’s February 20 post. In addition, the author expressed that the aforementioned bubble is crashing — right now. To make matters worse, Kiyosaki correctly highlighted that, in situations like these, all asset classes — even cryptocurrencies like BTC, crash.
However, this hasn’t deterred the author — who emphatically stated that he would not sell his Bitcoin, even if it crashes. Au contraire, Robert Kiyosaki intends to buy even more BTC should prices crash.
“When the Everything Bubble crashes….which is happening now…Bitcoin will be the fastest to recover and climb to higher highs.”
His reasoning is simple — in Kiyosaki’s view, Bitcoin will be the asset that will see the fastest recovery, followed by a climb to higher highs, following the crash.
The boy who cried crash
Readers should note, however, that Kiyosaki habitually predicts crashes that subsequently fail to materialize.
Furthermore, while asset prices may currently be inflated (even significantly so), no evidence suggests that the ‘everything bubble’ has popped. At the time of writing, there was no sign of abnormal activity in the major indices.
The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average have rallied by 4.24% and 3.84% since the start of the year, respectively. While the DJIA has marked a small 0.56% pullback on the weekly chart, the S&P has marked a 0.94% gain in the same timeframe.
As valid as Robert Kiyosaki’s thesis on Bitcoin recovery might very well be, the rest of his prediction appears to be little more than a bid for engagement.
