Robert Kiyosaki Says “Crash Coming” but He’s Buying, Not Selling
est-selling Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki is once again sounding the alarm on the U.S. economy and doubling down on hard assets instead of selling them.
In a new post on X (formerly Twitter), Kiyosaki warned, “Crash coming,” but added, “That’s why I’m buying, not selling.”
He outlined aggressive price targets: gold $27,000, Bitcoin $250,000, silver $100, and Ethereum $60 by 2026.
Kiyosaki’s Case for Gold and Bitcoin
Kiyosaki said he began buying gold in 1971, the year President Richard Nixon ended the dollar’s direct link to gold. He claimed that decision “violated Gresham’s Law,” which he paraphrased as “when fake money enters the system, real money goes into hiding.”
He told followers his forecast for gold came from investor Jim Rickards and his Bitcoin target from long-time crypto bull Tom Lee. Kiyosaki noted he personally owns two gold mines and several silver mines, adding that new silver supply is “scarce.”
According to him, Ethereum’s role as the primary blockchain for stablecoins means it will follow Metcalfe’s Law, the principle that a network’s value grows with the square of its users, giving ETH room to rise as crypto adoption expands.
“Savers Are Losers”
Sticking to one of his signature lines, Kiyosaki said America’s problem is too much debt and too much money printing.
“The U.S. Treasury and Fed break the laws of money,” he wrote. “They print fake money to pay their bills. If you and I did that, we’d be in jail.”
Calling the United States “the biggest debtor nation in history,” he repeated that “savers are losers.” He argued that holding cash erodes wealth while tangible or decentralized assets preserve it.
Why He’s Buying Through the Downturn
Despite warning of an imminent crash, Kiyosaki said he continues buying gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum even when prices drop. He described the downturns as opportunities, not threats, citing his belief that following “the laws of money”, Gresham’s and Metcalfe’s, will lead to “massive riches ahead.”
His post fits a long pattern of contrarian investing advice. Over the years, Kiyosaki has urged readers to treat crashes as wealth-transfer events, where those who hold scarce assets gain when paper wealth shrinks.
