Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki predicts a catastrophic stock market crash and the collapse of âThe Everything Bubble,â warning that gold, silver, and bitcoin will nosedive, triggering a global depression. He urges investors to brace for financial turmoil, saying only the prepared will emerge wealthier from the ruins. âTake bitcoin for example⊠it may crash to $5,000 a coin ⊠then boom to $100,000 to $250,000 and higher,â he noted.
âEverything Crashâ Looms: Kiyosaki Foresees Bitcoin and Stock Collapse â Global Chaos Ahead
Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, shared his insights on the U.S. economy, gold, bitcoin, and market trends on social media platform X on Saturday. Rich Dad Poor Dad is a 1997 book co-authored by Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter. It has been on the New York Times Best Seller List for over six years. More than 32 million copies of the book have been sold in over 51 languages across more than 109 countries.
He pointed to goldâs all-time high prices but cautioned: âUnfortunately, higher gold prices generally mean investors are becoming pessimistic. Many investors shift out of stocks and start buying defensive assets. So higher gold prices are not necessarily a good sign.â Kiyosaki expects a significant stock market crash, declaring:
If a major stock market crash occurs ⊠which I am expecting ⊠because the stock market has been high for too many years.
âThis is not good news for people who do not own gold, silver, and bitcoin,â he opined. The acclaimed author then encouraged people to prepare by studying, joining investment clubs, and watching for post-crash bargains. âThen in a few years ⊠when another bull market rises ⊠you will be one of the richer, smarter investors,â he foresees.
In a follow-up post, Kiyosaki warned of âThe Everything Bubble,â driven by money printed during the 2008 financial crisis. He predicted:
The Everything Bubble is going to turn into âThe Everything Crash.â Simply said, everything will crash, including gold, silver, and bitcoin.
He compared the situation to a catastrophe, stating that the bubble will burst like Mt. Vesuvius, with the crash being detrimental for most people. He warned it could trigger a âglobal depressionâ similar to the one narrowly avoided in 2008.
Despite the bleak outlook, Kiyosaki believes those prepared will prosper. âAfter the everything crash ⊠that follows the everything bubble ⊠the prepared will get really rich. I plan on being one of the prepared ⊠I plan on becoming even richer⊠and I want you to become richer too.â
He noted:
Take bitcoin for example ⊠it may crash to $5,000 a coin ⊠then boom to $100,000 to $250,000 and higher.
âObviously, I will be buying all the bitcoin I can, as well as other assets, at bargain basement prices,â Kiyosaki emphasized. âKISS: Keeping It Super Simple ⊠the best time to get rich is coming again.â
He concluded by advising investors to aim for wealth, not to fall victim to the actions of the Federal Reserve and Treasury. He urged them to be patient, join investment clubs, attend seminars, network with proactive individuals, distance themselves from unhelpful friendships, study, discuss, and prepare for the future.
