Robert Kiyosaki criticizes dollar and urges to buy Bitcoin
Kiyosaki declares “giant crash” is here, urges shift to Bitcoin and gold.
Robert Kiyosaki, author of the bestselling personal finance book Rich Dad Poor Dad, has issued a renewed warning about what he sees as a systemic unraveling of the global financial system.
In an April 13 post on social media platform X, Kiyosaki pointed to historic highs in gold prices, surging silver demand, and the rise of bitcoin as signals of an impending economic collapse.

“That giant crash has arrived,” he wrote, urging his audience to “listen” to these asset movements.
Kiyosaki framed current conditions as the realization of warnings he has long voiced in previous books, including Rich Dad’s Prophecy and Fake. He accused major central banks—including the U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of Japan—of eroding individual wealth while facilitating what he described as a “sinister global banking cartel.” Traditional savers and retail investors, he claimed, are being “wiped out” as institutional actors take control.
Bitcoin and precious metals seen as protection from fiat collapse
Kiyosaki has consistently promoted non-sovereign assets such as gold, silver, and bitcoin as hedges against fiat currency devaluation. In his latest comments, he referred to the U.S. dollar as “corrupt and crooked,” stating that a fundamental reset of the global financial system is not just approaching but already underway. “Savers of stocks, bonds, ETFs, and mutual funds… their wealth [is being] stolen,” he said.
He advised individuals to take immediate action by acquiring tangible assets outside of the traditional financial system. “Those who take action and acquire real gold, silver, and bitcoin may come out of this premeditated disaster… the new rich and the new leaders of the world,” he wrote.
Kiyosaki also questioned the long-term value of formal education, especially when financed through debt, and reiterated his belief in bitcoin as “the people’s money.” His remarks echo a broader shift in sentiment among some investors who view decentralized assets as a safeguard against economic volatility and institutional overreach.
Recently we wrote, that Arthur Hayes, the outspoken co-founder of BitMEX, is urging investors to prepare for a massive rally in risk assets—led by Bitcoin—as global markets enter what he believes could be a critical turning point.
