Robert Kiyosaki urges shift to Bitcoin, gold, silver amid turmoil
Veteran investor and Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki has issued a stark warning about an impending global financial crisis.
In his latest message, he highlighted the steep declines in European government bonds, which have fallen 24%, alongside a 13% drop in U.S., reports CoinGape.
Treasury bonds and a 32% decline in British bonds. Kiyosaki argued that this signals deep structural risks in the global economy, with France on the brink of potential bankruptcy and Germany facing unrest similar to historic revolts. He also noted that Japan and China are reducing their exposure to U.S. debt while accumulating gold and silver. According to him, investors must turn to hard assets like gold, silver, and Bitcoin to shield themselves from the turmoil. His long-standing critique of the 60/40 bond-stock portfolio model reflects his belief that traditional strategies are no longer sufficient in today’s environment.
Gold at record highs while Bitcoin lags
Gold futures have surged to a record $3,500, while silver reached a 14-year high, fueled by uncertainty surrounding potential Federal Reserve rate cuts in September. In contrast, Bitcoin has faced significant selling pressure, dipping below $108,000 and wiping out August’s gains. This divergence has reignited debates over Bitcoin’s role as “digital gold.”
Economist Peter Schiff criticized BTC’s underperformance, noting it remains more than 13% below its all-time highs despite institutional adoption and political support. He argued that gold has fulfilled its hedge role while Bitcoin has failed to live up to its promise. The narrative places Bitcoin under scrutiny, especially as investors reassess its resilience amid broader market stress.
Bitcoin’s hedge status faces new test
While skeptics highlight Bitcoin’s struggles, some analysts believe it remains undervalued compared to gold. JPMorgan recently suggested BTC could catch up, especially as institutional demand and treasury strategies expand. However, onchain data indicates OG whales are selling Bitcoin, with some rotating into Ethereum, reflecting shifting investor preferences. Kiyosaki, in contrast, maintains his bullish stance, grouping Bitcoin alongside gold and silver as safe havens against systemic collapse.
His comments underline the widening divide between traditional finance critics and those who remain skeptical of crypto’s hedge value. Ultimately, the coming months will test whether Bitcoin can reassert its narrative as a reliable crisis asset or continue to lag behind traditional safe havens.
