Robert Kiyosaki, the outspoken author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has renewed his call for investors to move away from government-issued currencies, warning that inflation and mismanagement are eroding the foundations of the global economy.
In his latest comments on X, Kiyosaki described Bitcoin and Ethereum as “real money” – assets that, unlike fiat, hold value independently of political control. He said that while rising prices in BTC, ETH, gold, and silver might look like good news, they actually highlight a deeper problem: the steady loss of purchasing power for ordinary citizens.
“The System Is Designed to Keep You Poor”
Kiyosaki has long criticized central banks and government spending, arguing that the monetary system enriches the wealthy while punishing the working class. He warned that inflation is not an accident but a feature of a financial structure built on debt.
According to him, every round of money printing pushes savers further behind. “The poor and middle class are being wiped out,” he said, urging his followers to store wealth in decentralized or tangible assets instead of cash.
A Lifeboat in a Sinking Economy
The bestselling author has repeatedly framed Bitcoin and Ethereum as protection against what he calls the “inevitable collapse” of the fiat system. In recent months, he pointed to turmoil in global bond markets – particularly in the U.S., U.K., and Europe – as evidence that the old financial order is breaking down.
Kiyosaki believes digital assets are the modern equivalent of gold, providing individuals with sovereignty over their wealth at a time when trust in governments and institutions is fading. He has described Bitcoin and Ethereum as “lifeboats” for anyone willing to see what’s coming.
A Clear Message to Investors
For Kiyosaki, the lesson is simple: those who continue to rely on fiat will fall victim to policies designed to devalue it. Those who diversify into Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other scarce assets, he argues, will have the only true form of money left when the current system inevitably resets.
His message remains consistent – stop saving in dollars and start saving in something real.
