Robert Kiyosaki Says Buffett’s Gold Shift Signals Crash
Robert Kiyosaki, author of the global bestseller Rich Dad Poor Dad, says Warren Buffett’s sudden embrace of gold and silver is a red flag for investors. His book, translated into more than 50 languages and sold in millions of copies worldwide, has long positioned him as a voice of warning about financial crises.
Kiyosaki shared on social media platform X on Oct. 1: “I want to vomit: getting nauseous, listening to Buffett tout the virtues of gold and silver… after he ridiculed gold and silver for years. That means the stock and bond markets are about to crash. Depression ahead?” The famous author added: “Even though Buffett shit on gold and silver investors like me for years, his sickening endorsement of gold and silver must mean stocks and bonds are about to crash.” He finished with a recommendation that echoed his long-standing investment stance:
Might be time to listen to Buffett and buy some gold, silver, bitcoin, and ethereum.
The renowned author’s anger comes from Warren Buffett’s decades of dismissing gold and silver as unproductive assets that don’t generate income, a stance that clashed with Kiyosaki’s repeated calls to own them as protection against economic chaos. Now, with Buffett shifting toward the metals he once mocked, Kiyosaki believes it signals not strength but weakness—a looming collapse in stocks and bonds, and the possibility of a global depression.
Kiyosaki has long warned that fiat currencies are losing value, the U.S. dollar is at risk, and the economy is approaching a severe crisis. He attributes the looming financial crash to Federal Reserve policies, which he says have made the United States the largest debtor nation in history. He regularly advises investors to protect their assets through gold, silver, and cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, which he refers to as safeguards during economic instability.
