Kiyosaki Warns of Historic Crash, Doubles Down on Crypto and Hard Assets
Robert Kiyosaki, the famed author of the best-selling personal finance book Rich Dad Poor Dad, issued a series of urgent “reminders” for investors this week — warning of what he calls “the biggest crash in world history” and urging people to invest in tangible assets. His book has sold millions of copies and been translated into more than 50 languages worldwide, influencing how investors, entrepreneurs, and everyday savers think about money and risk.
Kiyosaki shared on the social media platform X on Oct. 11:
Reminder: I predicted the biggest crash in world history was coming in my book Rich Dad’s Prophecy. That crash will happen this year.
He cautioned: “Baby boom retirements are going to be wiped out. Many boomers will be homeless or living in their kids’ basements. Sad.”
The renowned author reiterated his long-standing warnings about inflation and paper money, writing: “Reminder: For years I have been saying save gold, silver, bitcoin, and recently ethereum.”
Reiterating his recent statement about silver and ETH, he explained: “Today I believe silver and ethereum are the best because they are stores of value… but more importantly… used in industry… and prices are low.” Encouraging self-education, he advised: “Please study pros and cons and usefulness of silver and ethereum… from haters and lovers of silver and ethereum… and then invest with your own financial wisdom.”
Two days later, on Oct. 13, Kiyosaki expanded on his views. He opined: “Even Warren Buffett has been admitting baby boomers are getting screwed and millions of baby boomers will be homeless when inflation wipes out the purchasing power of their 401k.” Praising President Donald Trump, he added: “President Trump is not only bringing peace to the Middle East, he opened 401k to invest in ‘alternative investments’ which includes real estate debt, real gold and silver and crypto such as bitcoin and ethereum.”
Kiyosaki concluded:
This means I am buying more gold, silver, bitcoin, ethereum, oil, cattle, and real estate.
The acclaimed author has long argued that fiat currencies are losing value, inflation is eroding savings, and traditional retirement accounts leave workers vulnerable. For Kiyosaki, financial intelligence means rejecting “printed assets” and embracing real ones — before the crash he’s been warning about for decades finally arrives.
