Kiyosaki Sounds Alarm: Market Crash and Flight to Real Assets

Robert Kiyosaki, the bestselling author of the Rich Dad Dad series, has reiterated his warning that a major market crash has arrived and urged people to safeguard their wealth by investing in bitcoin, gold, and silver.

Kiyosaki has repeatedly stated that the financial system is rigged against ordinary investors, and he believes this downturn could be one of the most devastating. He pointed out that traditional investments like pensions and government-backed assets are unreliable in times of economic turmoil, making real assets the safest choice.

Kiyosaki cautioned on social media platform X on Thursday that the stock market collapse he predicted in his 2014 book Rich Dad’s Prophecy has now come true. The renowned author wrote:

“Unfortunately that crash has arrived… possibly wiping out the futures of millions of baby boomers world wide.”

He explained that U.S. baby boomers, the first generation to rely on Defined Contribution (DC) pension plans—such as 401(k)s and IRAs—are particularly vulnerable. Unlike Defined Benefit (DB) pension plans, which guarantee retirees a set payout regardless of market conditions, DC plans only provide what the individual has contributed, and those funds can be wiped out in a downturn.

Kiyosaki argued that this structural weakness has left millions financially exposed.

“How does an individual beat this corrupt and criminal monetary Ponzi scheme… Start by investing and taking possession of real #gold, #silver, and #bitcoin,” Kiyosaki advised.

He also warned against exchange-traded funds (ETFs), stating: “Do what is best for you… Yet I would never buy gold, silver, or bitcoin ETFs.” He clarified: “In my opinion, ETFs are as fake as the U.S. dollar and U.S. bonds. But that is just my opinion. I prefer real.”

Kiyosaki has recently been vocal about increasing his bitcoin investments, particularly after President Donald Trump issued an executive order creating a strategic bitcoin reserve.

Kiyosaki predicts other world leaders will adopt similar policies and expects the Trump administration to buy BTC to stabilize the U.S. economy. He argues that the U.S. is bankrupt, the dollar is losing value, and bitcoin offers a more secure alternative.
