Signaling a massive bitcoin buying window, Robert Kiyosaki takes a strategic pause, anticipating panic-driven sell-offs before the next explosive leg higher accelerates momentum.
Robert Kiyosaki Waits for Bitcoin ‘Hog Slaughter’ Before Next Big BTC Purchase
Robert Kiyosaki, author of the best-selling book Rich Dad Poor Dad, has reiterated one of his classic lessons about investing behavior and market timing, especially in relation to bitcoin. His book has been a long-standing global bestseller, translated into over 50 languages and read by millions worldwide.
“Pigs get fat. Hogs get slaughtered. I state this lesson because I bought my latest bitcoin at $110K,” Kiyosaki shared on social media platform X on July 11. Referring to investor psychology during bull markets, Kiyosaki noted he’s entering what macro investor Raoul Pal calls “the Banana Zone”—a phase of explosive upward movement often driven by retail frenzy. The renowned author contrasted two types of market participants: disciplined “pigs” and reckless “hogs.” He opined:
Being a fat pig with enough bitcoin… I will wait for the coming hog slaughter. After the hogs stop squealing and selling and blaming bitcoin for their losses, my fellow pigs and I will buy more bitcoin on sale.
Kiyosaki is known for emphasizing long-term thinking and smart entry points. As he’s often said, “Your profit is made when you buy… not when you sell.” This latest post reinforces his philosophy that true gains come from informed, patient investing—not emotional reactions during price surges.
A vocal proponent of bitcoin, the acclaimed author continues to view it as a safeguard against what he describes as a broken financial system, plagued by debt, inflation, and fiat currency devaluation. Kiyosaki has consistently warned about the U.S. economy’s instability and urged followers to hedge with assets like bitcoin, gold, and silver. His message is clear: ignore fear of missing out (FOMO), don’t be a “hog,” and wait for opportunities when others panic.
