According to ChainCatcher, Robert Kiyosaki, author of 'Rich Dad Poor Dad', stated that in 1998 Wall Street rescued LTCM, and in 2008 central banks rescued Wall Street. Each crisis has grown larger, with the problem starting in 1971 when Nixon ended the dollar's gold standard.

He predicts that the next crisis may be triggered by a collapse of $1.6 trillion in student loan debt. Kiyosaki suggests that most people save themselves by holding physical gold, silver, and Bitcoin, rather than buying ETFs.
