Rich Dad’s Robert Kiyosaki Doubles Down on $BTC Bitcoin, Slams BTC ETFs

Robert Kiyosaki, the guy behind Rich Dad Poor Dad, is making waves again, and this time it’s all about Bitcoin. In a fiery statement on May 19, 2025, he urged investors to ditch Bitcoin ETFs and go straight for the real deal—actual Bitcoin. With BTC hovering near $104,500, Kiyosaki’s betting big on crypto’s raw potential, warning that ETFs are just “Wall Street’s watered-down version” of the real thing. It’s classic Kiyosaki: bold, contrarian, and stirring up debate.

Why’s he so anti-ETF? Kiyosaki calls them “bankster traps” that let financial giants skim fees while diluting Bitcoin’s decentralized vibe. “ETFs are for suxkers,” he tweeted, pushing investors to buy and hold Bitcoin in secure wallets. He sees Bitcoin, gold, and silver as hedges against a looming economic storm, fueled by corporate crypto buys and state laws like New Hampshire’s 5% crypto allowance. U.Today reports he’s predicting a Bitcoin surge as stocks and bonds wobble.

But it’s not all smooth sailing. Bitcoin’s wild swings—tied to equities—make it a risky bet compared to gold’s steady climb. Kiyosaki’s critics, including JPMorgan’s Jamie Dimon, argue ETFs offer safer exposure. Still, with companies like Strategy Inc. eyeing $84 billion in Bitcoin by 2027, Kiyosaki’s call is gaining traction. Check bitcoin.com for more. Love him or hate him, he’s got everyone talking.
