In recent days, the cryptocurrency community, especially XRP enthusiasts, has once again been 'stirred up' by rumors that Robert Kiyosaki – the famous investor and author of the global bestseller 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' – publicly supported XRP.

The widely circulated statement is:

'1,000 XRP will make you the richest person in the family.'

At first glance, this is a compelling statement, especially in the context of XRP continuously appearing in discussions about its price potential. However, upon deeper scrutiny, the truth is entirely different.

The Origin of the Rumor

This rumor originated from a post on social media X (Twitter) by a crypto analyst named Levi. In the post, Levi claimed that Kiyosaki had made a bold prediction about the future of XRP, implying that simply owning 1,000 XRP would be enough to bring long-term wealth.

Immediately, this information was widely shared in XRP community groups and spread rapidly across cryptocurrency forums. With Kiyosaki's reputation and influence in finance, this statement created a powerful viral effect.

The Truth Unveiled

The problem is... there is no verifiable evidence that Kiyosaki ever said this.

There is no interview, no tweet, and no official statement from him mentioning the figure '1,000 XRP' or any specific price forecast related to XRP.

Levi – the person who posted the information – later had to publicly apologize. He stated that his social media management team did not verify the source of the information, but only relied on previously circulating claims online. Levi asserted:

'I want to apologize to the XRP community for my latest post about Robert Kiyosaki. There is no verified source indicating that Robert Kiyosaki directly supports XRP.'

Who Is the True Author of This Idea?

Tracing back, the similar statement seems to have originated from Edo Farina – a prominent figure in the XRP community. Farina has long been known for his optimistic predictions about the future of XRP and had previously commented that even owning a small amount, such as 1,000 XRP, could yield significant profits in the future. However, this is just Farina's personal opinion, completely unrelated to Kiyosaki.

Lessons Learned

This incident is a clear example of the risks of sharing unverified financial information on social media. In the world of cryptocurrency, rumors spread faster than price volatility, and sometimes just one misattributed statement can create a strong FOMO wave. If the source is not carefully checked, investors can easily get swept up in unrealistic expectations, leading to poorly grounded decisions.

Conclusion

Robert Kiyosaki never stated that '1,000 XRP will make you the richest person in the family.' This is a misattributed quote, stemming from an unverified post, and is actually an idea from another XRP supporter. With any information related to cryptocurrency price forecasts, investors need to be cautious, research thoroughly, and rely only on credible sources before making decisions.
