Robert Kiyosaki is doubling down on his conviction that bitcoin, ethereum, gold, and silver are the only true shields against a collapsing fiat system — calling out what he describes as “manufactured fear” dominating online financial discussions.
Kiyosaki Calls Out Fear-Based Narratives
The Rich Dad Poor Dad author — whose global bestseller has reshaped how millions think about wealth and financial education — blasted the growing trend of “fear baiting” in financial media. He accused influencers and online commentators of exploiting public anxiety for clicks and subscriptions.
“Many YouTubers — the modern-day radio DJs — lure you in with fear,” Kiyosaki wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on October 26.
“They say, ‘Bitcoin will crash,’ or ‘Gold and silver will crash.’ Then they add, ‘Subscribe to my website.’ It’s a scam. It’s fake.”
Kiyosaki rejected panic-driven narratives outright, reaffirming his strategy of accumulating real assets — especially during downturns.
“If bitcoin or ethereum crash,” he said, “I’ll buy more at lower prices.”
He argued that the real crisis lies not in crypto or metals, but in “fake money” and incompetent leadership fueling unsustainable national debt.
“The real problem is fake money and inept leaders — and a national debt now in the trillions or even quadrillions,” Kiyosaki added. “Fact: America is the most indebted nation in world history. Stay with real assets. Forget the fake stuff.”
Reiterating His Longstanding Warnings
Kiyosaki’s fiery post reflects his long-held concerns about the fragility of fiat currencies and America’s ballooning debt burden. For years, he has warned that the U.S. dollar is losing purchasing power due to excessive government spending and poor fiscal management.
True to his “Rich Dad” philosophy, Kiyosaki continues to champion hard assets like gold, silver, and bitcoin, which he calls “real money” — protection against what he sees as an inevitable economic reckoning driven by “fake” financial systems and political incompetence.
Critics Say Kiyosaki Plays the Same Game
Not everyone agrees with his framing. Some critics argue that Kiyosaki’s frequent warnings about market crashes, currency collapses, and global recessions edge close to the same “doom and gloom” messaging he condemns.
Skeptics suggest that his repetitive calls for financial preparedness could sound like the very “fear baiting” he denounces.
But Kiyosaki insists his mission isn’t to sow panic — it’s to wake people up. He says his aim is to encourage individuals to take control of their financial futures through education, self-reliance, and investment in tangible assets.
“Education, not fear, is the key to freedom,” he has often said — a mantra that continues to resonate as uncertainty grips both traditional and digital markets.
