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

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