Robert Kiyosaki: Want to Be Rich? Follow Two Laws of Money and Hold Bitcoin

Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has once again reaffirmed his trust in Bitcoin. He argues that Bitcoin is one of the few assets that obey two key “laws of money”: Gresham’s Law and Metcalfe’s Law. Most people, he says, stay poor because they violate or ignore these principles.

“I don’t save USD. I save Bitcoin.”

In posts made on X (formerly Twitter) on May 24–25, Kiyosaki wrote:

“I do not save U.S. dollars because the U.S. dollar violates Gresham’s Law.”

“I invest in Bitcoin because it is a network. Most cryptos are not.”

He calls fiat currencies like the dollar “fake money,” being constantly devalued by inflation and reckless monetary policy. Following Gresham’s Law, he argues that “bad money drives out good,” prompting him to store wealth in gold, silver, and Bitcoin instead.

Bitcoin’s value lies in its network

Kiyosaki also cites Metcalfe’s Law: the value of a network increases with its number of users. He compares Bitcoin to global networks like McDonald’s and FedEx, which derive their value from structure and scale. In contrast, most altcoins lack real user adoption and utility, making them, in his words, “shitcoins.”

His advice: Follow the laws

Quoting Michael Saylor, Kiyosaki reminds investors:

“Only invest in things a rich person will buy from you.”

His conclusion is simple:

“To become rich, follow Gresham’s Law and Metcalfe’s Law. They are the foundation of lasting wealth.”
