(OPINION) Robert Kiyosaki, the renowned author of the bestselling personal finance book Rich Dad Poor Dad, has once again made headlines with his bold financial predictions.
In recent days, Kiyosaki has warned of what he calls the “biggest crash in history,” pointing to a bursting “everything bubble” that he believes will dwarf even the infamous 1929 stock market collapse.
Amid this dire forecast, the financial guru is not retreating from the markets but instead seizing the moment to buy Bitcoin and other assets he considers safe havens.
Here’s a look at the latest developments surrounding Kiyosaki’s predictions and his investment strategy, as reported by multiple news outlets.
On March 11, 2025, Kiyosaki took to X, declaring, “THE EVERYTHING BUBBLE is bursting. I am afraid this crash may be the biggest in history,” according to a Yahoo Finance article published on March 13.
He suggested that this economic downturn could outstrip the Great Depression in scale, a claim rooted in his long-standing skepticism of traditional financial systems.
The Daily Hodl echoed this sentiment on March 12, noting that Kiyosaki sees the current market selloff as evidence of this impending collapse, with global economic powerhouses like the U.S., Germany, and Japan faltering under “incompetent leaders.”
Kiyosaki’s warnings are not new. He has been predicting a massive market crash for years, often referencing his 2013 book Rich Dad’s Prophecy.
In a March 11 U.Today report, he reiterated that the current downturn aligns with those earlier forecasts, describing it as a “lifetime opportunity” for those prepared to act.
Despite the ominous tone, Kiyosaki remains optimistic about certain investments, urging his followers to stay calm and capitalize on the chaos.
While Kiyosaki predicts widespread financial ruin, he sees a silver lining in Bitcoin, gold, silver, and real estate.
The Yahoo Finance piece highlighted his intention to “continue to accumulate” these assets, viewing them as hedges against the market crash he foresees.
On March 12, The Daily Hodl reported that Kiyosaki is “doubling down on Bitcoin (BTC) and precious metals,” emphasizing their value as the financial system unravels.
He wrote on X, “I will continue to acquire real estate, gold, silver and Bitcoin – on sale,” framing the crash as a buying opportunity.
Today’s March 11 coverage further detailed Kiyosaki’s reaction to a recent Bitcoin price drop, dubbed a “giant BTC crash.” Rather than panicking, he expressed enthusiasm, stating, “I will continue to acquire Bitcoin on sale.”
This aligns with his broader philosophy of buying assets at discounted prices during market downturns—a strategy he claims made him a fortune during the 2009 financial crisis when commercial real estate prices plummeted.
Kiyosaki’s investment stance isn’t without its nuances. A March 9th U.Today article revealed his disdain for Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which he labels “fake.”
He prefers direct ownership of physical assets—whether gold, silver, or Bitcoin—over what he sees as Wall Street’s paper promises. This skepticism extends to the broader U.S. financial system, which he has called a “scam” bigger than Bitcoin itself, per a March 5 Daily Hodl report.
Interestingly, Kiyosaki ties his Bitcoin optimism to political developments. He predicts that during Donald Trump’s presidency, the U.S. will begin purchasing Bitcoin to address “financial insanity,” potentially driving its value skyward.
“Those who bought Bitcoin in the last crash will be the winners,” he told The Daily Hodl on March 5, suggesting that sellers might regret their decisions if his forecast proves correct.
Kiyosaki’s bold claims have long polarized audiences. Critics argue his predictions are alarmist and lack specificity, while supporters praise his contrarian approach and focus on alternative assets.
His recent statements come amid a volatile period for Bitcoin, which saw significant price swings in early 2025, as noted in various reports.
Whether his “biggest crash in history” materializes remains to be seen, but his unwavering faith in Bitcoin continues to resonate with a growing crypto audience.
