Robert Kiyosaki Predicts Economic Pain But Sees Wealth for the Brave

Robert Kiyosaki believes the U.S. is heading straight into an economic disaster—and he thinks Bitcoin could be a key way to protect yourself.

Good to know

• Kiyosaki expects Bitcoin to hit $1 million by 2035.
• He predicts gold will rise to $30,000 and silver to $3,000.
• He believes a deep economic depression is already underway.

The Rich Dad Poor Dad author recently posted on X that the country may be entering what he calls a “greater depression,” one that could push millions into poverty. But in the same post, he explained that people who take action now still have a shot at turning things around.

“If a poor person bought a few ounces of gold or silver, or 1/2 of a Bitcoin,” Kiyosaki said, “I predict they may become the new rich once this Depression is over.”

He isn’t holding back on predictions either. “I strongly believe, by 2035, that one Bitcoin will be over $1 million. Gold will be $30,000 and silver $3,000 a coin,” he said. He called it “the easiest money you ever made” and warned that those who hesitate could lose the most.

“Those who wait in fear may be the biggest losers,” he wrote. In his view, the financial crash he predicted is already happening. “The giant crash I predicted, the crash that is occurring now, may be the opportunity of your lifetime to achieve great wealth and more importantly, financial freedom.”

His final message was clear: “Please don’t waste this giant crash.”

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $87,158, good for gains of 2.3% in the last 24 hours.
