Robert Kiyosaki Expects Money Print and Leans Toward Hard Assets Like Gold, Bitcoin and Ethereum

A wave of uncertainty continues to sweep across global markets, yet long-time personal finance author Robert Kiyosaki keeps leaning into his long-term outlook. His posts on X show a tone of patience rather than panic, especially as he believes a major shift in monetary policy may be around the corner.

Good to Know

• Kiyosaki expects governments to rely heavily on money printing to stabilize markets
• He prefers hard assets like gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum over cash
• He encourages investors to focus on cash flow rather than reacting emotionally

Kiyosaki often links today’s volatility to what he calls an “everything bubble,” a period when major asset classes inflate together. His view is blunt: debts around the world have climbed to levels he sees as impossible to fix without large-scale money creation.

He said on X that he is staying patient while prices tumble across various assets:

“Bitcoin crashing, the everything bubbles are bursting. Am I selling? NO, I am waiting.”

Kiyosaki argues that crashes typically happen because investors scramble for liquidity. Without that pressure on his own finances, he says he feels no need to sell anything. He said:

“Question: Why aren’t you selling? Answer: The cause of all markets crashing is the world is in need of cash. I do not need cash…”

Kiyosaki then pointed to a thesis from Lawrence Lepard as a reason for sticking to Bitcoin, gold, silver, and Ethereum. He said:

“The real reason I am not selling is because the problem, the world is deeply in debt, and my bet is ‘The Big Print’ as described in Lawrence Lepard’s book is about to begin… which will make gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum more valuable as fake money crashes.”

He often highlights how cash flow protects investors from emotional decisions. According to his message, assets that generate steady income help people handle downturns without dumping what they own. He said:

“Simply said, if you are fearful and need cash as most of the world does, you may want to sell your best assets and go to cash.”

He then brought humor into the mix by quoting Miss Piggy as a reminder to stay liquid:

“I follow the financial advice of the Muppets Miss Piggy who advises ‘The key to money management is to always manage to have a lot of money.’ In Rich Dad Poor Dad, Rich dad called this ‘Cash Flow’ from assets such as real estate, oil wells, cattle, and private investments.”

Kiyosaki again repeated his concern about traditional equities and bonds, although he acknowledged that different strategies work for different investors, saying:

“I do not trust stocks or bonds but if you do, like Warren Buffett, do what is best for you… Be careful. Learn from your mistakes if you are panicking and short of cash.”

Once he sees a market bottom, he said he intends to buy more Bitcoin:

“I will buy more Bitcoin when the crash is over. There are only 21 million Bitcoins.”

At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades a bit under $95,000 while Ethereum sits near $3,150, according to CoinMarketCap data.
