Kiyosaki Sees Post Crash Bitcoin Upside While Lee Eyes More Gains

A split is opening in the market outlook, and bitcoin is sitting in an unusual spot. Robert Kiyosaki is warning that a giant asset bubble could break soon, while Tom Lee from Fundstrat is still positive on bitcoin even as he turns more cautious on U.S. stocks later in the year. Put side by side, the two views build a clearer story for crypto: one case is based on improving liquidity now, and the other is based on how scarce assets could reprice after a wider financial shock.

Good to Know

• Robert Kiyosaki says a major global crash could send money into gold, silver, bitcoin, and ethereum
• Tom Lee says U.S. stocks may keep climbing near term, even if a bear market arrives later in the year
• Lee also said on March 16 that bitcoin was testing the $70,000 area and could still rally as liquidity improves and institutions add exposure

Kiyosaki Warns of a Post Crash Repricing

Kiyosaki used X on March 16 to repeat a warning he has made for years: too much debt, weak money, and overstretched assets could end badly. He did not name the trigger, but he said the break is close.

“Biggest bubble bust. I do not know what pin, what event will pop the biggest bubbles in history. Whatever the event, the pin is near. It’s not IF. It’s WHEN.”

He then laid out aggressive one-year targets for the period after a global financial crisis. Gold, in his view, could reach $35,000 an ounce. Silver could hit $200. Bitcoin could rise to $750,000, and ethereum could reach $95,000.

“I predict bitcoin will hit $750,000 a coin a year after the crash. And I predict ethereum to be $95,000 a year after crash.”

Kiyosaki has pushed that kind of thesis for a long time. His basic case stays the same: if trust in traditional finance weakens, money may rotate toward scarce assets such as gold, silver, bitcoin, and ethereum.

Tom Lee Sees a Bear Market for Stocks, Crypto However to Shine

Tom Lee is telling a different timing story. In the CNBC interview you referenced, he said U.S. stocks may still climb through the near term before a bear market appears later in the year. He argued that software, the Mag 7, and crypto have already cleared out a lot of speculation, which could leave room for another lift first.

“Our take is that we do expect that decline to happen when markets don’t respond to good news. So I think we’re in a period where we had a bear market already in software, the Mag 7, and in crypto.

I think that’s already taken out a lot of speculation. So to me, I think our bet would be that markets are actually going to lift through the end of the month, that we’re going to actually be positive for March, and maybe hit 7,300. Later in the year is when we think a bear market might show itself.”

Lee also argued that higher oil prices can still help U.S. equities because the United States exports oil and can attract capital when global growth looks weaker.

That stock view lines up with the crypto case Lee gave in the March 16 Elite Wealth Hub interview covered by iGaming.org. In that discussion, Lee said bitcoin was trading near $67,900 and pressing against the $70,000 level, while institutional ownership remained relatively low. He also pointed to liquidity, easier financial conditions, and stronger adoption as reasons bitcoin could still run higher, with upside into the high $100,000s and possibly toward $200,000 in a stronger cycle.

So the combined read is pretty clear. Kiyosaki is focused on what happens after a deep break in the financial system. Lee is focused on what could happen before that break, with stocks and bitcoin still having room to climb if money flows improve and investors stay underexposed. For bitcoin, that means one thing: near-term rally potential and longer-term crisis demand can exist in the same story.
