Robert Kiyosaki on Bitcoin and Wealth

Robert Kiyosaki, investor, Bitcoin supporter, and author of the popular personal finance book Rich Dad Poor Dad, has addressed his millions of social media followers about Bitcoin.

Kiyosaki suggests that Bitcoin could be a long-awaited solution to poverty, an issue that has plagued humanity throughout history. In a recent tweet, he discussed what influences wealth and poverty.

Kiyosaki’s Views on Wealth

Kiyosaki began his latest X post with a provocative question: “ARE YOU GETTING RICHER OR POORER?” He noted the concerning trend that, regardless of the direction of the US economy, the rich are getting richer while the poor and middle class are becoming poorer.

> ARE YOU GETTING RICHER OR POORER?
> Tragically, the rich are getting richer but the poor and middle class grow poorer?
> WHY? There are many reasons.
> Many reasons I listed in my previous TWEETS.
> A major reason is FAKE $. Fake $ makes the rich richer….and the poor and…

He attributes this trend to various factors, including political ones that he has previously mentioned. A significant contributor is the education system, which often fails to teach children how to invest effectively and make their money work for them.

Urging People to Save Bitcoin

Kiyosaki emphasizes that a primary cause of growing wealth disparity is the presence of “fake US dollars”—currency that isn’t backed by tangible assets and is easily printed at government discretion. He argues that these fake dollars contribute to the rich getting richer and exacerbate the financial struggles of the poor and middle class. However, he notes that an increased circulation of these dollars leads to rising asset values, including gold and higher living costs, further burdening the middle class.

> Answer: Owning gold and Bitcoin is smarter and safer than saving dollars.

For these reasons, Kiyosaki advocates for individuals to start saving in Bitcoin, gold, and silver, as he believes they represent “real money.” He asserts that these assets could potentially increase in value, creating wealth in the future.

Currently, Kiyosaki perceives the US economy as experiencing a market crash, with many major companies, including those in the oil and automobile industries, facing significant challenges.
