Robert Kiyosaki, the author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad," is warning investors about what he believes is the beginning of the "biggest crash in history". Kiyosaki claims this downturn will affect the United States, Europe, and Asia. He is advising investors to move their assets into what he considers "safe havens," specifically citing gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum.
Kiyosaki voiced his concerns on X (formerly Twitter), stating that the crash he predicted in his 2013 book, "Rich Dad's Prophecy," is now unfolding. He argues that this isn't a typical recession but a deeper, more structural collapse driven by rapid technological disruption, particularly artificial intelligence (AI). Kiyosaki suggests that AI will lead to significant job losses, which will then cause a crash in both office and residential real estate markets.
The financial commentator has been warning about an impending market downturn for months, urging people to move away from "fake paper money" and invest in "real assets". In line with this strategy, Kiyosaki has recommended specific investments. While suggesting investment in Bitcoin, gold, silver and Ethereum, he has "doubled down" on silver as the safest option. He predicts silver will soon reach $70 and potentially $200 by 2026. He also set a price target of $27,000 for gold and $250,000 for Bitcoin by 2026.
Kiyosaki views this market crash as a major opportunity for prepared investors. While many may suffer financial losses, Kiyosaki believes those who strategically position themselves could benefit from what he anticipates will be the greatest wealth transfer in modern history. He has stated that he will share further strategies to get richer as markets crash in future posts.
It is important to note that Kiyosaki's predictions have not always been accurate. For example, he predicted a stock market crash in February 2025, which did not materialize. He also predicted Bitcoin reaching $120,000 in 2024, a target it failed to meet. Despite some inaccurate predictions, Kiyosaki maintains his stance on the importance of investing in precious metals and cryptocurrencies during times of economic uncertainty.
