Rich Dad Poor Dad Author Robert Kiyosaki Says Bitcoin Slowdown Won’t Affect Him, Bets On “The Big Print” Boosting Gold, Silver, Crypto

Robert Kiyosaki, the well-known author of Rich Dead Poor Dead, has weighed in on the recent volatility in global markets, including the sharp drop in Bitcoin, and said he is not selling his holdings despite the slowdown. He argued that the current selloff is being driven by a global dash for cash rather than a breakdown in fundamental value.

In a detailed post on X, the Rich Dad Poor Dad author described the ongoing turmoil as part of a broader squeeze, but maintained that he is choosing to hold on to his assets.

Kiyosaki said the world’s deepening debt situation and the potential onset of a massive monetary expansion—what he calls “the big print”—are central to his long-term outlook. While acknowledging the risks, he believes this environment could ultimately make assets like gold, silver, bitcoin and ethereum more valuable.

However, he stressed that his stance reflected his personal financial situation and repeatedly emphasized that his comments did not constitute investment advice.

Sharing his outlook in the post, Kiyosaki wrote, “Bitcoin Crashing: Everything is a bubble bursting….” When asked if he was selling, he replied, “No: I’m waiting.”

Explaining his reasoning, he said, “The reason all markets crash is because the world needs cash. I don’t need cash.” According to them, the main reason is that they are expecting an important financial event.

As he put it, “The real reason I’m not selling is the problem….the world is deeply indebted….and my bet is ‘The Big Print’…is about to begin….which will make gold, silver, bitcoin and ethereum more valuable….as fake money collapses.”

He also admitted that his outlook may not go as expected. Asked whether he and writer Lawrence Lepard could be wrong, he answered simply: “Yes.” Throughout his post, Kiyosaki reiterated that he was not giving financial advice, saying, “I’m not giving investment advice. I’m just sharing with you what I’m doing.”

He added that many people may need immediate cash, which may justify their decision to sell. “If you’re scared and need cash….like most people in the world do….you want to sell your best assets and go into cash.”

Kiyosaki also referenced Miss Piggy from the Muppets to explain his philosophy on money management, “The key to money management is to always manage plenty of money.”

He contrasted this with traditional education systems, which he said do not teach practical financial lessons.

Reflecting on his past struggles, he wrote, “I’ve panicked many times and learned invaluable personal finance lessons that aren’t taught in schools….” Despite these experiences, he said he believes mistakes are a necessary part of learning and building wealth.
