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

Renowned author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki, has spoken out about recent volatility in global markets, including Bitcoin’s sharp decline, and says he is not selling his assets despite the recession. He argued that the current sell-off is driven by a global rush for cash rather than a collapse in fundamental value. In a detailed post on

Kiyosaki said the world’s deepening debt situation and the potential onset of large-scale monetary expansion – what he calls “The Big Print” – are central to his long-term view. While he acknowledges the risks, he believes this environment could ultimately make assets like gold, silver, Bitcoin and Ethereum more valuable.

However, he stressed that his position reflects his personal financial position and repeatedly emphasized that his comments do not constitute investment advice.

Kiyosaki shared his views in the post, writing: “BITCOIN CRASHING: The Everything Bubbles Bursting….” When asked if he is selling, he replied: “NO: I will wait.”

Explaining his reasoning, he said, “The cause of all markets collapsing is that the world needs money. I don’t need money.” According to him, the main reason he is holding is his expectation of a major monetary event.

As he put it: “The real reason I’m not selling is because the problem… The world is deep in debt… and I’m betting that ‘The Big Print’… is about to kick in… which will make gold, silver, Bitcoin and Ethereum more valuable… while fake money crashes.”

He also acknowledged that his vision may not work out as expected. When asked whether he and author Lawrence Lepard could be wrong, he simply replied: “Yes.” Throughout his message, Kiyosaki reiterated that he does not provide financial advice, saying, “I do not provide investment advice. I share with you what I do.”He added that many people may be in dire need of cash, which could justify their decision to sell. “If you’re scared and need cash… as most of the world does… you may want to sell your best assets and move to cash.”

Kiyosaki even referenced Miss Piggy from the Muppets to explain his philosophy on money management, quoting, “The key to money management is to always manage to have a lot of money.”

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

Reflecting on his own past struggles, he wrote, “I have panicked many times and learned invaluable personal finance lessons not taught in schools….” Despite these experiences, he continues to believe that mistakes are an essential part of learning and building wealth.
