Rich Dad Poor Dad Author Robert Kiyosaki Doubles Down on Bitcoin, Predicts ‘The Big Print’
Despite recent market turmoil and a significant decline in Bitcoin’s value, author Robert Kiyosaki, renowned for his personal finance book Rich Dad Poor Dad, says he has no plans to sell his cryptocurrency holdings. Kiyosaki attributes the current market volatility not to a fundamental flaw in asset value, but to a widespread need for cash across global markets.
Kiyosaki articulated his position in a detailed post on X (formerly Twitter) on November 15, 2025, describing the current economic climate as a period of significant financial squeeze. He maintains a long-term outlook centered on the world’s escalating debt and the anticipated implementation of large-scale monetary expansion, which he terms “The Big Print.”
According to Kiyosaki, this impending monetary event will ultimately increase the value of assets like gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum as traditional currencies falter. “The real reason I am not selling is because the problem… The world is deeply in debt… and my bet is ‘The Big Print’… is about to begin… which will make gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum more valuable… as fake money crashes,” he stated.
He acknowledged the inherent risks in his strategy, admitting, “Yes,” when questioned whether his predictions, alongside those of author Lawrence Lepard, could prove incorrect. However, he emphasized that his stance is based on his personal financial situation and is not intended as investment advice.
Kiyosaki further explained his reasoning, stating, “The cause of all markets crashing is the world is in need of cash. I do not need cash.” He contrasted his position with those who may be compelled to sell assets due to financial insecurity, noting, “If you are fearful and need cash… as most of the world does… You may want to sell your best assets and go to cash.”
To illustrate his approach to money management, Kiyosaki even quoted Miss Piggy from the Muppets: “The key to money management is to always manage to have a lot of money.” He contrasted this philosophy with the shortcomings of traditional education, which he believes fails to adequately prepare individuals for financial realities. Reflecting on his own experiences, he added, “I’ve panicked many times and learned priceless personal financial lessons not taught in schools….”
Kiyosaki’s comments come amid a broader downturn in precious metals, with gold recently experiencing a significant drop. [Placeholder for chart showing gold and silver price declines] A separate report indicated gold plunged Rs 5,000/10 gram and silver tanks Rs 8,700/kg, citing three key reasons for the sharp decline in the yellow metal.
Ultimately, Kiyosaki reiterated that he is simply sharing his own investment strategy, not offering financial guidance. His perspective underscores a belief in the potential of alternative assets to thrive in an environment of economic uncertainty and impending monetary policy shifts.
