Robert Kiyosaki: Fiat Is Dying
Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, is once again sounding the alarm about the collapse of traditional money.
In a recent post on X, he called Bitcoin and Ethereum “real money,” arguing that both assets hold value outside government control – something fiat currencies, he says, can never do.
Kiyosaki cautioned that the surge in Bitcoin, Ethereum, gold, and silver isn’t a sign of prosperity but proof of a failing system. When asset prices rise against the dollar, he said, it’s a reminder that the dollar itself is losing purchasing power – and ordinary people are paying the price.
“The system is designed to keep you poor,” he wrote, accusing central banks of fueling inequality through endless money printing and debt-driven policies. Inflation, he added, isn’t a mistake but an intentional outcome of a structure built to benefit the wealthy.
For years, Kiyosaki has urged his followers to escape this cycle by holding assets that can’t be diluted – whether digital like Bitcoin and Ethereum or tangible like gold and silver. In his view, these serve as modern lifeboats in a sinking financial order.
Citing turmoil across bond markets in the U.S., U.K., and Europe, he claimed that the cracks in the global economy are becoming impossible to ignore. As trust in governments fades, he believes decentralized money offers the only real independence left.
His advice remains unchanged: stop saving in dollars, start saving in something real.
