Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has renewed his bullish stance on crypto. In a social media post dated March 30, he said the world is entering what he calls a “New Depression,” driven by expanding sovereign debt, ongoing monetary issuance by central banks, and geopolitical conflict that could keep energy prices elevated. His warning is simple: people holding US dollars in cash are losing purchasing power as inflation bites.
Debt, money creation and conflict form the core of his thesis
Kiyosaki argues that unchecked government borrowing and continued currency expansion will keep inflation pressure high for a long period. He also pointed to armed conflicts in the Middle East and other regions, saying there is no clear end in sight and that oil supply could be squeezed at any time. If energy stays expensive, inflation does not ease easily. In his view, the first question is where money is parked and whether that asset can withstand currency debasement.
He names six assets, with BTC and ETH on the list
His preferred basket includes gold, silver, oil, food, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH). The logic follows his long-held view that scarce assets are better positioned to resist fiat dilution. He says these assets may preserve value, and possibly appreciate, when governments keep printing money and major banks run into stress.
He also attached aggressive price targets to the two largest crypto assets: Bitcoin at $750,000 and Ether at $95,000. The source article noted that those levels imply multi-fold upside from current market prices.
He says he has been buying, not just commenting
Kiyosaki added that he has recently spent millions of dollars increasing exposure to oil wells, gold, silver and Bitcoin. He described these as “real assets” and said they are a more direct inflation hedge than stocks or bank deposits.
He also warned that 2026 could bring a major global stock market crash. He tied that risk to unresolved issues left over from the 2008 financial crisis, especially excessive leverage and systemic debt that, in his view, was never fully cleared.
His record remains mixed
The report also noted that Kiyosaki’s public calls have often swung sharply. He has repeatedly predicted Bitcoin above $1 million, but has also issued conflicting short-term views, including one stretch in which he first said BTC could soon break $100,000 and then warned it might fall to $60,000. He has also warned of a Bitcoin bubble and urged selling, only to later say he bought more during the decline.
Because of that pattern, his comments are often treated more as a signal of macro sentiment and safe-haven positioning than as a direct trading guide.
