Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, posted on X this morning that he bought 1 Bitcoin at $67,000. His rationale: the Federal Reserve will soon print trillions of dollars, and Bitcoin's capped supply of 21 million is nearly exhausted.
Kiyosaki has long argued fiat currency will collapse. He warns U.S. debt will trigger massive money printing, devaluing the dollar. On Bitcoin, he says its fixed supply makes it superior to gold once the last coin is mined. While 95% of the 21 million cap has already been mined (about 19.98 million), the final Bitcoin won't be extracted until roughly 2140 — a century away.
The $250K Price Target: Prediction or Waiting Game?
Late last year Kiyosaki forecast Bitcoin hitting $250,000 by 2026, along with gold at $27,000 and silver at $100. That implies nearly 3.7x from his $67,000 buy. His thesis rests on an imminent “biggest stock market crash in history,” followed by Fed printing, fiat devaluation, and a surge in hard assets. Gold and silver have indeed rallied in recent months, but Bitcoin remains weak. The timing problem is persistent: Kiyosaki has been predicting “the crash” since 2013 — 13 years of waiting, during which U.S. stocks saw their longest bull run and Bitcoin itself swung from hundreds to over $100,000 and back.
Celebrity Hype Loses Its Edge
Crypto markets have grown skeptical of celebrity endorsements. From Musk's Dogecoin tweets to star-studded NFT launches, investors now demand more than slogans. Kiyosaki has never disclosed his Bitcoin address — on-chain data is trustworthy, but only when the address is public.
