Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, said on X that if he had to choose only one asset, he would buy bitcoin rather than gold. He said he is usually in favor of holding both, with silver added for diversification, but his answer changes when the choice is limited to a single asset.
Kiyosaki points to bitcoin’s capped supply
His argument centered on supply. Kiyosaki said gold is “in theory, infinite” because rising prices can encourage more mining output, and he noted that he is a miner himself. Bitcoin, in contrast, was designed with a hard cap of 21 million. He said that limit is now close, and once all 21 million coins are mined, no additional bitcoin can be created. In his view, that fixed structure gives bitcoin an advantage over gold, whose supply can still expand when market incentives shift.
He has made the same case before, and his latest comments repeat that line clearly: gold production can respond to price, while bitcoin issuance cannot move beyond the protocol’s upper limit. Kiyosaki added that he was glad he bought bitcoin early, tying his preference directly to scarcity rather than to short-term market action.
Silver remains part of his outlook
Kiyosaki also renewed his bullish call on silver. In a separate post, he said he had purchased another 600 U.S. Silver Eagles with spot silver at $82 per ounce. He added that he still believes silver could reach $200 an ounce or more in 2026.
At the same time, he repeated his criticism of fiat money. He wrote that the U.S. dollar is in trouble and argued that people saving in fiat currency are the biggest losers. In another remark, he urged followers not to work hard only to save what he called “fake fiat government money,” and instead to save gold, silver, real estate, bitcoin, and ethereum.
Scarce assets stay at the center of his thesis
Across these statements, Kiyosaki again framed scarce assets and hard assets as a response to inflation, monetary expansion, and declining purchasing power. Gold, silver, real estate, bitcoin, and ethereum all remain in his broader allocation view. The clearest takeaway from this round of comments is narrower: if he is forced to pick just one, bitcoin comes before gold.
