Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki and gold advocate Peter Schiff have provided conflicting forecasts about the future of gold, silver, bitcoin, and the U.S. economy if Donald Trump is re-elected. Kiyosaki claims asset prices will rise as Trump supports a weaker dollar, which he believes will boost American exports and create jobs. In contrast, Schiff argues that a weaker dollar will impoverish the country and lead to higher oil prices. Additionally, Schiff’s predictions for gold, silver, and bitcoin prices diverge from Kiyosaki’s views.

Robert Kiyosaki and Peter Schiff Differ on Economic Impacts of Potential Trump Re-Election
Economist and gold advocate Peter Schiff responded to statements by Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki on social media platform X Tuesday regarding the future of gold, silver, oil, the U.S. dollar, and bitcoin if former U.S. President Donald Trump gets re-elected in the November presidential election.
Kiyosaki predicted that gold, silver, and bitcoin prices will rise if Trump becomes president again. He explained that Trump supports a weaker dollar to boost American exports, create jobs, and increase asset prices. He added that Trump plans to expand oil drilling to reduce oil prices. Schiff countered:
A weaker dollar may make some Americans richer, but overall it will make America poorer. It will also result in higher oil prices, even if we do drill more of it.
Specifically, Kiyosaki forecasts that by August 2025, gold will increase from $2,400 to $3,300 an ounce, silver from $29 to $79 an ounce, and bitcoin from $67,400 to $105,000 per coin.
“I think gold and silver could rise even more than your forecast, but bitcoin could just as easily fall instead,” Schiff responded.
Schiff has consistently criticized bitcoin. Earlier this month, he predicted that the bitcoin bear market is far from over. He also predicted that Ethereum will drop to $1,500. In April, he declared that the “bitcoin fad is over.”
On Wednesday, he maintained his critique of bitcoin, stating on X: “The existence of bitcoin ETFs [exchange-traded funds] is more proof that bitcoin itself offers little to no real value. Initially, the value propositions of bitcoin was the elimination of third party custodians. If you’re going to trust third parties, you might as well trust them to hold your gold.”
Kiyosaki, on the other hand, believes in gold, silver, and bitcoin. He recently encouraged investors to buy BTC before its price surges. He also revealed that he is buying bitcoin every month.
