Robert Kiyosaki on Banking Crisis, War, CBDCs
The author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki, has sounded fresh alarms about potential banking crises, war, and central bank digital currencies ( CBDCs). Rich Dad Poor Dad is a 1997 book co-authored by Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter. It has been on the New York Times Best Seller List for over six years. More than 32 million copies of the book have been sold in over 51 languages across more than 109 countries.
Kiyosaki wrote on social media platform X on Sunday:
Please be careful. Banking crisis worsens. Threat of war grows. Central banks will push for CBDC, Cental Bank Digital Currency, to SPY on us.
“I am buying more bitcoin and silver coins. Silver biggest bargain. I will use silver as money, not U.S. fake dollars,” he added.
After Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank collapsed in March last year, Kiyosaki warned of a worsening global financial crisis, with “deception, betrayal, and collusion” in banks, Wall Street, and governments. “More and more dominos falling,” he stressed at the time, emphasizing: “Crash and crisis just starting. Pensions, IRAs, [and] 401(k)s went woke, going broke. Buy more gold, silver, bitcoin. Take care.” He subsequently predicted that more banks will fail. In November last year, he said a “giant market collapse is here,” cautioning of the possibility of the next Great Depression and a war.
Many people have raised concerns about central bank digital currencies. Presidential candidate and former U.S. President Donald Trump has vowed to stop the Federal Reserve from creating a digital dollar if elected. Representative Tom Emmer (R-MN) is a vocal critic of CBDCs. He has introduced the “CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act,” which has 75 co-sponsors. This bill restricts the Fed from using CBDCs for monetary policy or offering them directly to individuals.
Kiyosaki has long been a proponent of gold, silver, and bitcoin. However, in his recent prediction, he warned that gold could crash below $1,200 while silver and bitcoin would take off. The renowned author has long advocated for silver as a valuable investment, consistently referring to it as a bargain. He considers fiat currencies, like the U.S. dollar, “fake money,” while gold and silver are “God’s money” and bitcoin is “people’s money.” Last week, he predicted that BTC would reach $100,000 by June, advising investors to pay close attention to the upcoming Bitcoin halving.
