With markets hitting record highs, investors may feel confident. But author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad”, Robert Kiyosaki has issued a warning, yet again, that traditional savings may no longer be safe. He points to growing risks in traditional financial systems and advises investors to turn to real assets.
Here’s where he advises you should invest instead.
Is the US Dollar Doomed?
In a recent post on X, Kiyosaki has once again taken a dig at the U.S. dollar and hinted at his growing trust in alternative assets like crypto, gold, and silver.
“END of US Dollar? Adding to my gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum stack” he said, urging people to protect their money by investing in real assets and to be “winners”, and not “savers” of USD.
Slamming the Federal Reserve
Kiyosaki has long criticised the Federal Reserve’s habit of printing money to fix economic crises, arguing that it only worsens the problem instead of solving it. He has warned that America’s debt-driven economy is becoming dangerously unstable, built on what he calls “fake dollars.”
Instead of saving cash, Kiyosaki urges people to invest in gold, silver, and Bitcoin, which he views as real, safe and lasting assets during economic turmoil.
Predictions and Market Warnings
Earlier in June he had warned of the biggest financial crash, which could wipe out millions of investors. He said that as markets crash, money will flow into gold, silver, and Bitcoin. Recently he also pointed to Warren Buffett’s sudden praise of gold and silver as a potential warning sign of an upcoming crash in the stock and bond markets and possibly a depression.
Kiyosaki has forecasted that by 2025, gold could reach $5,000, silver $500, and Bitcoin $500K to $1 million. He doubled down in May 2025, predicting gold would reach $25,000.
Bitcoin Rally Stalled, Gold Soars
Bitcoin recently hit a new high above $126,000 before slipping to around $121,000. Ethereum is currently trading near $4,492, down more than 3% in the past 24 hours.
While Bitcoin’s rally has slowed, gold continues to climb. On Monday, the tokenized gold assets crossed a $3 billion market cap as physical gold briefly climbed above $4,000 per ounce for the first time. The surge is likely fueled by strong inflows into gold-linked ETFs. Gold stocks are also experiencing a historic run.
Market Highs Masking A Weak Dollar
The Kobeissi Letter has highlighted that many assets, from safe havens to crypto, are hitting all-time highs, driven not just by rising asset values but also by a weakening U.S. dollar, which is down about 10% year-to-date, its worst performance in over 40 years.
Persistent inflation and expected rate cuts are further eroding confidence in fiat currencies.
USD Showing Strength
Meanwhile, the USD is gaining momentum as the USD Index reaches its strongest level since early August. President Trump recently said that the U.S. is experiencing “virtually no inflation” as markets hit record highs.
However, some experts perceive it differently. Several Fed officials remain cautious on inflation concerns and markets are pricing in more rate cuts this year.
