Kiyosaki Sounds Alarm as Gold and Bitcoin Hit Records: ‘Savers of U.S. Dollars Are Losers’

Gold and Bitcoin both reached new all-time highs on Monday, with gold surpassing $4,000 per ounce for the first time and Bitcoin climbing above $126,000. Amid these record levels, Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki renewed his long-standing criticism of the U.S. dollar, warning that traditional savings may no longer be safe in the current financial climate.

Kiyosaki Urges Shift to Tangible Assets

Kiyosaki, a longtime proponent of real assets , emphasized the importance of protecting wealth amid concerns about the U.S. dollar. In a recent post on X, he asked, “END of US Dollar?” and added that he is increasing his holdings in gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum. The investor reiterated his belief that “savers of U.S. dollars are losers,” emphasizing that individuals should protect themselves by owning tangible assets rather than holding depreciating fiat currency.

The financial educator’s recent comments build on his earlier views about Bitcoin, gold, and silver, as well as his long-standing criticism of the Federal Reserve’s monetary policies, particularly its reliance on printing money to manage economic downturns. He believes such measures weaken the dollar and fuel an economy dependent on excessive debt.

According to him, investors should avoid holding cash and instead focus on tangible assets, which he views as more resilient during periods of financial instability.

In June, he cautioned that the world could face what he described as the biggest financial crash in history , one that could wipe out many investors. However, he suggested that such a downturn would likely push capital toward alternative assets and safe havens as confidence in traditional markets declines.

More recently, Kiyosaki pointed to Warren Buffett’s unexpected acknowledgment of gold and silver as a possible indication that stock and bond markets may soon face pressure.

Market Volatility and the Weakening Dollar

Market analysts have also pointed to growing weakness in fiat currencies. According to The Kobeissi Letter, confidence in traditional money has continued to decline amid persistent inflation. The report added that most asset classes—including real estate, cryptocurrencies, and global bonds—have been hitting new highs, while trust in fiat currencies has dropped to levels not seen in decades .

The Kobeissi Letter also cited data from Goldman Sachs showing that the U.S. dollar has recently been more volatile than the S&P 500, marking the third such occurrence in the past seven years. The U.S. dollar is now on track for its worst annual performance since 1973, down 10% year-to-date, while the S&P 500 has gained 14% and recorded 32 all-time highs.

Kiyosaki’s Bold Predictions

Meanwhile, in May, Kiyosaki predicted that gold could reach $25,000 per ounce , silver $70, and Bitcoin between $500,000 and $1 million. While those levels remain distant, the continued strength in these assets reinforces the expectation set by his forecast. 

Currently, Bitcoin is trading around $122,000, less than 3% below its all-time high , while Ethereum, which has now entered Kiyosaki’s list of preferred assets, is trading above $4,450, with a modest increase of about 1% in the past 24 hours. The performance of these cryptocurrencies shows the ongoing investor interest in alternatives to traditional fiat currencies.
