Renowned investor and author of the bestselling book Rich Dad Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki, has once again warned of an impending global financial crisis, which he believes will be the most severe in history.
He predicts that by 2025, the world will face an economic collapse affecting all sectors — from the labor market to real estate and stock prices. Kiyosaki compares the upcoming events to the Great Depression of the 1930s but believes the consequences will be even more serious.
Kiyosaki’s Three Rules for Protecting Wealth
Kiyosaki’s predictions are based on principles outlined in his 1997 book, which he says remain relevant today. He highlights three key rules that can help maintain financial stability during a crisis.
Rule 1: "The Rich Don’t Work for Money"
Kiyosaki argues that wealthy people focus on building assets and businesses rather than earning a salary. Given the rise in unemployment, this approach is especially important, he believes. Entrepreneurs, in his view, will be in a better position than those who rely on a traditional job.
Rule 2: "Your Home Is Not an Asset"
The author challenges the common belief that real estate is always a reliable investment. He reminds readers that assets should generate income rather than require constant expenses. With falling housing prices and declining mortgage accessibility, many people are realizing that their homes can become more of a burden than a financial safety net.
Rule 3: "Savers Are Losers"
Kiyosaki calls the US dollar "fake money" and warns that traditional savings lose value due to inflation. Instead, he recommends investing in gold, silver, and Bitcoin. He refers to gold and silver as "God’s money" and Bitcoin as "the people’s money." In his opinion, these assets can help protect wealth from depreciation.
An Alternative Perspective: Not Everyone Has to Be an Entrepreneur
In response to Kiyosaki’s advice, a cryptocurrency expert known as Crypto Dad offered a different perspective on achieving financial success. He believes that not everyone is capable of becoming an entrepreneur, and that’s perfectly fine. The hardest job in the world is creating your own job.
"Financial stability can be achieved without starting your own business. Investments, career growth, and smart money management can all serve as alternative paths to success," he said.
Kiyosaki’s Predictions Bitcoin and the Future of Cryptocurrencies
This is not the first time Kiyosaki has warned of potential market crashes. In December 2024, he stated that Bitcoin could temporarily drop to $60,000, but this decline would be a buying opportunity.
According to him, the current price of the cryptocurrency is less important than the amount of Bitcoin one owns. At the same time, he predicts that by the end of 2025, Bitcoin could reach $250,000, making it a promising asset for long-term investments.
Thus, Kiyosaki continues to insist on the need to rethink traditional financial strategies to prepare for upcoming economic shocks.
