Recently, Robert Kiyosaki has been speaking out again on X. The author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad" remains as pessimistic as ever about inflation—and he believes this time really is different.

He traces the current inflationary pressures back to 1974, when the U.S. dollar shifted to a gold-backed system, pointing out that dependence on oil has driven up energy costs, which in turn pushed up prices for food, fuel, and various other goods. His logic is that geopolitical tensions centered around oil have directly fueled broader price increases.

Interestingly, although official data shows a 2.4% inflation rate in February and core inflation at only 2.5%, Kiyosaki isn’t convinced. He believes these figures mask deeper structural issues—such as the collapse of retirement systems, record global debt levels, and persistent inflationary pressures. His view is that these factors combined could trigger a more severe financial crisis by 2026.

Kiyosaki’s advice is straightforward: store real money—gold, silver, and Bitcoin. He emphasizes that Bitcoin’s fixed supply is a key advantage and an important tool for hedging against inflation. In fact, he has previously stated plans to buy more Bitcoin during price dips, viewing it as a serious hedge asset rather than a speculative one.

From an investment perspective, Kiyosaki has been warning investors to steer clear of assets heavily affected by monetary expansion—fiat currencies and traditional financial instruments. He sees this as an opportunity for those who are prepared, but a disaster for those who are not.

Currently, Bitcoin is trading around 76.33K, and given the recent volatility, this level is definitely worth watching. If you’re interested in inflation and asset allocation, consider checking out the market for BTC and other alternative assets on Gate.
