Silver is positioned for a dramatic surge as mounting U.S. debt and eroding dollar purchasing power push investors toward hard assets, with Robert Kiyosaki spotlighting precious metals and crypto as long-term winners amid deepening distrust in monetary leadership.
Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki shared on social media platform X this week a series of posts asserting that silver will surge sharply while gold, bitcoin, and ethereum benefit from rising U.S. debt and declining dollar purchasing power.
The famous author emphasized that short-term price movements in gold, silver, and bitcoin do not influence his decisions, stating, “I do not care … Because I know the national debt of the U.S. keeps going up and the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar keeps going down,” tying his outlook directly to long-term fiscal deterioration rather than market volatility.
Expanding on his criticism of monetary leadership, Kiyosaki opined: “Why worry about the price of gold, silver, bitcoin, and ethereum, when the world has incompetent, highly educated PhDs… like my poor dad… controlling the Fed, the Treasury, and U.S. government?” He then summarized his personal strategy in blunt terms, reiterating:
“I just keep buying more gold, silver, bitcoin, and ethereum and get richer.”
The sequence of posts framed price volatility as secondary to what he views as long-term structural weaknesses in fiat currency systems.

Expressing enthusiasm over silver moving above the $100 level, Kiyosaki shared on X on Jan. 21 why he views the metal as uniquely positioned for the future. “Why silver is superior,” he wrote, before pointing to its long monetary history. “ Gold and silver have been money for thousands of years,” he stressed. The acclaimed author contrasted silver with gold by emphasizing its expanding industrial relevance, explaining: “In today’s technology age… silver is elevated into an economic structural metal… much like iron was the structural metal of the Industrial Age.”
Referencing long-term price appreciation, he pointed to silver trading near $92 an ounce in 2026 and characterized the metal as increasingly vital to the world’s economic future, describing it as both a structural industrial input and a store of value that continues to function as money. Kiyosaki reiterated his long-term forecast:
“I am still calling for silver to hit $200 an ounce in 2026.”
He tempered the projection by acknowledging the possibility of being mistaken, while the broader set of posts positions silver alongside bitcoin and ethereum as assets he views as beneficiaries of technological demand, long-standing monetary roles, and growing skepticism toward traditional financial governance.
He argues silver benefits from rising U.S. debt, declining dollar purchasing power, and growing technological demand.
He has repeatedly said he is calling for silver to hit $200 an ounce in 2026.
He says expanding national debt weakens the dollar, favoring gold, silver, bitcoin, and ethereum.
He describes silver as a modern structural metal similar to iron during the Industrial Age.
