Financial educator and Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki has intensified his criticism of the U.S. dollar, labeling it as "fake money" in an October 2025 social media post. He argued that the global monetary system is "broken and corrupt," disproportionately benefiting the wealthy while exacerbating struggles for the poor and middle class amid rising inflation.
Kiyosaki highlighted that continuous fiat currency creation erodes purchasing power, with essential goods becoming more expensive. He urged investors to protect their wealth by shifting to real assets, specifically naming gold, silver, Bitcoin (BTC), and Ethereum (ETH) as reliable stores of value. He described gold as a timeless hedge due to its scarcity, while also championing silver as affordable and undervalued.
In his warnings, Kiyosaki predicted "the biggest crash in history" could occur in 2025, emphasizing that this is a survival issue rather than a profit opportunity. He expressed concern that soaring prices for these assets signal underlying financial distress and inflationary pressures, advising against cash savings which he claimed "turn savers' money into trash."
Market context from mid-October 2025 showed Bitcoin falling to a low of $103,516 on October 13, with four consecutive days of declines, before partially recovering to $107,292. Gold and silver also experienced volatility, with gold hitting a record high of $4,379 earlier that week. These movements occurred alongside a U.S. government shutdown in its third week, which suspended key economic data releases, adding to investor uncertainty.
