Renowned author Robert Kiyosaki, best known for Rich Dad Poor Dad, has ignited discussions with a bold prediction that Bitcoin could hit $200,000 by the end of 2025, effectively doubling its current price. In posts on X (formerly Twitter) to his 2.4 million followers, Kiyosaki shared that his Coinbase account now holds millions in Bitcoin, accumulated over years of conviction during market swings.
Beyond the price forecast, Kiyosaki emphasized that emotional intelligence (EQ), not IQ or education, separates successful investors from perpetual losers. He argued that fear and greed are natural emotions, but wealthy individuals manage them strategically. "Losers are more afraid of losing than getting rich," he wrote, adding that high EQ involves understanding and respecting emotions rather than denying them.
Kiyosaki illustrated this with a personal anecdote: when he showed a friend his crypto portfolio, the friend focused only on recent losses of hundreds of thousands, while Kiyosaki saw millions in overall gains. This mindset difference, he said, explains why the poor and middle class often struggle with wealth creation. "The poor and middle class are poor because they fear losing more than they desire winning," he noted.
Referencing Bitcoin's volatile history—including its 2017 peak near $20,000 and subsequent 80% drop, and the 2021 high of almost $69,000 followed by a fall below $20,000—Kiyosaki highlighted how investors with low EQ panic-sell during dips, while those with high EQ see opportunities. He views Bitcoin as a test of character and a hedge against inflation, government corruption, and fiat currency decline.
In today's economy marked by high debt and geopolitical tensions, Kiyosaki cautioned that emotional control is more valuable than technical ability. "EQ is more powerful than IQ," he asserted, advising followers to stay calm, avoid impulsive trades, and maintain a long-term perspective for wealth-building in crypto.
