Financial author Robert Kiyosaki has issued a dire warning about an impending global financial crash that could wipe out millions of investors. In a post on social media platform X, he predicted a "massive crash" and urged people to protect their wealth by investing in tangible and digital assets, specifically gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum. Kiyosaki argued that these assets offer stronger security than traditional "paper money," which he describes as built on unstable foundations.
He referenced a recent event in October 2025 where U.S. tariffs on China, including a 100% rate, triggered a sharp decline in Bitcoin from $122,000, wiping out nearly $19 billion in leveraged positions within hours. Kiyosaki cited this volatility as evidence of the financial system's vulnerability. Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $110,079 with a 0.2% daily gain but a 7.1% monthly decline, while Ethereum shows a 0.4% daily increase but has lost 12% of its value over the past month.
Critics have noted that Kiyosaki has been predicting similar crashes for over a decade without them materializing, often coinciding with temporary market pullbacks. However, some analysts, like Jonesy, support his concerns, pointing to rate cuts that historically preceded crashes in 2000, 2007, and 2020. Investor Avinash Mishra echoed this, citing the U.S. national debt exceeding $35 trillion as a sign of financial strain and advocating for Bitcoin and silver as protective measures since 2020.
The crypto community remains divided, with commentators like Puck viewing the warnings as fear-driven narratives that could precede rallies. Puck expressed confidence in Bitcoin's resilience, noting its ability to maintain prices above $110,000 despite corrections, and stated that "crashes fuel the next rally." The debate highlights ongoing tensions between traditional and digital asset advocates.
