Prominent financial author Robert Kiyosaki has sparked confusion and concern within the crypto community by falling silent on Bitcoin for over a week, following a public vow to buy more during price dips. This unexpected pause, which began after his November 15th declaration, is compounded by reports that he sold approximately $2.25 million worth of Bitcoin on November 22nd at an average price of $90,000.
Instead of discussing cryptocurrency, Kiyosaki's recent social media activity has focused on amplifying warnings from Warren Buffett about a potential bubble in artificial intelligence (AI) stocks. He suggested the U.S. stock market might be driven by hype rather than fundamentals, urging his over 2.8 million followers to prepare for financial turbulence. This represents a significant shift for an author who has long advocated for Bitcoin as a store of value alongside gold and silver, and who previously defended Bitcoin against Buffett's criticisms.
The sequence of events—a public buying intent, followed by a substantial sale and an abrupt change in social media focus—has led investors to question his conviction. The sale occurred as Bitcoin faced 'extreme fear' in the market, having fallen over 30% from its October all-time high of $126,000 and failing to retest the $100,000 level. Analysts suggest his silence may be a tactical pause or a reflection of a broader risk-off sentiment, rather than a complete abandonment of the asset, as he reportedly still holds Bitcoin in his portfolio.
