Prominent investor and author Robert Kiyosaki has declared a strategic buying opportunity for Bitcoin, gold, and silver, framing the recent sharp market correction as a generational "sale." In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on February 1, 2026, the "Rich Dad Poor Dad" author contrasted the behavior of different economic classes, stating that while the poor sell assets during a market crash, the rich rush in to buy.
Kiyosaki explicitly stated he has "cash in hand" and is waiting to deploy it into all three assets once prices stabilize. He compared the situation to a retail discount, writing, "When Walmart has a SALE poor people rush in and buy, buy, buy. Yet when the Financial Asset Market has a sale….a.k.a…..CRASH…the poor sell and run….while the rich rush in….and buy, buy, buy."
The context for his statement is a severe sell-off in commodities, with silver plummeting more than 40% in just two days—one of its steepest short-term declines in recent years. Market analyst Michaël van de Poppe noted that Bitcoin absorbed the initial shock over the preceding weekend but later stagnated as commodities bore the brunt of the pain. He highlighted that crypto historically follows commodities lower during corrections and only outperforms after commodities find a bottom.
Meanwhile, on-chain data from CryptoQuant presents a more cautious outlook. An analyst pointed out that Bitcoin's 'Supply in Loss' metric has risen to around 44%, a level historically associated with the start of bear markets rather than healthy corrections. The data shows Supply in Profit falling even as Bitcoin trades above its realized price, a combination that in past cycles signaled an early bear phase.
Adding to the bearish technical perspective, analyst Ran Neuner asserted that Bitcoin has been in a bear market since October 10, 2025. Using the typical four-year cycle as a base case, he suggested the bottom could form around October 2026, with a potential drawdown to the 200-week moving average near $57,000, or a less severe pullback to the prior cycle high of approximately $69,000.
Kiyosaki's stance is rooted in his long-term advocacy for tangible and decentralized assets as hedges against traditional financial system risks. His strategy aligns with contrarian investing principles, encouraging investors to accumulate assets when fear is high and prices are depressed, a discipline he argues separates strategic investing from reactive trading.
