Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has revealed he is waiting to buy Bitcoin and Ethereum, but only after their downtrends reverse. His approach is driven by a macro-first framework, not by current prices.
Kiyosaki explained on Twitter that he no longer lets price alone dictate his decisions. Instead, he focuses on the “context” or environment an asset is in. He believes global leaders are “incompetent only making things worse,” worsening fiscal and monetary conditions, which could push capital toward scarce assets. This conviction leads him to group Bitcoin and Ethereum with gold and silver as a single hedge against systemic failure.
Despite this macro bullishness, Kiyosaki is not buying yet. He is “watching prices of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum on technical charts and will buy when prices reverse their decline.” This wait-and-see discipline reflects a risk-management approach, as he warns that even favored assets can hurt investors if bought on hype.
The strategy has drawn criticism. Market analysts argue that crypto has historically traded as a risk-on asset, not a safe haven like gold, and that recent Bitcoin and Ethereum sell-offs during macro anxiety undermine the hedge thesis. Kiyosaki himself admits past prediction misses and notes he is not a financial advisor.
