Financial expert Robert Kiyosaki anticipates a significant stock market collapse and plans to amplify his investments in Bitcoin and gold.
Renowned financial author and entrepreneur, Robert Kiyosaki, has been making headlines with his economic predictions and advice. In 2013, Kiyosaki predicted the biggest stock market crash in history in his book, "Rich Dad, Poor Dad." However, this prediction did not materialize as he initially forecasted.
While there have been significant market corrections and volatility since 2013, none have matched the scale of the 2008 financial crisis or represented the "biggest crash" historically attributed by many analysts. Kiyosaki's current outlook for 2025 and beyond remains bearish on traditional markets and fiat currencies, warning of severe crashes across stocks, real estate, and commodities driven by inflation and economic instability. He has predicted a looming "Great Depression 2.0" fueled by U.S. debt and inflation effects.
Despite his bearish stance, Kiyosaki views Bitcoin and precious metals like gold and silver as strategic assets. He predicts Bitcoin could reach prices between $130,000 and $200,000 during the 2025 bull market peak cycle, with some commentary putting this even higher, between $175,000 and $350,000. He advises caution to avoid overinvesting but considers dips as buying opportunities.
Kiyosaki's recent statements include a warning that the world is on the brink of war and that the stock market crash is happening now. This statement was followed by a decline in Bitcoin and other digital assets, with the leading cryptocurrency dropping from $100,000 to $96,000.
In November 2024, Kiyosaki agreed with MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor's forecast of Bitcoin eventually reaching $13 million. He also plans to buy more real assets with fake U.S. dollars, a move aimed at hedging against fiat currency devaluation and market crashes projected around 2025 and beyond.
However, not all reactions to Kiyosaki's predictions have been positive. Some users have criticized him for posting similar "prophecies" since 2016, none of which have fully materialized. One user expressed disappointment that Kiyosaki's predictions have not been informative, despite his books. Another user shared that they panicked the first time they saw Kiyosaki's prediction, but their reaction changed to disappointment on the tenth occasion.
Kiyosaki's prediction for the crash was based on the actions of leaders in 2008, specifically Fed Chair Ben Bernanke, who paid billions in bonuses to bankers while millions lost homes, jobs, and savings. He urges people to stay calm and smart while millions panic, advising them to watch for expensive assets like real estate, gold, silver, and Bitcoin going on sale.
Over the past 24 hours, the Nasdaq 100 fell by 1.8%, while the S&P 500 slid 1.1%. Kiyosaki expects markets for cars, housing, restaurants, retail, and wine to collapse in 2025. As the economic landscape continues to evolve, Kiyosaki's predictions and advice will undoubtedly remain a topic of interest and discussion.
- In light of his bearish outlook on traditional markets and fiat currencies, Robert Kiyosaki advises investing in Bitcoin and precious metals like gold and silver as strategic assets, predicting prices between $130,000 and $200,000 for Bitcoin during the 2025 bull market peak cycle.
- Despite cautioning against overinvesting, Kiyosaki sees dips in the price of Bitcoin as potential buying opportunities, suggesting they be viewed strategically in the context of hedging against fiat currency devaluation and projected market crashes around 2025 and beyond.
