Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, is once again urging people to buy Bitcoin, calling it one of the easiest ways to build wealth. He shared his latest opinion on social media late Sunday, expressing surprise that more people have not yet started accumulating even small amounts of the cryptocurrency.
Good to know
Bitcoin was trading at $109,600 Sunday night, recovering from a brief dip sparked by trade tension headlines. The recovery followed U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to pause a 50% tariff on European Union imports. That announcement came after a call with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, during which more time was requested to finalize a trade agreement.
Crypto markets reacted positively to the delay. Bitcoin stabilized, while U.S. equity futures moved higher. S&P 500 futures rose 0.9%, Dow futures climbed 0.8%, and Nasdaq futures also ticked up.
Amid the market reaction, Kiyosaki posted, “Why everyone is not buying and holding Bitcoin is beyond me. Even .01 of a Bitcoin is going to be priceless in two years… and maybe make you very rich.”
Kiyosaki has made similar statements over the past few years. In March 2024, he predicted Bitcoin could reach $100,000 by the end of that year, which was actually not much off. He later adjusted that forecast to $350,000 by the close of 2025. Alongside these predictions, he frequently warns about the decline of the U.S. dollar and encourages followers to own gold, silver, and Bitcoin as financial protection.
On Sunday, he reinforced this message by calling Bitcoin a long-term path to freedom. He compared its price swings to the ups and downs of life itself, advising people not to ignore what he sees as a rare chance to achieve financial independence.
He also encouraged followers to learn from prominent Bitcoin advocates, recommending Raoul Pal, Michael Saylor, and Anthony Pompliano. “Open your eyes and your mind… look into the future of money,” he wrote.
