Lying about buying Bitcoin at $6,000?…Kiyosaki: “Does the purchase timing matter?”

Robert Kiyosaki, best-selling author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, pushed back against controversy over when he bought Bitcoin, saying “what matters is not the date, but the price and value.”

In a post on X on the 7th (local time), Kiyosaki said, “Some people claim it’s a lie that I bought Bitcoin at $6,000,” adding, “I know the price, not the purchase date.”

Previously, some online users raised doubts about his investment track record, arguing that the date implied by his stated purchase price did not match Bitcoin’s market price at the time.

On this, he said, “I don’t know why anyone is obsessed with when I bought Bitcoin,” and pointed out, “Isn’t there a personal agenda?” He continued, “If Bitcoin falls back to $6,000, I’ll buy more,” adding, “Even then, I won’t care about the date.”

Kiyosaki also said he is preparing to buy more gold. “I don’t remember exactly when I bought assets, but I’m glad I bought them,” he said, stressing that “what matters is whether you hold them and their long-term value.”

He advised investors to “keep your distance from people who are more fixated on the purchase date than on an asset’s value,” and urged them to “focus on the fundamentals of real and alternative assets such as Bitcoin, gold, silver, and Ethereum.”
