'Rich Dad' Kiyosaki: "Invest in bitcoin and other assets that can't be printed"

Robert Kiyosaki, author of the bestselling "Rich Dad Poor Dad," highlighted the need to invest in tangible assets including bitcoin (BTC) and ethereum (ETH), citing the possibility of a global economic crisis in 2026.

On the 27th (Korea time), Kiyosaki wrote on X (formerly Twitter) that he believes "a global economic crisis could begin in 2026." He added, "I'm not sure whether a crisis will actually occur, but if it does materialize, those who are prepared can become richer," while arguing that "many people, on the other hand, could fall into poverty."

Kiyosaki again voiced a skeptical view of traditional financial assets. "I don't invest in assets created by the Federal Reserve (Fed), the government, and Wall Street," he said, adding that he does not favor assets such as "stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs," or holding cash.

Instead, he pointed to "assets that can't be printed"—such as gold, silver, bitcoin (BTC), and ethereum (ETH)—as core investment targets. He explained, "I own physical gold and silver and bitcoin, and I also invest in real-economy businesses such as oil production and agriculture."

He went on to say that investors should put money into assets with real-world backing and scarcity, rather than assets the Fed or the government can print, adding that a crisis phase can become an opportunity for prepared investors.
