American author and financial educator Robert Kiyosaki is again warning followers about a major economic collapse and arguing that prepared investors could benefit from the fallout. The “Rich Dad Poor Dad” author pointed to his early silver purchases during the 1960s as an example of spotting long-term trends before the broader public recognized them. Though his latest comments focused heavily on silver, Kiyosaki has repeatedly promoted Bitcoin (BTC) as one of the safest assets to hold during periods of financial instability.

Kiyosaki Says Hard Assets Will Win

Specifically, in a post published on X on May 11, Kiyosaki said investors who understand long-term macroeconomic trends are often positioned to benefit most once financial conditions deteriorate. 

He referenced buying silver decades ago when prices were still extremely low and suggested similar opportunities may exist today for people willing to look beyond traditional markets. As Kiyosaki wrote:

“The best investors can see the future.”

The longtime author and investor claimed the global economy is approaching another major breakdown, describing the coming period as good news for those prepared to act early. He has spent years criticizing fiat currency expansion and debt-driven monetary policy.

Over time, that thesis expanded beyond gold and silver into Bitcoin, which he frequently describes as protection against inflation, currency debasement, banking instability, and poor governmental policies.

Bitcoin Remains Central to His Thesis

Though the latest post didn’t directly mention BTC, Kiyosaki has repeatedly forecast significantly higher Bitcoin prices during previous market cycles. Earlier, he predicted Bitcoin could eventually reach $750K as confidence in traditional financial systems weakens and institutional adoption accelerates.

He has also consistently framed Bitcoin alongside gold and silver as a “real asset” rather than a speculative technology play.

“In 2026 the global economy is about to crash. That’s good news for those that can see the future. Bad news for the blind.”

The latest warning arrives as investors continue debating whether global markets are entering another risk-off phase tied to geopolitical tensions and slowing economic growth.

Bitcoin itself has remained volatile in recent weeks, repeatedly failing to hold breakouts above the $80,000 level despite renewed institutional inflows and exchange-traded funds (ETF) demand.
