The financial educator warned in an April 19 post on X (formerly Twitter) that the U.S. is on the brink of a full-blown “Great Depression” and told followers to act now before it’s too late.
“Credit card debt is at an all-time high. U.S. debt is at an all-time high. Unemployment is rising. 401(k) retirement plans are losing money. Pensions are being stolen,” Kiyosaki wrote. “America may be heading for a worse economic depression.”
The investor said he saw this coming years ago and claims his previous books, such as “Rich Dad’s Prophecy” and “Who Stole My Pension?” predicted the financial chaos currently unfolding. Now, he thinks the crisis is happening — and bold action is needed.
His advice? The same advice he’s been giving for years: Buy Bitcoin, gold, and silver.
“I firmly believe that by 2035, the price of a single Bitcoin will be over $1 million. The price of gold will be $30,000 and the price of silver will be $3,000,” Kiyosaki wrote.
He believes that owning even half a bitcoin or a few ounces of gold could transform a person’s financial situation — especially after the economic storm passes. “This big crash I predict… could be your chance in your lifetime to achieve great wealth and more importantly… financial freedom,” he said.
He also slammed what he called a “poverty mentality,” criticizing people who say things like “I can’t afford it” or “I’ll try.” “Poor people devalue themselves,” Kiyosaki said. He encouraged his followers to take responsibility and make smart moves while they still can.
The warning comes as economic pressures are mounting. Tariff tensions between the U.S. and China are driving up inflation, with President Trump recently raising tariffs on Chinese imports to 245%.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin is trading at $85,168.90 at press time, up 0.5% on the day, according to Kraken.
Kiyosaki said this isn’t about hype, it’s about survival. He believes those who follow his advice could be the next generation of millionaires.
“Buy gold, silver, and bitcoin,” he repeated. “It’s not too late – if you just take action.”
