Overview
- Robert Kiyosaki called Bitcoin and Ethereum “people’s money,” labeled gold and silver “God’s money,” and described government-linked assets as “fake money.”
- He repeated a forecast that Bitcoin could reach $250,000 by 2026, framing the call as a conviction about scarce, decentralized assets.
- Kiyosaki warned against ETFs and REITs, calling them paper or counterfeit versions of real assets and urging investors to rethink paper-based exposure.
- He said he owns gold mines, physical gold and silver, plus Bitcoin and Ethereum because he does not trust the Federal Reserve, the U.S. Treasury, or Wall Street.
- His remarks followed renewed crypto swings with Bitcoin in the mid-$90,000s, as Buffett’s long-held critique resurfaced and Berkshire Hathaway disclosed a $4.3 billion Alphabet purchase that lifted GOOG in premarket trading.
