14-4-2025 – Robert Kiyosaki, the renowned financial author behind the international bestseller “Rich Dad Poor Dad”, has sounded fresh alarm bells over what he perceives as an imminent breakdown of worldwide financial systems.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter) on 13 April, the outspoken financial commentator highlighted several market indicators he believes portend serious economic turbulence. Chief among these are the unprecedented surge in gold valuations, heightened demand for silver, and bitcoin’s continued prominence.
The author’s latest proclamation builds upon themes explored in his earlier works, including “Rich Dad’s Prophecy” and “Fake”. His criticism targets major monetary authorities, including the Federal Reserve, European Central Bank, and Bank of Japan, whom he accuses of orchestrating what he terms a “sinister global banking cartel” that systematically diminishes individual wealth.
PLEASE LISTEN to Gold, Silver, & Bitcoin. What are they telling you?
Gold is at an all time high, demand for silver is exploding, and Bitcoin is roaring.Are you listening?
REPEATING MYSELF, I warned of the biggest stock and bond market crash in history was coming in my…

Drawing particular attention to alternative assets, Kiyosaki advocates for gold, silver, and bitcoin as bulwarks against what he describes as the erosion of traditional currency values. His pointed criticism of the US dollar, which he branded as “corrupt and crooked”, accompanies his assertion that a fundamental restructuring of global finance is already in motion.
The financial educator expressed particular concern for conventional investors, suggesting those holding traditional securities like stocks, bonds, and mutual funds risk significant wealth deterioration. He posits that only those pivoting towards tangible assets might emerge as “the new rich and the new leaders of the world”.
Notably, Kiyosaki’s commentary extended beyond immediate financial concerns to question the merit of debt-funded formal education. His endorsement of bitcoin as “the people’s money” aligns with a growing perspective among investors who favour decentralised assets as shields against economic uncertainty and institutional control.
His stark warning – “That giant crash has arrived” – encapsulates his view that previously predicted market turbulence is no longer a future prospect but a present reality, calling for immediate protective action from investors.
