CAN'T WAIT FOR A GIANT CRASH: ROBERT KIYOSAKI CALLS MARKET CRASH A WEALTH OPPORTUNITY

Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has once again cautioned investors about an impending “giant stock market crash” — a scenario he has been warning about since his 2013 book Rich Dad’s Prophecy.

In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter) on February 17, Kiyosaki said the long-anticipated market collapse is now imminent. However, he described it not as a threat, but as a major wealth-building opportunity for those who are prepared.

“That giant crash is now imminent. The good news is that those of you who followed my rich dad’s warning and prepared… the coming crash will make you richer beyond your wildest dreams. For those who are not prepared, the coming crash will be your worst nightmare,” he wrote.

How Kiyosaki Plans to Profit

Over the past year, Kiyosaki has repeatedly argued that the global financial system is a “bubble” fueled by excessive debt, fiat currency expansion, and structural weaknesses in retirement systems.

In his latest post, he reiterated his preference for what he calls “real assets.” He said he currently holds physical gold, silver, and Bitcoin, and plans to accumulate more Bitcoin if prices fall further.

Kiyosaki stressed that he avoids what he terms “fake” versions of these assets, emphasizing the scarcity factor — particularly Bitcoin’s fixed supply of 21 million coins — as a hedge against financial turmoil.

“I will be buying more Bitcoin as people panic and sell into the coming crash. This coming crash may make you richer beyond your wildest dreams if you realize crashes are the best of times to get richer,” he said.

Crypto Market Context

His remarks come at a time when Bitcoin is trading more than 40% below its all-time high of around $127,000 recorded in October. The broader cryptocurrency market has shed nearly $2 trillion in value during the same period, according to data cited by Bloomberg from CoinGecko.

“Market crashes are priceless assets going on sale,” Kiyosaki wrote, urging investors to view downturns as opportunities to accumulate assets while others sell in panic.

His latest warning reinforces his long-standing philosophy: economic downturns are inevitable — but for disciplined investors, they can also be powerful moments for wealth creation.
