Robert Kiyosaki reveals why he trusts Bitcoin over cash

Robert Kiyosaki, the famous author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has once again made headlines by explaining why he trusts Bitcoin more than traditional cash.

In a message to his millions of followers on X (formerly Twitter), he cautioned that many are still poor due to neglect of fundamental financial truths. The message was simple: Learn money laws, avoid fake money, and save with real assets like Bitcoin.

Kiyosaki’s post, “ARE YOU BREAKING the LAWS?, called out the people who violated two important laws of money: Gresham’s Law and Metcalf’s Law.

Gresham’s Law reads, “Bad money drives good money out of circulation.” He said that when governments make new fiat currency – which Kiyosaki refers to as “fake money” – it loses worth.

ARE YOU BREAKING the LAWS?

Most poor people are poor…. because they break the 2 most important laws of money.

LAW #1: GRESHAM’s LAW: “When bad money enters a system….good money goes into hiding”

In Rich Dad Poor Dad….I stated….
“ Savers are losers.” In 2025 poor people…

In return, smart investors bury or shelter their fortune in things with actual, enduring value. For Kiyosaki, these assets are gold, silver, and Bitcoin.

He emphasized that saving in dollars or other fiat currencies doesn’t make sense, pointing out that people essentially save in something that loses value daily. He questioned why anyone would save “fake money” and urged his followers to save what he called “good money”—decentralized assets that cannot be printed at will.

Kiyosaki contrasted successful companies like FedEx and McDonald’s — powerful because they create strong networks and smaller operations like “Mom Pop Burgers” that fail because they lack the network advantage.

Kiyosaki stated that Bitcoin is a network, so he invested in it. He warned that many cryptocurrencies lack strong network support and are likely poor investments. He advised people to follow the laws of money and invest in assets that gain value through the strength of their networks.

Major financial players invest in Bitcoin

Kiyosaki is not the only one who has faith in Bitcoin’s potential future. The biggest Wall Street players are also buying in. Among the biggest names is Michael Saylor, founder and chairman of Strategy Inc., who has emerged as one of Bitcoin’s loudest corporate advocates.

This week, Saylor’s outfit acquired an additional 7,390 BTC to its tropospheric holdings. The total purchase cost $764 million, bringing the company’s total amount to 576,230 BTC, worth over $62 billion today. Saylor’s average purchase price is $69,726 per Bitcoin.

In that post, Kiyosaki quotes Saylor’s advice to “only invest in things a rich person will buy from you,” highlighting their shared belief that Bitcoin has evolved beyond a fringe asset. He noted that some of the most influential figures in finance now view it as a legitimate and serious store of value.

Both men believe Bitcoin is a bulwark against inflation and misguided government monetary policy. As central banks keep printing money and global debt rises, they think Bitcoin will grow more valuable.

Kiyosaki says BTC has a bright future

Kiyosaki has been forecasting huge Bitcoin gains for years now. He reiterated his bold price target earlier this year: $500,000 per BTC. He thinks soaring inflation, ballooning debt, and economic uncertainty will lead more people to store value in Bitcoin.

And he’s not alone. Other financial pundits also project strong growth for the crypto giant. Bitcoin has recently rallied to a new all-time high of $111,970.16 before its first small pullback. As of this writing, Bitcoin is priced at $107,424, according to CoinMarketCap.

Even as prices have soared, analysts say the recent surge in trading activity indicates a robust demand from institutions and everyday investors. There are even a few spot Bitcoin ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds) now, enabling folks to invest in BTC without learning how wallets and keys work.

Meanwhile, nations and central banks struggle to cope with inflation, banking collapses, and their devaluing money. According to Kiyosaki, these challenges further bolster the case for Bitcoin.
