Bestselling author Robert Kiyosaki, famed for Rich Dad Poor Dad, has issued a stark warning to global investors, claiming that the “biggest crash in history” is already underway across the US, Europe, and Asia. In a series of recent posts on X, Kiyosaki urged investors to shift their portfolios toward hard, scarce assets such as gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum to protect against the unfolding financial turmoil.
Kiyosaki wrote: “Biggest crash in history starting… In 2013, I published RICH DAD’s PROPHECY, predicting the biggest crash in history was coming. Unfortunately, that crash has arrived… It’s not just the US — Europe and Asia are crashing.”
According to Kiyosaki, the current downturn is far more serious than a typical recession. He points to structural shifts driven by rapid technological disruption, particularly artificial intelligence, as a key trigger. As global markets struggle and artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes the workforce, Kiyosaki says the long-anticipated downturn he warned about more than a decade ago is now playing out in real time.
“AI will wipe out jobs, and when jobs crash, office and residential real estate crashes,” Kiyosaki warned, citing the threat of unemployment leading to a collapse in property values.
Kiyosaki recommends increasing exposure to what he considers the safest assets during times of crisis.
“Time to buy more gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum… Silver is the best and the safest,” he stated. He offered a bold price forecast for silver, currently at around $50, predicting it could reach $70 soon and potentially $200 by 2026.
Kiyosaki emphasized that crises also present opportunities for those prepared. “The good news is, while millions will lose everything… if you are prepared… this crash will make you richer,” he said.
This latest warning follows a prediction Kiyosaki made on November 9, when he anticipated an impending market crash but said he would continue buying assets. At the time, he projected gold could rise to $27,000 and Bitcoin to $250,000 by 2026.
Kiyosaki often cites what he calls the “laws of money,” including Gresham’s and Metcalfe’s laws, to justify his strategy of buying gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum during market downturns, arguing that scarce assets tend to outperform as fiat currencies weaken.
He believes the ongoing market meltdown represents a historic wealth transfer. While millions may face severe financial losses, early movers could emerge as major beneficiaries. “It’s coming,” he warned. “But if you prepare, it could be the best time of your life.”
