Kiyosaki warns ‘everything bubble’ could cause depression

Robert Kiyosaki wrote on X that a bursting ‘Everything Bubble’ could cause a global depression and rising homelessness, and urged investors to buy bitcoin as a hedge against fiat currency risk.

Kiyosaki named Dubai, Las Vegas, Tokyo and New York City as cities showing stress in real estate, tourism and capital markets. He linked those pressures to long-term debt growth and monetary policy choices he has criticized previously.

He referenced his 2002 book Rich Dad’s Prophecy and wrote that predictions from the book are appearing in 2026. Kiyosaki wrote that individuals can prepare to reduce harm and seek opportunity as markets shift.

Previously, Kiyosaki tied 1974 shifts to 2026 risks, recommended bitcoin as a defensive asset and has also advised holding gold and silver. He argued digital currency can protect against fiat debasement and expansive monetary policy.

One post included the line ‘Unfortunately homelessness will spread globally.’ Kiyosaki did not provide supporting data in his posts. His recent remarks repeat themes he has raised in earlier public comments linking debt, monetary policy and asset prices.
