Kiyosaki Urges Savers to Shift Cash Into Bitcoin, Metals

Robert Kiyosaki posted on X on June 12 that U.S. dollar savings are under pressure from rising debt, inflation and expanding money creation, and advised savers to convert cash holdings into bitcoin, gold, silver and ethereum. He identified himself as the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad.

Kiyosaki framed $1 trillion as a symbol of rapid monetary expansion, writing that it would take 34,000 years to spend $1 trillion at $1 a minute and that the Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury can “print $1 trillion” in less than a minute. The roughly 34,000-year figure is often cited using a $1-a-second calculation, which equates to about 31,688 years when computed that way.

He linked rising federal debt and an expanding money supply to declining purchasing power for dollar savings and recommended moving funds into what he described as scarce assets. In the post he wrote: “Savers of dollars are losers. Cash is trash.” He added: “Trade cash in for some gold, silver, bitcoin, and ethereum and be a winner.”

Kiyosaki has repeatedly raised similar concerns in prior posts, arguing that growth in debt and money creation could produce high inflation or worse outcomes for holders of cash. He has warned about the possibility of a severe market downturn in 2026–27 and has pointed to past market declines in 1987, 2000, 2008, 2015, 2019 and 2022 when asset prices fell.

The June 12 post repeats themes Kiyosaki has emphasized for years about the long-term outlook for the U.S. dollar and the role of precious metals and cryptocurrencies in portfolios. The comments restate his long-running recommendation that ordinary savers reduce dollar cash holdings and increase exposure to assets he considers limited in supply.
