Kiyosaki Warns Inflation Will Hit Hard Invest in Real Money
- Kiyosaki warns that inflation and fiat currency are eroding the wealth of the middle class.
- He urges investing in real assets like gold, silver, and Bitcoin to protect against inflation.
- Kiyosaki predicts financial devastation for Baby Boomers due to inflation impacting savings.
Financial expert and the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki has warned about inflation as central banks keep printing money which would result in a deeper crisis. He called the existing financial system “broken and corrupt,” and warned that widening income inequality and rising inflation were sapping the purchasing power of the poor and middle class.
Kiyosaki has long been a critic of fiat currency, claiming that it serves the wealthy and puts the savings of working people at risk. In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Kiyosaki continued his call for individuals to protect themselves from a monetary system that he believes is failing.
He referred to government-issued money as “fake money,” which, in his view, enriches the wealthy while deepening the struggles of the poor and middle class. Kiyosaki has long advocated for alternative assets like Bitcoin, gold, and silver, describing them as safer stores of value.
Kiyosaki Warns Rising Assets Won’t Shield From Inflation
Kiyosaki’s warning comes amid a period of rising prices for precious metals and cryptocurrencies. Gold, silver, and Bitcoin have all seen notable price increases in recent months. While celebrating this trend, Kiyosaki remains concerned about inflation’s broader impact. “While I am personally happy gold, silver, Bitcoin, Ethereum are going up… My concern is the price of life,” he wrote, noting that inflation makes life harder for the average person.
For Kiyosaki, the solution to preserving wealth isn’t just about making more money; it’s about shifting away from a monetary system that is losing value over time. He argues that holding “real money”—assets like gold, silver, and Bitcoin—is essential for protection against inflation’s long-term effects. In his view, the rich benefit from this system, while those relying on fiat money see their savings steadily erode.
Silver is one of Kiyosaki’s favorite safe-haven assets. He has also underscored increased silver demand and affordability as the fundamental factors that make the precious metal a great investment “If I had $100, I would buy more silver coins,” Kiyosaki said in a prior X post noting that silver has been manipulated for so long and therefore it is a great investment now.
Inflation’s Devastating Impact
Kiyosaki has consistently warned against holding savings in U.S. dollars, referring to those who do as “losers.” He predicts that inflation would reach unprecedented levels by 2025, further stressing that the traditional monetary system would continue to create financial hardship for ordinary citizens. The recent downturn in the cryptocurrency market, according to Kiyosaki, serves as a wake-up call for many investors.

The financial educator also draws attention to how inflation disproportionately impacts wage earners. While those with real estate, stocks, or crypto assets may see their wealth grow, the average person struggles as the prices of basic goods rise. “When you print fake money, you make life harder on people,” Kiyosaki explained, blaming the Federal Reserve’s policies for widening inequality.
Kiyosaki’s warnings extend to Baby Boomers, who he believes could face financial devastation as inflation erodes their retirement savings and Social Security benefits. He predicts that this generation would bear the brunt of the financial collapse brought on by rising inflation and the continuing devaluation of the dollar.
Even with the recent drop in Bitcoin’s price, Kiyosaki is still optimistic about the digital currency. He sees what’s happening as a chance to load up. In addition to Bitcoin, Kiyosaki remains a proponent of gold and silver as hedges for long-term wealth preservation. He considers these assets crucial to combat inflation and the monetary instability created by the current monetary system.
