Robert Kiyosaki, author of the bestselling Rich Dad Poor Dad, is sounding the alarm — again.
In an April 19 post on X (formerly Twitter), the finance educator warned that the U.S. is on the edge of a full-blown “Greater Depression” and told followers to act now before it’s too late.
“Credit card debt is at all-time highs. US debt is at all-time highs. Unemployment is rising. 401(k)s are losing. Pensions are being stolen,” Kiyosaki wrote. “USA may be heading for a GREATER DEPRESSION.”
The investor says he saw it coming years ago, claiming that his past books like Rich Dad’s Prophecy and Who Stole My Pension predicted the financial chaos now unfolding. Now, he believes the crash is underway — and that bold action is needed.
His advice? It’s the same he’s been giving for years: buy Bitcoin, gold, and silver.
“I strongly believe, by 2035, that one Bitcoin will be over $1 million dollars. Gold will be $30k and silver $3,000 a coin,” Kiyosaki wrote.
He argues that even owning half a Bitcoin or a few ounces of gold could change someone’s financial life — especially once the economic storm passes. “The giant crash I predicted… may be the opportunity of your lifetime to achieve great wealth and more importantly… financial freedom,” he said.
He also took aim at what he calls the “poor mindset,” criticizing people who say things like “I can’t afford it” or “I’ll try.” Kiyosaki said, “Poor people speak poorly about themselves.” He encouraged followers to take self-responsibility and make smart moves while they still can.
This warning comes as economic pressure builds. Tariff tensions between the U.S. and China are pushing inflation higher, with President Trump recently raising tariffs on Chinese imports to 245%.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin was trading at $85,168.90 at press time, up 0.5% on the day, according to Kraken.
Kiyosaki says this is not about hype. It’s about survival. And those who listen — he believes — could be the next generation of millionaires.
“Buy gold, silver, and Bitcoin,” he repeated. “It’s not too late — if you take action.”
