Renowned financial author Robert Kiyosaki, best known for his bestselling book Rich Dad Poor Dad, has issued one of his most severe warnings to date, declaring that the biggest crash in history has already commenced and is rapidly spreading across global markets.
The Global Financial Meltdown
In a recent post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Kiyosaki stated that the massive economic downturn he predicted over a decade ago in his 2013 book Rich Dad's Prophecy is now unfolding in real time. This isn't just affecting the United States—he emphasized that Europe and Asia are simultaneously experiencing this financial collapse.
Kiyosaki argues that today's economic turmoil represents more than just a typical recession. The structural forces driving this collapse run much deeper than cyclical slowdowns or shifting investor sentiment. According to his analysis, artificial intelligence serves as the primary trigger for this unprecedented market crash.
AI Job Displacement and Real Estate Collapse
The author provided a detailed explanation of how technological disruption, particularly AI, will catalyze the economic downturn. AI will eliminate millions of jobs, and when employment crashes, the office and residential real estate markets will follow suit, he warned.
Kiyosaki painted a grim picture of the domino effect: widespread job losses due to AI implementation will lead to reduced consumer spending power, which in turn will cause property values to plummet as people can no longer afford mortgages or commercial leases.
Kiyosaki's Investment Strategy: Gold, Silver, Bitcoin, Ethereum
Against this bleak backdrop, the financial guru is urging investors to immediately reposition their portfolios toward what he considers the world's safest assets. Time to buy more gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum, he advised, while particularly emphasizing his strong preference for silver as the best and safest investment option.
Kiyosaki didn't just make general recommendations—he provided specific price projections for silver, noting that while silver currently trades at $50, he predicts it will reach $70 soon and potentially hit $200 by 2026.
Despite the alarming predictions, Kiyosaki maintains that financial crises create extraordinary opportunities for prepared investors. While millions will lose everything, if you are prepared, this crash will make you richer, he stated, promising to share more detailed strategies in future social media posts.
Historical Context and Previous Predictions
This latest warning aligns with Kiyosaki's earlier predictions made on November 9, when he forecasted an impending market crash while simultaneously announcing he would continue buying assets. At that time, he predicted gold would reach $27,000 and Bitcoin would hit $250,000 by 2026.
The author frequently references what he calls the laws of money, including Gresham's Law and Metcalfe's Law, to justify his continued accumulation of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum even during market downturns. His core argument remains consistent: scarce assets outperform when fiat currencies weaken.
Kiyosaki believes the unfolding financial meltdown represents a pivotal moment for investors worldwide. While acknowledging that millions may suffer severe financial losses, he argues that those who position themselves correctly early could benefit from what might become the greatest wealth transfer in modern history.
It's coming, he concluded, but if you prepare, it could be the best time of your life.
