Robert Kiyosaki, author of “Rich Dad, Poor Dad,” told media outlets on November 4, 2026 that he is waiting for the next downturn in gold, silver and Bitcoin. He said he will increase his holdings when prices fall, arguing that soaring global debt and what he describes as the failure of fiat money create a perfect buying opportunity. The comments were reported by BeInCrypto and echoed by other outlets such as U.Today.

Debt and fiat currency as the catalyst

According to BeInCrypto, Kiyosaki’s rationale centers on the expanding size of global debt, particularly in the United States, where federal debt has reached roughly $40.6 trillion. He characterises fiat currency as "fake money" that erodes the wealth of workers and savers, and he blames political leaders for incompetence and an education system that ignores financial literacy.

Past price targets and current market levels

Kiyosaki has previously set ambitious price targets for 2026: $250,000 for Bitcoin, $27,000 for gold and $100 for silver. While silver briefly exceeded his target, topping $121 per ounce in January, the rally was short‑lived. Gold fell from a brief $5,600 peak to around $4,023 per ounce, and Bitcoin recovered to about $80,500 after a dip to $75,618, still down roughly 3.8% for the week. All three assets remain well below Kiyosaki’s earlier forecasts.

What to watch next

Investors should monitor debt‑related policy developments in the U.S. and the broader macro environment that could trigger the kind of market stress Kiyosaki anticipates. Additionally, price movements in gold, silver and Bitcoin over the coming weeks will indicate whether a broader correction is materialising, potentially validating Kiyosaki’s strategy.
