Kiyosaki Calls Bitcoin and Gold ‘Insurance’—But Skips One Dip

Robert Kiyosaki compared holding bitcoin, gold, and silver to carrying insurance, calling himself a “financial prepper” in a recent post on X, according to the source report. He wrote, “I only want money government cannot print.”

Insurance, not doom

Per the source, Kiyosaki argued that preparing for monetary instability is not the same as predicting disaster. In the post, he asked, “Do you own any gold, silver, bitcoin?” and criticized government-issued money.

His case for scarce assets

The source notes that Kiyosaki’s concerns center on inflation and monetary expansion eroding purchasing power. Bitcoin fits his thesis as a scarce asset with a 21 million coin cap, though the source also points out that scarcity alone does not guarantee preserved purchasing power over any specific period.

Buying weakness—except when he didn’t

The source report adds that after warning a few months ago that a financial crash “accelerates,” Kiyosaki said he was accumulating assets including BTC and ETH rather than sitting in cash. It also says his public stance has shifted at times: in June, he explained why he wasn’t buying the BTC and ETH dip yet, even though prices bottomed within about a week.

Tone shift, same strategy

According to the source, Kiyosaki’s latest comments are less apocalyptic than some of his earlier warnings, but his core approach—holding BTC, gold, and silver as alternatives to fiat-based savings—remains in place.
