Robert Kiyosaki Predicts the Big Crash and Recommends Silver as Top Investment

Robert Kiyosaki, the best-selling author of 'Rich Dad Poor Dad,' has issued a stark warning to investors: the 'biggest crash in history' has begun. According to Kiyosaki, this downturn is not limited to the U.S. but is sweeping across Europe and Asia as well. He urges investors to take shelter in gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum, with silver being his top choice.

Kiyosaki made his prediction in a post on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “Biggest crash in history starting. In 2013, I published RICH DAD’s PROPHECY predicting the biggest crash in history was coming. Unfortunately, that crash has arrived. It’s not just the U.S.—Europe and Asia are crashing.”

Kiyosaki links the current turmoil to the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on employment and property markets. “AI will wipe out jobs, and when jobs crash, office and residential real estate crashes,” he said. This prediction underscores the broader economic implications of technological advancements and their potential to disrupt traditional industries.

Against this backdrop, Kiyosaki advises investors to increase their exposure to safer, scarce assets. “Time to buy more gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum,” he wrote, adding, “Silver is the best and the safest.” Kiyosaki is particularly bullish on silver, outlining a specific price path for the metal: “Silver is $50 today. I predict silver will hit $70 soon and possibly $200 in 2026.”

While warning that the damage will be widespread, Kiyosaki frames the crash as an opportunity for those who are prepared. “The good news is, while millions will lose everything… if you are prepared… this crash will make you richer,” he wrote, adding that he will share further strategies in future posts.

Kiyosaki’s message builds on comments he made earlier this month, when he again predicted a market crash but insisted he was not selling. In a November 9 post, he wrote, “CRASH COMING: Why I am buying not selling,” setting ambitious targets of $27,000 for gold and $250,000 for Bitcoin by 2026. He accused the U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve of “printing fake money,” which he believes is contributing to the economic instability.

Kiyosaki’s investment approach is shaped by what he calls the “laws of money.” “That is why I keep buying gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum even when they crash,” he said earlier this month, citing Gresham’s and Metcalfe’s laws to support his thesis. Gresham’s law suggests that bad money drives out good, while Metcalfe’s law posits that the value of a network grows with the square of the number of connected users.

For Kiyosaki, the warning is stark but the message is consistent: the collapse he predicted more than a decade ago is now unfolding, and for those who are prepared, it may become the biggest opportunity of all. Despite the grim outlook, Kiyosaki remains optimistic that well-prepared investors can navigate the storm and emerge wealthier on the other side.

While Kiyosaki’s predictions and investment advice are influential, it’s important for investors to conduct their own research and consider a diversified investment strategy. The economic landscape is complex, and individual financial situations can vary widely.
