Robert Kiyosaki calls Bitcoin and Ethereum real money and urges investors to protect their wealth instead of holding fiat currency.
Robert Kiyosaki, the author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” reiterated that Bitcoin and Ethereum represent “real money” compared to government-issued fiat currencies. He urged investors to save in BTC and ETH rather than relying on fiat, citing inflation and weaknesses in the current monetary system. Kiyosaki emphasized that holding these digital assets can help protect wealth and preserve purchasing power during uncertain economic conditions.
Kiyosaki urges investors to protect their wealth with Bitcoin and Ethereum
In a recent X article, Kiyosaki encouraged investors to focus on “real money” assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, gold and silver rather than fiat currency. He said inflation was making life increasingly difficult for the middle and lower classes, while fiat continued to favor the rich.
THE RICH are getting RICHER: even if I am personally happy, gold, silver, Bitcoin, Ethereum are increasing…. What worries me is the price of life…. AKA…inflation…makes life harder for the poor and middle class.
Please do your best not to fall victim to a broken and corrupt monetary system.…

He added: “Government money is fake money. It enriches the rich and, unfortunately, impoverishes the poor.” Kiyosaki’s message highlights his belief that digital currencies and precious metals are safer options in the current financial environment.
Past recommendations and market context for BTC and ETH
Kiyosaki has repeatedly advised holding Bitcoin and Ethereum rather than fiat, pointing to market disruptions such as recent bond market collapses in the US, UK and Europe. These events, he said, demonstrate the risks of relying solely on government-issued currency during periods of volatility.
The BTC price recently reached new highs, peaking above $126,000 earlier this month, before retreating amid broader market corrections. Kiyosaki sees these moves as part of a broader trend where investors are hedging against inflation and macroeconomic uncertainty by turning to digital assets.
Other experts echo similar views on digital assets
Bitcoin advocate Max Keizer also expressed similar sentiments. He referenced a 2021 article by Twitter founder Jack pointing out that hyperinflation would reshape markets. Keizer said the recent strength in Bitcoin and gold validates this outlook and reinforces their role as safe haven assets.
From @jack in 2021:
He was absolutely right and what we see in Gold & Bitcoin is proof.
I suggest people stop arguing about gold vs. Bitcoin and the OP RETURN regression, and focus on taking your safe haven asset Bitcoin and moving to the safe haven country, El Salvador.

Keiser further stated that gold and silver are “easily confiscated,” while Bitcoin is “unconfiscable,” making it a safer option for preserving wealth. He advised investors to focus on protecting their holdings through BTC rather than debating which is the best safe haven.
Kiyosaki and Keizer’s views highlight the increasingly prevalent narrative that digital currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum offer practical alternatives to traditional fiat, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. Both experts continue to advocate for these assets as tools to safeguard wealth and mitigate the effects of inflation.
