Financial educator and author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki, has renewed his criticism of the traditional financial system, calling the U.S. dollar “fake money.”
In a recent post on X, he described the monetary system as “broken and corrupt,” claiming it enriches the wealthy while deepening the struggles of the poor and middle class. His latest comments surfaced along with the growing concerns about inflation and the rising cost of living across the United States and various parts of the world.
THE RICH get RICHER: while I am personally happy gold, silver, Bitcoin, Ethereum are going up…. My concern is the price of life…. AKA…inflation….makes life harder on the poor and middle class.
Please do your best to not be a victim of a broken and corrupt monetary system.…

Robert Kiyosaki Cautions Against Government-Issued Money
Kiyosaki argues that government-issued currencies are losing credibility due to persistent inflation and economic mismanagement. He urged individuals to avoid becoming victims of a system that he believes devalues savings and decreases purchasing power. The financial literacy author suggested that rising prices for gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum are warning signs of deeper inflationary pressures.
In his statement, he noted that while the increase in safe-haven assets may appear positive, the overall impact is that “the price of life,” which he referred to as inflation, continues to rise, making essential goods less affordable. Kiyosaki pointed out that this inflationary impact mainly affects low- and middle-income households, who face increasing expenses without corresponding income growth.
Focus on Bitcoin and Ethereum Amid Market Volatility
The financial author advises investors to protect themselves by acquiring what he terms “real assets,” specifically gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum. He described this approach as a defense against the loss of wealth caused by inflation rather than a strategy for profit. In his view, wealth preservation now depends on escaping a system built on the depreciation of fiat currencies.
Kiyosaki reiterated his long-standing prediction that the largest inflation event in modern history could occur in 2025. He referred to past statements in which he warned that savers would be most affected, stating, “Inflation turns savers’ cash into trash.” His comments followed a recent downturn in the crypto market, which he said affirms his earlier warnings.
Despite the market downturn, Robert Kiyosaki has been doubling down on his bullish stance toward Bitcoin and Ethereum, calling them the “safe havens” in a falling fiat system. While most investors panic-sell, the Rich Dad, Poor Dad author recently disclosed that he bought more Bitcoin and Ethereum, betting that the digital assets will outlast the weakening U.S. dollar.
His latest commentary comes as leading cryptocurrencies face persistent pressure amid a broader market downturn. Bitcoin is trading at $106,828, up 1.76%, while Ethereum sits at $3,883.51, reflecting a 4.68% gain over the past 24 hours.
