Robert Kiyosaki has warned that the global economy is moving towards a severe downturn, arguing that recent Federal Reserve interest rate cuts signal deeper structural weakness rather than recovery.
The author of Rich Dad Poor Dad told his followers that lower rates encourage excessive borrowing, weaken national currencies and intensify inflationary pressures already affecting households worldwide.
He cautioned that rising prices will hit those who rely on savings and wages the hardest, while rewarding individuals positioned in alternative assets.
This will lead to hyper-inflation… making life very expensive for the unprepared, Robert Kiyosaki said.
Kiyosaki reiterated his long-held view that inflation operates as a hidden tax, quietly eroding purchasing power while transferring wealth away from savers.
He stressed that his investment approach has remained consistent despite market volatility and policy changes from central banks.
My suggestion is the same… buy more real gold, silver, bitcoin, and ethereum, Robert Kiyosaki said.
According to the financial author, tangible assets and decentralised digital currencies provide a hedge against what he sees as the long-term decline of fiat money.
Kiyosaki also disclosed that he increased his exposure to precious metals immediately following the latest rate decision by the Federal Reserve.
I bought more real silver as soon as the Fed announced another rate cut last week, Robert Kiyosaki said.
Looking ahead, he offered a bullish forecast for silver prices, predicting significant gains over the next two years if current trends persist.
Silver is going to the moon, possibly $200 an ounce in 2026. Silver was $20 an ounce in 2024, Robert Kiyosaki said.
His comments reflect growing scepticism among some investors towards government-led economic management and expanding monetary policy.
Kiyosaki expressed frustration with what he described as repeated policy decisions that favour financial institutions over ordinary citizens.
I just hate getting screwed by my own government… and I am going to get richer when the fake economy crashes, Robert Kiyosaki said.
In previous statements, he has consistently warned about the potential collapse of the US dollar and mounting risks within the broader financial system.
Kiyosaki remains firmly optimistic about Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC), gold and silver, which he believes will play a crucial role as safeguards during a possible economic reckoning.
At the time of reporting, Bitcoin price was $88,058.97.
