Kiyosaki: Bitcoin, Gold, Silver - Stop Debating, Start Owning

Robert Kiyosaki, the renowned author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad," has sparked a lively discussion among his followers about the merits of Bitcoin, gold, and silver as safe haven assets. In a series of tweets, Kiyosaki emphasized the importance of holding these assets in one's portfolio, rather than debating their relative merits.

Kiyosaki posed a question to his followers: "Why do people spend so much time discussing stupid differences?" He argued that the only relevant question is "how many ounces of real gold, silver, or number of Bitcoins" one holds. He also quoted Albert Einstein, saying: "Two things are infinite. The universe and human stupidity."

While some commentators agreed with Kiyosaki, others argued that Bitcoin's unique properties make it the most valuable asset. One user stated, "If you understand what makes money money and you also understand Bitcoin, the only answer is Bitcoin." Another user declared, "Bitcoin is the future, so consequently, it’s the hardest asset. Metals are the past!"

In a surprising tweet, Kiyosaki suggested that Bitcoin might be a scam. However, he quickly clarified that he believes the Federal Reserve and the U.S. dollars it produces to be a much bigger scam. Kiyosaki argued that the Fed's policy of printing money to bail out banks during financial crises, such as the one in 2023, is a dangerous practice that should be stopped.

Kiyosaki recommended buying real gold, silver, and Bitcoin to protect one's savings against banks. He warned against investing in Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (EFTs), calling them "bankster’s money." Instead, he advocated for direct ownership of Bitcoin and holding physical gold and silver.
