Kiyosaki Rebuts Buffett: 2 Reasons Bitcoin Beats Traditional Assets

In a recent post on X, author Robert Kiyosaki challenges Warren Buffett’s long-standing view that Bitcoin is mere speculation. He argues that traditional markets carry “system risk,” citing unexpected stock market downturns, real estate cycle flips, and shifts in U.S. Treasury holdings by large foreign investors. Kiyosaki notes that even Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway has sold stocks for 12 consecutive quarters while increasing its Treasury bill holdings. His second point highlights Bitcoin’s fixed supply of 21 million coins. Unlike governments that can expand the money supply or financial markets that continually create new paper products, Bitcoin’s capped issuance aligns it with scarce assets like gold and silver. Kiyosaki concludes that investing is about managing risk—and for him, holding assets that cannot be inflated is key. His defence reinforces Bitcoin’s appeal as a hedge against policy-driven monetary expansion.
