Robert Kiyosaki: Bitcoin Is a Better Investment Than Gold
Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, reiterated his preference for Bitcoin over gold in a recent tweet. He advised diversification with gold and silver but said if forced to choose one asset he would pick BTC because bitcoin is capped at 21 million coins, creating built-in scarcity, whereas gold’s supply can expand as more mining occurs. The article notes Bitcoin’s circulating supply is about 19.98 million, under 2 million from the 21 million limit. Kiyosaki called the fixed supply a “brilliant strategy” likely to push BTC’s value higher. The piece also highlights Kiyosaki’s inconsistent past statements about buying and selling BTC — he previously claimed to buy during price rises, said he stopped buying at $6,000, and later sold a stash he’d bought at that price for $2.25 million to fund other businesses — raising questions about which holdings he referenced in his latest tweet.
Neutral
Kiyosaki’s endorsement of Bitcoin reinforces a pro-BTC narrative emphasizing scarcity (21 million cap). Such celebrity support can boost retail interest and sentiment, potentially providing short-term buying pressure. However, this specific statement is commentary rather than new fundamental news (no regulatory, technical, or macro event), and Kiyosaki’s history of mixed signals reduces the credibility and lasting market impact. Historically, influential figures expressing bullish views (e.g., high-profile investors praising BTC) can spark short-lived rallies or increased search and social activity, but lasting price moves typically require broader catalysts like ETF flows, regulatory shifts, macro liquidity, or on-chain demand changes. Therefore expect possible short-term sentiment-driven volatility or modest upside as traders react, but little structural change to long-term market stability based solely on this tweet.
