R. Kiyosaki Calls $700B Crypto Rout a Buying Opportunity — ‘Act Like the Rich’

Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, told followers on X that the recent market sell-off is a buying opportunity. He framed the drop — which coincided with roughly $700 billion wiped from crypto market cap since the January 14 peak and large losses in gold and silver — as a “massive sale” and urged investors to increase allocations to gold, silver and Bitcoin. Kiyosaki contrasted ‘rich’ investors, who buy assets on deep discounts, with those who miss the chance. Market context: spot gold and silver fell sharply alongside cryptocurrencies, signaling broader market stress rather than a flight to safety. Analysts cited in the coverage noted that Bitcoin’s historical four‑year cycle appears disrupted, raising the possibility of a prolonged cycle low and extended recovery time. Traders are warned that while crashes can offer outsized returns for durable assets, recoveries may take years and volatility can force forced selling. Implications for traders: the news reinforces a ‘buy the dip’ narrative among retail and some macro-focused investors, but also highlights elevated systemic risk and the potential for extended downside or sideways action. Traders should balance position sizing, use stop management, and consider liquidity and time horizon before increasing exposure to BTC or precious metals.
