Robert Kiyosaki: Ignore BTC/ETH Price Swings — Keep Buying Gold, Silver, Bitcoin and Ethereum
Robert Kiyosaki said he does not care about short-term price moves in Bitcoin, Ethereum, gold or silver and will continue buying those assets. Citing rising US national debt and declining dollar purchasing power, Kiyosaki argued macroeconomic risks outweigh near-term price volatility and criticized the competence of US policymakers. He reiterated plans to buy BTC and ETH funded by cash-flow businesses after recently selling a $2M bitcoin holding to purchase two surgery centers and a billboard business. Kiyosaki highlighted silver as his preferred asset, calling it “superior” in the Technology Age and forecasting a realistic target of $200/oz in 2026; silver recently rallied past $100/oz. Key takeaways for traders: Kiyosaki’s stance is long-term and macro-driven, emphasizing accumulation over timing; his views may influence retail sentiment but are opinion-based and unlikely to directly move liquid markets dominated by institutional flows.
Neutral
Kiyosaki’s statements are bullish in tone for Bitcoin, Ethereum, gold and especially silver because he advocates accumulation and sets a strong price target for silver. However, the market impact is likely neutral. He is a high-profile retail influencer, so his remarks can shape retail sentiment and motivate some buying, particularly in silver where retail interest is high after the recent rally. But major price moves in BTC and ETH are driven primarily by institutional flows, macro data, ETF flows, on-chain metrics and derivatives expiries. Kiyosaki’s sale of a prior BTC holding to fund businesses, then redeploying cash-flow into crypto, signals continued retail appetite rather than new systemic demand. Short-term: possible modest uplift in retail-driven demand or volatility if his posts trend. Long-term: reiteration of macro drivers (rising US debt, weaker dollar) aligns with common bullish narratives for hard assets, which could support continued accumulation interest but is insufficient alone to change market structure. Historical parallels: high-profile investor endorsements (or accumulation calls) have occasionally moved altcoins or retail-focused assets but have limited effect on BTC/ETH beyond amplifying existing trends.
