Robert Kiyosaki advises gold, silver, Bitcoin, Ethereum as hedge

Robert Kiyosaki, author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad", used his social‑media accounts on May 13, 2026 to tell followers to protect their wealth by buying gold, silver, Bitcoin and Ethereum. He said inflation is being driven by two forces: a continuing war in Iran that pushes oil prices higher, and rising national debt that forces governments to print more fiat money. Kiyosaki highlighted that U.S. consumer‑price inflation has risen to 3.8% over the past 12 months, nearly double the Federal Reserve’s target. He described the recommended assets as "real money" with limited supplies—citing Bitcoin’s 21‑million cap—and claimed that his early investment in silver at age 18 turned out to be one of his best decisions. The advice is framed as a safeguard against the expected loss of purchasing power in fiat currencies such as the dollar and euro.
