Robert Kiyosaki<\/a>, the author of the best-selling personal finance book Rich Dad Poor Dad<\/a>, has issued a stark warning to Americans and global investors: the financial collapse<\/a> he has long predicted is now underway.
In a recent public statement shared on social media, Kiyosaki pointed to several alarming trends\u2014including record-high credit card debt, surging US national debt, rising unemployment, and struggling retirement funds\u2014as signs that the United States is slipping into what he calls a \u201cGreater Depression.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe crash I warned of in Rich Dad\u2019s Prophecy is happening now,\u201d Kiyosaki wrote. \u201cMillions may be pushed into poverty. But those who take action could become very rich.\u201d
Investment advice: Gold, silver, bitcoin<\/span>
Kiyosaki reiterated his long-standing investment advice, encouraging people to purchase what he calls \u201creal assets\u201d: gold, silver, and Bitcoin. While critics have previously dismissed his repeated calls to buy these commodities, he insists that this strategy is more relevant than ever.
\u201cSome people complain that I repeat myself. But I will say it again\u2014buy gold, silver, and Bitcoin,\u201d he said. \u201cEven one Bitcoin, or a few ounces of silver, could transform your financial future.\u201d
The author predicts that by the year 2035, Bitcoin could surpass $1 million in value. He also believes gold could reach $30,000 per ounce, and silver may climb to $3,000 per coin.
Kiyosaki also raised concerns about the stability of pensions and retirement accounts, claiming that many are being mismanaged, underfunded, or \u201cstolen\u201d through policy and inflation.
\u201cPeople who relied on pensions or 401(k)s are watching them shrink. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve always said: don\u2019t depend on the system. Take control of your money,\u201d he stated.
He believes those who acted early\u2014by diversifying into non-traditional assets\u2014are currently weathering the storm, while others may soon face serious hardship.
Mindset and personal responsibility<\/span>
In addition to financial advice, Kiyosaki also emphasized the role of mindset in wealth building. Drawing on lessons from his personal upbringing and background, he claimed that the way people talk about money often determines their financial destiny.
\u201cPoor people are poor because they speak and think poor words\u2014like \u2018I can\u2019t afford it\u2019 or \u2018I\u2019ll wait.\u2019 Words become flesh,\u201d he said.
Kiyosaki ended his message with a call for preparation, education, and immediate action.
\u201cThis could be the opportunity of your lifetime\u2014if you act. Study, learn, create a plan, and move now. If you wait, it may be too late.\u201d
