Finance author Robert Kiyosaki — best known for his bestseller Rich Dad Poor Dad- has once again shaken the financial world with his recent viral post on November 1, 2025.
He says that – warning of a “massive crash” that he says could wipe out millions of investors.
MASSIVE CRASH BEGININING: Millions will be wiped out. Protect yourself. Silver, gold, Bitcoin, Ethereum investors will protect you.

Take care
In his tweet, Kiyosaki recommended people to protect themselves through a few popular assets – the named he mentioned were silver, gold, Bitcoin, and Ethereum. It starts an intense debate across global markets and finance forums.
While some ignored or overlooked it as another alarmist prediction or just a random quote but most longtime followers recognised it as part of his consistent message over the past 25 years.
He means that paper money, fake assets, and financial illusions are collapsing over time, and only real, tangible assets will survive for longer.
From “Fake Assets” to “Real Money”
Kiyosaki’s viral tweet didn’t appear from nowhere. It’s rooted in his belief that modern economies are built on “fake assets” he mostly said in few forums, podcasts, books, and more — wealth that exists only on paper and depends on government policy rather than intrinsic value.
| Fake Asset | Why Kiyosaki Rejects It |
|---|---|
| Cash / Fiat Currency | Can be printed anytime; inflation steals purchasing power. |
| Stocks & Mutual Funds | Rise and fall with central-bank liquidity — not real productivity. |
| Bonds | Promise “safety” but lose value as interest rates and inflation rise. |
| Bank Deposits | Interest doesn’t match inflation; “safe money” quietly shrinks. |
His argument goes back to 1971, when U.S. President Richard Nixon ended the gold standard, removing the dollar’s backing by gold. Kiyosaki calls that event the start of “fake money” — a system where governments can print at will, fueling bubbles, debt, and inequality.
“Since Nixon took the dollar off gold, cash became trash,” he repeats in speeches.
Why His Tweet Names Gold, Silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum
In Kiyosaki’s framework, those four assets represent real value: they are finite, independent, and hard to counterfeit.
He groups them as modern stores of wealth that resist government manipulation.
| Real Asset | Core Advantage |
|---|---|
| Gold | Timeless store of value; used for thousands of years. |
| Silver | Industrial use + precious-metal hedge; more affordable. |
| Bitcoin | Digital scarcity — only 21 million coins will ever exist. |
| Ethereum | Infrastructure for decentralized finance; productive ecosystem. |

EaseMoney Insight
Kiyosaki’s tweet fits neatly into his lifelong philosophy: “Don’t trust paper. Trust reality.”
He warns that when money is created out of debt, market crashes are not accidents — they’re resets.
Still, financial experts caution that his tone can be overly dramatic; diversification and risk management, not panic, remain key.
His core lesson, however, endures:
“The rich don’t save money — they save gold, silver, Bitcoin, or businesses that make money for them.”
In short, the viral tweet isn’t new fearmongering. It’s a 2025-style reminder of an old truth — fake assets fade, real value endures.
