9:36 AM IST – Global markets are again talking about the future of money after a recent tweet by Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad. His tweet, shared December 17 this month, is still trending on Google even on December 20, keeping silver, inflation, and central banks in the spotlight.
What really happened?
In his X post, Kiyosaki warned that the world economy is moving toward another big shock. He pointed to recent US Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. It says they signal a return of quantitative easing (QE)—or, in his words, fresh money printing.
According to him, printing too much money makes everything expensive over time. People who are not prepared feel the pressure, while those holding real assets survive and even grow richer.
His advice stayed the same as always: Buy real gold, real silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum. Kiyosaki says – real and fake assets. Choose the real one.
What caught maximum attention was his bold claim that silver could touch $200 an ounce by 2026, compared to around $20 in 2024. He also said he bought more physical silver right after the last rate cut—not because he needed it, but because he does not trust how governments handle money.
Why is this trending on Google?
This post did not go viral by accident.
- First, markets are already tense due to inflation worries, global conflicts, and slow growth.
- Second, Kiyosaki is known for predicting crashes and questioning paper money.
- Last, silver is still seen as “affordable” compared to gold, which makes big claims around it spread faster.
That mix pushed people to search, read, and debate—keeping the topic trending.
Why silver matters so much in India
In India, silver is not just an investment product. It is part of daily life.
People buy silver for:
- Jewellery and long-term household savings
- Religious and traditional purposes
- Industrial use, including electronics and solar equipment
India is also one of the largest silver-consuming countries in the world, in the top 5, so global silver stories naturally attract local attention.
RBI’s big step: silver moves closer to gold
There is also an important policy angle for Indian readers.
The Reserve Bank of India has announced that from April 1, 2026, banks and NBFCs can offer loans against silver. This comes under the Lending Against Gold and Silver Collateral Directions 2025.
What this means in simple terms:
- Gold and silver will now follow one common lending rule
- A household can pledge up to 10 kg of silver jewellery
- Or 500 grams of silver coins to take a loan
This is a big change. For the first time, silver is being treated almost like gold in formal lending.
Our Bottom Line for Indian Investors
- Silver is getting attention globally and support locally, even book authors, motivational speakers such as Sandeep Maheshwari, and big media are also talking daily in 2025.
- RBI’s move improves usefulness, not just price appeal
- Silver prices can move fast, daily Up OR Down, so expect swings
- Think of silver as a support asset, not a shortcut to riches
Unlike pure hype stories, silver in India now has a real policy-backed role. Prices may rise or cool, but silver is clearly no longer on the sidelines.
It is back in the conversation—globally and in Indian homes.
