Investor and bestselling author of “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”, Robert Kiyosaki, has once again made a bold statement about the future of financial markets. This time, his attention was drawn to a sudden shift in Warren Buffett’s position: after years of criticizing gold and silver, the legendary investor now openly supports them.
“I feel nauseous when I hear Buffett praising the benefits of gold and silver after years of mocking them. This suggests that the stock and bond markets are about to collapse,” Kiyosaki wrote.
He added that the current situation signals a potential depression in the equity markets:
“Perhaps it’s time to listen to Buffett and buy some gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum.”
Crypto as the Ultimate Financial Opportunity
Robert Kiyosaki has repeatedly criticized the Federal Reserve and the U.S. dollar, calling them “fake money.” He believes cryptocurrencies today offer investors a unique chance to preserve and grow wealth.
Back in December 2024, Kiyosaki emphasized that Bitcoin was created “to make everyone rich” and highlighted that “it’s never too late to buy cryptocurrency.” In his view, the first cryptocurrency opened a simple path to financial growth, while those who avoid it risk being left behind.
In March 2025, he stated that investors who sold Bitcoin during a market dip “missed the greatest opportunity of their lives.” Kiyosaki considers the fear of making a mistake the main reason for financial instability among most people.
Gold and Silver — Old but Reliable Assets
Despite his focus on crypto, Kiyosaki advises holding gold and silver as a hedge against a potential collapse of the traditional financial system. According to him, these assets can help protect capital during a recession or periods of hyperinflation.
He also pointed out concerns in the U.S. government bond market, where some auctions fail to attract buyers. According to Kiyosaki, the Federal Reserve is essentially “printing money” to support the market, which only increases risks for the dollar.
What Lies Ahead for Investors?
Kiyosaki predicts that Bitcoin could reach $1 million by 2035 and recommends combining crypto investments with gold and silver purchases. He believes this strategy provides maximum capital protection while allowing investors to take advantage of unique opportunities in the new financial landscape.
Interesting Fact: Analysts suggest that Buffett’s change of stance on gold could indeed serve as a “warning bell” for investors, indicating that traditional markets may be overheating, while alternative assets, including cryptocurrencies and precious metals, are becoming increasingly attractive.
