Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, has sparked debate after warning that the Bitcoin “bubble” may soon burst. In a recent statement, Kiyosaki said that bubbles across markets are about to “start busting,” and predicted that gold, silver, and Bitcoin would all drop. He added that he plans to buy more once the crash hits.

The warning contrasts sharply with his earlier enthusiasm. Just last week, Kiyosaki celebrated Bitcoin’s new all-time high above $120,000 and took aim at those who failed to invest. At the time, he advised caution, stating, “Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered,” and hinted he would pause further buying until economic trends became clearer.

This isn’t the first time Kiyosaki has issued conflicting messages. Earlier this month, he slammed “clickbait losers” for spreading Bitcoin crash fears, suggesting they were only trying to scare off speculators.

Critics have pointed out that Kiyosaki has frequently predicted market crashes inaccurately. Market newsletter Brew Markets highlighted his history of incorrect forecasts. Meanwhile, concerns about corporate Bitcoin treasuries collapsing in a downturn have raised alarms, though analysts like Joe Burnett argue that these firms aren’t chasing hype—they’re converting capital directly into what they believe is sound money.

Apollo Capital’s Henrik Andersson urged investors to rely on research over influencer opinions. Others in the crypto community, like NFT creator “Cape,” noted that Bitcoin has been called a bubble every year since it launched.

Bitcoin typically follows a four-year market cycle, and if history repeats, 2025 could mark the next major price peak. Some analysts predict Bitcoin could hit between $130,000 and $200,000 by year-end, while technical indicators still suggest the top is far off.
