As markets hit record highs, investors may feel optimistic. Yet, Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, questions the safety of traditional savings. Highlighting growing risks in conventional financial systems, Kiyosaki urges investors to shift toward tangible assets. So, what’s the future of the dollar, and why are alternative investments gaining traction?
Is the US Dollar Facing Its End?
In a recent X post, Kiyosaki sharply criticized the US dollar, expressing confidence in alternatives like cryptocurrencies, gold, and silver. “Is the US dollar doomed? I’m increasing my gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum holdings,” he stated, advocating for being a “winner” rather than a “saver” of dollars. For him, investing in real assets is essential over holding cash.
END of US Dollar?
Adding to my gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum stack.
Savers of US dollars are losers.
Be a winner.
Take care.

Critiques of the Federal Reserve
Kiyosaki has long condemned the Federal Reserve’s practice of printing money to address economic crises, arguing it exacerbates issues rather than resolving them. He views the US’s debt-driven economy as built on “fake dollars,” making it increasingly unstable. Instead of saving cash, he recommends gold, silver, and Bitcoin as secure, enduring assets during economic turbulence.
Market Predictions and Alerts
In June, Kiyosaki predicted a massive financial crash that could devastate millions of investors. He suggested that as markets decline, capital would flow into gold, silver, and Bitcoin. He also interpreted Warren Buffett’s recent praise for gold and silver as a signal of potential stock and bond market crashes, possibly even a depression. For 2025, he forecasts gold at $5,000, silver at $500, and Bitcoin between $500,000 and $1 million. In May, he predicted gold could hit $25,000.
Current Market Trends
Bitcoin recently peaked above $126,000 but is now hovering around $122,900. Ethereum, at $4,580, dropped over 3% in the last 24 hours. While Bitcoin’s rally slows, gold continues its ascent. On Monday, tokenized gold assets surpassed a $3 billion market cap, with physical gold briefly exceeding $4,000 per ounce for the first time, fueled by strong inflows into gold ETFs. Gold stocks are also experiencing a historic rally.
Market Highs Conceal a Weakening Dollar
According to The Kobeissi Letter, asset record highs stem from a weakening dollar, down about 10% year-to-date, marking its worst performance in over 40 years. Persistent inflation and anticipated rate cuts further erode trust in fiat currencies.
USD’s Attempt to Regain Strength
Conversely, the USD Index has reached its strongest level since early August. President Trump recently claimed the US is seeing “virtually no inflation” as markets hit records. However, some experts disagree. Several Fed officials remain cautious about inflation, and markets are pricing in additional rate cuts this year.
Kiyosaki’s warnings push investors toward alternatives, highlighting the fragile balance of markets. Shifting to tangible assets could be a prudent strategy in uncertain times.
