Kiyosaki: The Two Laws That Keep People Poor The famous writer of Rich Dad Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki, is again sounding the alarm on what he sees as outdated attitudes to money. He tells us that individuals continue to be poor because they break what he calls the “two most important money laws.” Last week, Kiyosaki warned in an online announcement that fiat currency saving in dollars is no longer a safe wealth option. Instead, he advises investing in assets like gold, silver, and Bitcoin, which he views as being nearer to economic reality. Bitcoin and the Power of Networks Kiyosaki highlighted the importance of Metcalfe’s Law, which speaks about how network value increases exponentially with each new user. He mentioned profitable examples like FedEx and McDonald’s, compared to smaller, non-network businesses that cannot grow. “I invest in Bitcoin because it is a network. Most cryptos are not,” Kiyosaki stated. His message: don’t buy assets—invest in systems that appreciate with user adoption, because these are the true engines of long-term value. Why He Doesn’t Like the U.S. Dollar Kiyosaki reaffirmed his antipathy toward dollar savings, stating they’re “phony money.” Instead, he is a proponent of real and decentralized assets. His plan was guided by views from MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor, who also advocates for Bitcoin as a store of wealth popular among the rich. Bond Market Warnings and Price Forecasts Kiyosaki further sounded warning alarms on the American bond market, stating that a recent Federal Reserve auction had no outside buyers, allegedly forcing the Fed to buy $50 billion of bonds with “phony money.” In consequence, he predicted price booms: Gold: $25,000 Silver: $70 Bitcoin: $500,000 to $1 million These predictions capture his inference that fiat-based financial systems are imploding—and only physical, scarce assets will endure. Final Thoughts Kiyosaki’s warning isn’t new, but it’s becoming louder: stop saving in fiat, invest in networks, and follow the real laws of money—or risk staying broke.
