‘Invest in Real Assets’: Robert Kiyosaki Warns of Biggest Financial Crash This Year
The ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’ author says global markets are heading for a historic collapse and urges investors to move away from printed assets.
Robert Kiyosaki, the author of the bestselling financial guide Rich Dad, Poor Dad, has once again sounded the alarm on what he calls the “biggest crash in world history.” Taking to X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, the investor reiterated his long-standing warning against saving in fiat or “printed” assets and urged people to secure their wealth in tangible investments.
“REMINDER: I predicted the biggest crash in world history was coming in my book Rich Dad’s Prophecy. That crash will happen this year,” Kiyosaki wrote. “Baby Boom retirements are going to be wiped out. Many boomers will be homeless or living in their kids’ basement. Sad.”
Calling traditional savers “losers,” he said inflation was eroding the value of cash and printed assets. Instead, Kiyosaki advised investors to buy “real assets” such as gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum — assets that he believes have intrinsic or industrial value.

Baby Boom Retirements are going to be wiped out. Many boomers will be homeless or living in their kids basement. Sad.
REMiNDER: I have…
“For years I have been saying: save gold, silver, Bitcoin, and recently Ethereum. Today, I believe silver and Ethereum are the best because they are stores of value but more importantly, used in industry — and prices are low,” he wrote. Kiyosaki also encouraged readers to research both positive and critical views of these assets before investing, to “elevate their own financial intelligence.”
His comments come amid high volatility in global markets. Major cryptocurrencies plunged sharply after US President Donald Trump announced a 100% tariff on all critical software imports from China, escalating trade tensions. According to Bloomberg, over $19 billion in crypto positions were liquidated within 24 hours following the announcement. Bitcoin dropped more than 10% to below $110,000 before recovering slightly, while Ethereum fell 11.2% to $3,878. Other tokens such as XRP, Dogecoin, and ADA saw declines of up to 27%.
Trump’s move, which he said was in response to an “extremely hostile letter” from Beijing, has reignited fears of a renewed trade war — adding further uncertainty to already fragile financial markets.
