‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ Author Reveals Big ‘Investor Secret’ About Bitcoin in 2026

Robert Kiyosaki, an investment expert and an advocate of financial education, widely known for his book “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” has stepped forth with an important message on his X account regarding financial assets.

While trashing traditional ones, such as U.S. Treasuries, he once again underscored the importance of gold and crypto.

Kiyosaki’s “investor secret”

The author of the “Rich Dad Poor Dad” book shared what he calls “an investor secret,” which is the ability to see the future that makes for a successful investor. Today, this is an easy job to do, he claims, and there are two reasons for it.

1. “The National Debt will only go up because governments will only keep printing fake money.”

This means that inflation will continue increasing and the value of the U.S. dollar will keep going down. Therefore, it is not worth saving them, Kiyosaki believes.

2. The continuous and escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. They will never end, Kiyosaki claims, and this will keep pushing the oil price up, adding to inflation.

Bitcoin and Ethereum are “safest investments” for 2026: Kiyosaki

Kiyosaki has a radical attitude toward conventional education, always stating that financial education is much more important than the classic education since the latter does not teach one to survive or get rich during financial crises. He dismisses having a job, saving dollars, pension programs and investing in traditional market tools, such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds and ETFs, as trash. Besides, dollars can be printed, and the national U.S. debt keeps growing, he stated.

Instead, Kiyosaki invests in physical gold and silver, as well as Bitcoin and Ethereum recently. He has named BTC and ETH among the “best safe investments” this year. The list also includes “real gold,” “real silver,” oil and food.

The biggest lie, he claims, is the safety of U.S. Treasury bonds.

Bitcoin price action

Over the past 24 hours, the world’s largest digital currency has managed to slightly pare its recent losses and grow by roughly 3%, reclaiming the $67,760 level. Over the weekend, it had declined from above $68,000 and traded in a range, reaching a local bottom of $65,790 per coin.

Bitcoin continues to decline in light of the escalating tensions in the Middle East and the consequential increase in oil prices.
