Robert Kiyosaki says he would choose bitcoin over gold if forced to choose a single asset, citing its fixed supply, while projecting major upside for silver and warning that fiat currency is losing purchasing power.
Kiyosaki Favors Bitcoin Over Gold If Limited to One Asset
Rich Dad Poor Dad author and investor Robert Kiyosaki reiterated his preference for bitcoin this week on social media platform X, stating that if he were forced to choose only one asset, he would select bitcoin over gold, while remaining bullish on silver.
“I am often asked: Which is a better investment? Gold or bitcoin. Obviously, I would say both for diversification of assets and add silver,” the famous author said. However, he added:
“Yet if I had to choose only one asset, I would choose bitcoin.”
“Why? Because gold is, in theory, infinite,” he elaborated. “When the price of gold rises, more gold miners, which I am, will dig more. Bitcoin, by design, is limited to 21 million… a number which we are near now. That means, by design, no more bitcoin can be added after 21 million are mined. Brilliant. That means the price of bitcoin should only go up. Glad I bought my bitcoin early.” Kiyosaki has frequently pointed to bitcoin’s capped supply as a structural advantage, contrasting it with gold production, which can expand when prices increase.
The acclaimed author also underscored his positive outlook on silver and his skepticism toward fiat currency. In a separate post, he wrote: “Just purchased another 600 US Silver Eagles. Today’s spot is $82 an ounce. Still believe silver will reach $200 an ounce, or more, in 2026. The US dollar is in trouble. Savers of fiat currency (fake $) biggest losers.”
Reinforcing his long-standing criticism of government-issued money, he further urged followers:
“Stop working hard and saving fake fiat government money. Work for and save real gold, silver, real estate, bitcoin, and ethereum.”
Across his remarks, Kiyosaki framed scarce and tangible assets as potential hedges against inflation, monetary expansion, and declining purchasing power, reiterating a theme that has defined much of his recent market commentary.

BTC 15-minute drop of 1.75%: Derivatives liquidity deterioration and capital withdrawals in sync weigh on prices
From 01:30 to 01:45 (UTC) on 2026-04-12, the BTC price saw significant volatility within the 71,560.0–73,017.1 USDT range. The candlestick return rate recorded -1.75%, and the amplitude reached 2.00%. During this period, market attention increased, the trading atmosphere clearly became more cautious, and heightened volatility triggered short-term capital vigilance.
The primary driving force behind this unusual move is the continued deterioration of liquidity in the derivatives market: CME futures open interest fell to a 14-month low, and institutional arbitrage capital accelerated its withdrawal. Futures trading volume trended lower over the long run, and arbitrage basis compression caused the market to deepen in…
