Rich Dad warns: Inflation, debt, and war have led the world into a "new depression," with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and gold as the only salvation.

Rich Dad Kiyosaki is bullish on crypto again—he believes the world is entering a “New Depression,” with uncontrolled sovereign debt and geopolitical conflicts driving up oil prices, accelerating the shrinkage of fiat purchasing power; BTC is projected at $750,000, and ETH at $95,000, with gold, silver, oil, and food also on his hedge list.

• Identifying six asset classes: from gold to ETH all included
• Not just making calls, he’s really buying
• For reference only: Rich Dad’s prediction record, with both bullish and bearish calls

On March 30, Robert Kiyosaki, author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” posted on social media that the world is entering what he calls a “New Depression”—with national debt expanding without limits and central banks continuously printing money, inflationary pressures will remain high for the long term, and those holding cash in dollars are quietly losing the battle to preserve wealth.

Another layer of pressure comes from war—Kiyosaki assesses that armed conflicts in the Middle East and other regions show no signs of ending anytime soon, and crude oil supply may be compressed at any moment; when energy prices remain high, inflation will snowball. He candidly states that now is a time when understanding where your money is and whether it can withstand currency depreciation is more critical than ever.

Identifying six asset classes: from gold to ETH all included

In light of this overall environment, Kiyosaki provides his answer: gold, silver, oil, food, and crypto assets Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). His logic remains consistent: focus on scarcity, resist fiat dilution. He believes that when governments continue to print money and major banks face troubles, these assets meet the conditions for preservation of value or even appreciation.

In terms of price predictions, Kiyosaki forecasts BTC at $750,000 (approximately NT$24 million) and ETH at $95,000, implying there is still several times to a dozen times room for both to grow from current market prices.

Not just making calls, he’s really buying

Notably, Rich Dad is not just making statements this time—he revealed that he has recently spent millions of dollars personally increasing his positions in oil wells, gold, silver, and Bitcoin. For him, these “real assets” are the most direct tools to combat inflation, rather than relying on stocks or savings.

He also warns that a significant global stock market crash could occur in 2026, stemming from unresolved issues left by the 2008 financial crisis: excessive leverage and systemic debts that have never truly been cleared.

For reference only: Rich Dad’s prediction record, with both bullish and bearish calls

However, readers should remain calm when considering Kiyosaki’s views. His past prediction record has been quite mixed: he has repeatedly called for Bitcoin to break $1 million but also warned within just two days that “BTC will soon break $100,000,” followed by another warning of a “possible drop to $60,000”; he has also claimed that the Bitcoin bubble will burst, suggesting to sell quickly, only to later announce that he was buying back in during the downturn.

This pattern of “calling bullish then bearish, bearish then bullish” appears repeatedly in his social media posts. Therefore, Kiyosaki’s statements are better suited as reference signals for macro sentiment rather than direct entry or exit cues. In a time when inflation and geopolitical uncertainties do exist, the logic of scarce assets is not without basis—but whether the price targets are credible still requires personal judgment.
