Market Overview

Bitcoin remained weak against gold and silver as Robert Kiyosaki repeated his hard-asset stance. The Rich Dad, Poor Dad author stated he does not care if Bitcoin, gold, or silver rises or falls. He argued that rising U.S. national debt and a declining dollar make short-term trading pointless, preferring instead steady accumulation and ignoring daily volatility.

Q: Do I care when the price of gold silver or Bitcoin go up or down?
A: No. I do not care.
Q: Why Not?
A: Because I know the national debt of the US keeps going up and the purchasing power of the US dollar keeps going down.

Kiyosaki argued that long-term policy mistakes were made at the Federal Reserve, the Treasury, and the U.S. government. He said these institutions keep damaging confidence in fiat money. He urged his followers to keep buying Bitcoin, gold, and silver through market swings, framing the strategy as protection against monetary dilution.

Silver Outperformance and $200 Target

Kiyosaki was most aggressive in his view on silver, calling it better than gold because it works as money and as an industrial metal. He said silver supports technology production in the modern era, comparing its role today to iron’s role during the industrial age.

Pointy to silver’s long-term price trajectory: silver traded near $5 per ounce in 1990 and around $92 per ounce in 2026. Kiyosaki predicted silver could reach $200 per ounce before the end of 2026, though he acknowledged the call could be wrong.

Crypto Social Buzz Overtakes Precious Metals

Social data showed that attention moved between metals and crypto in waves. Research data highlighted that gold mentions surged first between January 9 and January 15, followed by silver mentions jumping between December 26 and December 28. Crypto mentions then spiked sharply between January 18 and January 21, with crypto discussion volume now overtaking both gold and silver.

Over the past year, price returns reflected this shift:

• Silver: +214%
• Gold: +77%
• Bitcoin: -16%

The gap widened the narrative that metals are winning the safety trade, though it also showed that Bitcoin has not tracked the same macro demand.

Bond Stress and the Next Crypto Turn

Analyst Merlijn The Trader argued that the “old world” remains in control, with gold and silver making moves that Bitcoin has not matched. He suggested the shift may come after the macro shock settles, linking the potential rotation to bond market stress. He claimed that bond stress can force liquidity relief, drive yield suppression, and contribute to currency debasement—a combination that could fuel the next crypto turn.

Another analyst noted that gold added $3.9 trillion to its market capitalization in 2026, while silver added $1.3 trillion. With the entire crypto market valued at approximately $3 trillion, the question arose: “Is the crypto market undervalued now?”

Bitcoin Weakness and Network Signals

Bitcoin remained the weak point in the crypto market, continuing to trade below the key $90,000 level. Network growth reached its lowest point since the 2022 capitulation, with liquidity falling sharply. A similar setup in 2022 preceded a long consolidation before a liquidity bottom and a strong bull run, suggesting potential parallels for current market dynamics.
