Robert Kiyosaki has a message for anyone still holding cash in a savings account: you are the biggest loser in the room, and you don't even know it yet.
The Rich Dad Poor Dad author posted on X warning that the U.S. Treasury's latest round of quantitative easing, the practice of printing new money to stimulate the economy, is about to make inflation the dominant financial story again.
His post hinted straight to his decades-old argument that financial ignorance is far more expensive than financial education.
"U.S. Treasury announces another round of QE (Quantatative Easing) aka printing fake $," he wrote on X.
Kiyosaki pointed to the Dollar Index, the DXY, which tracks the dollar's purchasing power against a basket of global currencies, as the signal most people aren't watching closely enough.

When the DXY falls, every dollar saved buys less. When the Treasury prints more money, the DXY tends to fall. The math, in his view, is not complicated.
"Savers of fake dollars are the biggest losers," he wrote, a version of an argument he has been making since the original publication of Rich Dad Poor Dad in 1997, one that has only gained urgency as U.S. national debt has crossed $37 trillion.
Kiyosaki's prescribed response is the same one he has recommended for years, now updated for the current environment: gold, silver, Bitcoin, and select real estate. In his framing, these are not speculative bets, they are rational responses to a monetary system that systematically punishes savers who park wealth in depreciating currency.
“Facts are educated investors who invest in assets that go up in value, such as gold, silver, Bitcoin, some real estate, get richer,” he wrote.
His Bitcoin inclusion is notable given the asset's recent weakness.
Bitcoin has struggled through one of its most difficult stretches in recent memory, down over 40% from its all-time high. Kiyosaki's endorsement doesn't waver based on short-term price action, his argument is structural, not cyclical.
The sharpest line in Kiyosaki's post wasn't about assets. It was about ignorance.
"Your greatest expense is not the time and money spent on your financial education. Your greatest expense is the money you do not make," he wrote, attributing the quote to his Rich Dad mentor.
For investors trying to navigate a market where gold is breaking out, Bitcoin is grinding through a bear phase, and the Fed's credibility is under debate, Kiyosaki's framework offers a blunt but consistent north star, own real assets, avoid paper ones.
