Kiyosaki Flags a Primary Ascent in Hard Assets
Robert Kiyosaki (@Therealkiyosaki), the author behind the bestselling personal finance book Rich Dad Poor Dad, has issued an urgent buy signal covering $BTC, $ETH, gold, silver, and oil. The call comes as gold trades near multi-thousand-dollar levels following one of its most turbulent years on record. Gold entered 2026 in spectacular fashion, surging to an all-time high of $5,595 per ounce on January 29, 2026, an extension of 2025's 60%-plus surge, itself the best annual performance since 1979. The metal has since pulled back sharply. Gold rose to $4,338.90 per ounce on June 15, 2026, still 28.21% higher than a year ago.
Kiyosaki characterises the current moment as the start of a primary ascent in real assets. He predicts gold will hit $35,000 per ounce one year after what he calls "the biggest bubble bust in history."His $35,000 target represents a roughly 680% increase from current prices, which would imply either a complete collapse in the US dollar or a hyperinflationary event.
Fiat Debasement at the Core of the Thesis
Kiyosaki has long argued that fiat currency debasement, fiscal deficits, and unsustainable debt levels will ultimately produce a global financial crisis that destroys paper assets and hyperinflates real ones. He maintains that cash is "fake money" and warns that conventional savers face systemic losses as that debasement accelerates. Kiyosaki has spent decades warning against what he calls "fake money" printed by central banks.
His latest signal covers a broad basket of hard assets. On the crypto side, Kiyosaki has previously set a $250,000 price target for $BTC and a $60,000 target for $ETH. He points to unresolved structural damage from 2008 and surging private credit exposure as likely triggers for a cascade failure.
Institutional forecasts are bullish on gold, though far more measured than Kiyosaki's. J.P. Morgan Global Research forecasts gold prices to average $6,000 per ounce by the final quarter of 2026, rising toward $6,300 per ounce by the end of 2027.The Wells Fargo Investment Institute has lifted its year-end 2026 gold target to $6,100 to $6,300 an ounce, reflecting strong central bank gold buying and policy uncertainty. Those targets, while bullish by historical standards, fall well short of Kiyosaki's longer-range call.
As always, Kiyosaki's forecasts are directional macro arguments rather than precise price guides. Investors should treat them as one perspective among many and conduct their own due diligence before acting.
