Kiyosaki points to mounting instability in the global financial system, citing rising inflation, excessive government debt, and increasing layoffs as clear warning signs. He argues that the rich are getting richer due to a financial system built on "fake money," which drives asset prices higher while making life more expensive for the poor and middle class. He has consistently maintained that fiat currency is being devalued, pushing essential goods and services out of reach for many.
Despite these alarming signals, Kiyosaki remains undeterred. Unlike traditional investors who might panic during a downturn, he sees a market crash as an opportunity. He has made it clear that he will not sell his Bitcoin, gold, or silver—assets he considers "real money." Instead, he plans to "back up the truck," meaning he intends to purchase more if prices drop significantly, urging others to reconsider their financial strategies amid increasing market volatility.
Billionaire investor Ray Dalio has also warned about a potential "debt death spiral," cautioning that unsustainable government borrowing could trigger a crisis if investors lose confidence. Dalio advocates for the U.S. to reduce its deficit to "3% of GDP" to prevent economic chaos.
