Robert Kiyosaki Urges Americans to Ditch ‘Fake Money’ for Bitcoin, Gold, and Silver

Kiyosaki: Fiat is “Fake Money”—Bitcoin, Gold & Silver Are the Real Hedge

Outspoken financial author Robert Kiyosaki is once again making headlines with his harsh critique of fiat currency, urging Americans to shift their wealth into Bitcoin, gold, and silver to protect against what he calls “central bank corruption.”

In a May 10 post on X, Kiyosaki echoed the libertarian warnings of former Congressman Ron Paul, claiming that central banks, like the U.S. Federal Reserve, engage in “price fixing” and are actively destroying individual wealth and financial freedom.

“Fake money leads to dishonest leaders and corruption in everyday life,” he wrote, urging the public to “fight back” by opting out of the centralized monetary system.

Kiyosaki’s Decentralized Investment Philosophy

Long an advocate for Austrian economics and monetary sovereignty, Kiyosaki has consistently criticized fiat currency for its inflationary nature and susceptibility to government manipulation. His core message: “Don’t work or save fake money.”

Instead, he recommends accumulating scarce, decentralized assets—gold, silver, and more recently, Bitcoin—as long-term hedges against inflation, systemic risk, and political instability.

Kiyosaki believes these assets are essential for generational wealth in an age of fiat debasement. In a prior April 18 forecast, he predicted:

• Bitcoin to reach $1 million by 2035

• Gold to hit $30,000 per ounce

• Silver to rise to $3,000 per coin

Bitcoin’s Institutional Backing Grows

Kiyosaki’s bold Bitcoin prediction aligns with other bullish views in the investment world:

• Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, reiterated in February 2025 her belief that Bitcoin could hit $1.5 million by 2030, citing increasing institutional adoption.

• In December 2024, Eric Trump, speaking at Bitcoin MENA in Abu Dhabi, projected Bitcoin hitting $1 million due to its built-in scarcity and global demand.
