Rich Dad Author Touts Bitcoin as the Fast Track to Wealth—Even Pocket Change in BTC Could Reshape Futures

Robert Kiyosaki, the polarizing finance guru behind ’Rich Dad Poor Dad,’ just doubled down on Bitcoin—calling it the simplest wealth hack in existence. His latest provocation? Claiming a mere 0.01 BTC could pivot lives. Cue eye rolls from Wall Street boomers clutching their dividend stocks.

The self-made millionaire—no stranger to contrarian takes—frames Bitcoin as the ultimate equalizer in an era of rigged monetary systems. Whether you buy the hype or dismiss it as speculative mania, the numbers don’t lie: that fraction of a coin could buy a latte today… or a Lambo tomorrow. Maybe.

As traditional finance scrambles to regulate what it can’t comprehend, Kiyosaki’s bet cuts through the noise: decentralized assets aren’t just disrupting portfolios—they’re rewriting the rules. Just don’t tell your financial advisor.

Bitcoin is Approaching the ‘Banana Zone’

Kiyosaki warned that with only 2 million BTC left to be mined, the price is poised to enter what macro investor Raoul Pal calls the “Banana Zone” — a phase of explosive growth driven by scarcity and demand.

He advised followers not to be “yellow bananas,” but instead to open their eyes and minds by following thought leaders like Michael Saylor, Anthony Pompliano, and platforms like bitcoin Zella, which promote the long-term value of decentralized money.

I cannot believe how easy Bitcoin has made getting rich…so easy.

Why everyone is not buying and holding Bitcoin is beyond me.

Even .01 of a Bitcoin is going to be priceless in two years…. and maybe make you very rich.

Sure Bitcoin goes up and down….but so does real life.…

The comments came as Bitcoin traded around $109,600, rebounding after a brief dip linked to global trade tensions.

Prices stabilized following U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to delay a threatened 50% tariff on European Union goods, which offered short-term relief to financial markets, including digital assets.

Kiyosaki’s post adds to a growing list of statements he’s made over the years in support of Bitcoin.

On May 10, he criticized the U.S. Federal Reserve by quoting former Congressman RON Paul, who equated central bank interest rate controls with “price fixing” and likened them to Marxist-style economic intervention.

Echoing Paul’s views, Kiyosaki warned that fiat currencies and central banking mechanisms breed systemic dishonesty and undermine individual freedom.

He encouraged people to protect their wealth by holding decentralized, non-government assets such as Bitcoin, gold, and silver.

“Fake money leads to dishonest leaders and corruption in everyday life,” Kiyosaki wrote. “Get on your own decentralized gold, silver, and Bitcoin standard.”

Rich Dad Poor Dad Author Sees $1M Bitcoin by Next Decade

A longtime advocate of hard assets, Kiyosaki sees Bitcoin as a modern hedge against inflation and a tool for preserving wealth over time.

In his latest prediction, Kiyosaki said he “strongly believes” the Bitcoin price will reach $180,000 to $200,000 by the end of this year.

Over the next decade, he sees BTC at $1 million, Gold at $30,000 per ounce, and silver at $3,000.

Notably, Kiyosaki is not the only one expressing confidence in Bitcoin’s future.

As reported, Shunyet Jan, Head of Derivatives at Bybit, has projected that Bitcoin could reach $125,000 by the end of Q2 if current trends persist.

Last week, crypto analyst Scott Melker said he believes Bitcoin could surge to $250,000 by the end of 2025, driven by institutional demand and a maturing market structure.
