Robert Kiyosaki, author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad," challenges modern wealth-building dogma by emphasizing service over greed. While he’s known for bitcoin advocacy, his latest X post highlights "ultra-low-tech" assets like gold and silver—and a philosophy rooted in the "good Samaritan" principle. Meanwhile, crypto markets struggle despite recovering equities. We unpack Kiyosaki’s contrarian views, analyze the crypto downturn, and explore high-revenue protocols defying the bear market.

Kiyosaki’s Billionaire Critique: Greed vs. Service

Reacting to UBS data showing 2,900 billionaires now control $15.8 trillion (up from 2,700/$14T in 2024), Kiyosaki tweeted: "Simply put, there’s too much ‘What’s in it for me?’—that’s what rules the world." The irony? While criticizing wealth concentration, he admits making millions through "archaic" businesses: books and board games using traditional printing. "My wealth isn’t in apps or AI," he clarifies, "but in serving people." His portfolio mirrors this—heavy on physical gold/silver, though conspicuously omitting his well-documented Bitcoin holdings.

The “Primitive Technology” of Wealth Building

Kiyosaki’s core argument transcends assets: "Wealth isn’t about tech—whether it’s blockchain or 5,000-year-old metallurgy. It’s about a ‘primitive human technology’: how you serve others." He frames this through biblical imagery ("the good Samaritan") and a blunt equation: "More service = more effectiveness." This contrasts sharply with crypto culture’s "number go up" mentality. Yet as the BTCC team notes, "His physical-asset focus ignores how Bitcoin’s transparency could mitigate the greed he condemns."

Crypto’s Greed Paradox: Markets Bleed While Protocols Profit

Bitcoin ($BTC) and ethereum ($ETH) remain 40% below 2024 highs per CoinMarketCap data, puzzling investors amid stock market rallies. But dive deeper: revenue-generating protocols like Ethereum L2s and decentralized exchanges (DEXs) still pull $50M+ daily. "It’s a washout of speculation, not utility," observes a BTCC analyst. "The ‘greed’ Kiyosaki hates is exiting—serious builders remain."

Where’s Kiyosaki’s Bitcoin Advocacy?

Regular readers know Kiyosaki champions BTC (he’s predicted $500K/BTC by 2025). So why the omission? Speculation ranges from tactical (gold/silver appeal to older audiences) to philosophical. His 2023 interview hints at the latter: "Crypto’s problem isn’t tech—it’s whether holders use it to uplift or exploit."

Actionable Takeaways: Serving Your Way to Wealth
