Robert Kiyosaki, the renowned author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has revisited a prediction he made in 2013, which

anticipated the “biggest stock market crash in history” to occur in February 2025. Kiyosaki has been vocal about his concerns for traditional financial markets, stating that many financial tools are poised to decline. However, he continues to bet on Bitcoin, positioning it as a key asset in a turbulent financial landscape.

Kiyosaki explains Bitcoin’s rise using two fundamental economic concepts: Gresham’s Law and Metcalfe’s Law. According to Gresham’s Law, “bad money drives out good money,” meaning that when a currency depreciates due to inflation (like the U.S. dollar), people tend to seek out more stable forms of value—such as gold, silver, and Bitcoin. In this context, Kiyosaki argues that the U.S. dollar has become “bad money” due to inflation, while Bitcoin and other precious metals are “good money” that preserve value.

Kiyosaki also draws a comparison between Bitcoin’s growing network and successful global businesses like McDonald’s, citing Metcalfe’s Law. This law states that the value of a network is proportional to the square of the number of users. As Bitcoin’s global user base continues to expand, its value and utility increase, much like how the value of McDonald’s or any other successful business rises with a larger customer base. Kiyosaki believes that Bitcoin’s growing network, combined with its limited supply and decentralized nature, makes it a solid hedge against inflation and traditional financial instability.

Kiyosaki’s emphasis on Bitcoin highlights his belief in the long-term potential of digital assets, especially in an environment where traditional currencies are losing their purchasing power. While he remains cautious about the state of traditional markets, he sees Bitcoin as a powerful, inflation-resistant asset for the future.
