### Robert Kiyosaki's Latest Warning: The "End of the US Dollar" and the Surge in Gold, Silver, and Crypto
Robert Kiyosaki, the bestselling author of *Rich Dad Poor Dad*, has long been a vocal critic of traditional fiat currencies and the U.S. Federal Reserve's policies. In a post on X dated October 8, 2025, he escalated his warnings, questioning whether the "END of US Dollar?" is imminent and urging followers to shift away from dollar savings. He attributes this potential collapse to America's debt-fueled economy, endless money printing by the Fed to "fix" crises, and a system built on what he calls "fake dollars." Kiyosaki argues that inflation and devaluation are eroding the dollar's value—it's down about 10% year-to-date in 2025, marking its worst performance in over four decades—making cash holders "losers" in the long run.
#### Key Quote from Kiyosaki's X Post
> “END of US Dollar? Adding to my gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum stack. Savers of US dollars are losers. Be a winner. Take care.”
This isn't a new stance for Kiyosaki; he's been predicting a "giant crash" and the death of fiat money for years, often tying it to global events like BRICS meetings or U.S. policy shifts. However, his October 2025 statement comes amid heightened market volatility, record stock highs masking underlying weaknesses, and Fed signals of potential rate cuts that could further fuel inflation.
#### His Investment Recommendations: Beyond Just Gold
Kiyosaki isn't putting all his eggs in the "yellow metal" basket. He advocates for a diversified "stack" of hard assets to protect wealth during what he sees as an impending economic downturn, possibly a "Greater Depression." Specifically, he recommends:
- **Gold**: As a timeless store of value, especially physical or tokenized forms.
- **Silver**: For its industrial demand and affordability as an entry point.
- **Bitcoin (BTC)**: The "people's money" and a hedge against fiat failure.
- **Ethereum (ETH)**: For its utility in decentralized finance and smart contracts.
He emphasizes these as "real, safe, and lasting assets" that will appreciate as money flows out of crashing stocks, bonds, and fiat currencies. Notably, he recently highlighted Warren Buffett's rare praise for gold and silver as a "warning sign" of trouble ahead.
#### Bold Price Predictions for 2025
Kiyosaki has shared aggressive forecasts for these assets by the end of 2025, based on his view of accelerating dollar weakness:
| Asset | Predicted Price Target | Context |
|---------|-----------------------------------------|---------|
| **Gold** | $5,000–$25,000 per ounce | Surge driven by safe-haven demand; recently hit $4,000+ briefly. |
| **Silver** | $500 per ounce | Industrial uses + monetary hedge; poised for outsized gains. |
| **Bitcoin** | $500,000–$1 million | Institutional adoption; could hit $150,000–$200,000 sooner per some allies like Michael Saylor. |
| **Ethereum** | Not specified, but bundled with BTC as "future currency" | Trading near $4,500 amid broader crypto volatility. |
These targets reflect his belief in a massive wealth transfer to alternatives as the dollar falters. As of late October 2025, gold has indeed risen sharply, with physical bars topping $4,000/oz and gold-linked ETFs seeing record inflows, while Bitcoin hovers around $121,000 after peaking above $126,000.
#### The "Rise and Fall" Angle: Gold's Volatility Amid Broader Trends
While Kiyosaki focuses on gold's long-term rise as a dollar antidote, the metal isn't immune to short-term dips—hence the "fall" in the query's title, likely nodding to recent pullbacks after its $4,000 high. He sees these as buying opportunities, not reversals, especially with tokenized gold assets surpassing $3 billion in market cap and gold stocks on a historic rally. In contrast, the U.S. dollar index has rebounded to its strongest since early August, buoyed by claims of "virtually no inflation" from figures like President Trump, though Fed officials remain wary.
Kiyosaki's advice boils down to action: Ditch dollar hoarding, stack real assets, and educate yourself via sources like YouTube (he often shouts out "real teachers"). Whether his doomsday scenario plays out remains debated—critics call it fearmongering—but with global debt at all-time highs and crypto's institutional embrace, his warnings have gained fresh traction in 2025. If you're considering his playbook, remember: Past predictions (like silver at $100–$500 since 2022) have been directionally right but timing-off. Always DYOR.
Kiyosaki has long argued that hard assets like gold and silver, as well as decentralised digital currencies, can serve as protection against inflation and currency depreciation. While his comments often spark conversation among investors, analysts continue to caution that short-term price movements in both precious metals and cryptocurrencies remain driven by broader market and policy shifts rather than sentiment alone.
