Robert Kiyosaki buys 1 more BTC, doubles down on bitcoin over gold
“Rich Dad, Poor Dad” author Robert Kiyosaki revealed he purchased one more bitcoin at $67,000, reiterating his belief that BTC is — or will eventually become — a better investment than gold.
Posting on X, Kiyosaki cited two main reasons for the buy. First, he warned of a coming wave of large-scale money printing if U.S. debt weakens the dollar and the Federal Reserve injects trillions in liquidity. Second, he pointed to bitcoin’s capped supply, noting that the network is approaching its maximum limit of 21 million coins.
Kiyosaki argued that once the final bitcoin is mined, the asset will become “better than gold.” However, due to Bitcoin’s built-in halving mechanism — which cuts mining rewards roughly every four years — the issuance of new BTC slows over time. Current estimates suggest the last bitcoin will not be mined until around 2140.
Some of Kiyosaki’s recent comments have drawn criticism over inconsistencies. Weeks ago, he said he would choose BTC over gold because of its fixed 21 million supply, without mentioning the final mining milestone. Earlier this year, he also claimed he stopped buying BTC at $6,000, despite previously stating he had accumulated more at prices above $100,000.
The discrepancies sparked backlash within the crypto community, though the investor has not publicly addressed the criticism.
