Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, claims a global cash crunch is the main driver behind the ongoing market downturn. Despite the turbulence, he says he is holding onto his Bitcoin and gold, with plans to buy more once the market stabilizes.
Global Cash Shortage Behind Market Turmoil
Kiyosaki took to X to explain his view that the sharp decline in financial markets is not random but caused by an acute shortage of liquidity worldwide. “The everything bubbles are bursting,” he wrote, emphasizing that governments and institutions are scrambling for cash, which is fueling panic selling across multiple asset classes.
He added that most market participants are selling not out of conviction but due to immediate liquidity needs. According to Kiyosaki, the real risk lies in the system’s growing cash constraints rather than traditional market fundamentals, a scenario he believes will shape global investing strategies for years to come.
The Big Print: Money Creation Ahead
Referencing Lawrence Lepard’s analysis, Kiyosaki predicted an era he calls “The Big Print,” where governments will unleash large-scale money creation to cover mounting debt burdens. “The Big Print is about to begin,” he said, adding that this will inevitably increase the value of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum as fiat currencies weaken.
He warned that those who do require cash might consider selective asset sales, but he stressed that long-term investors should stay the course. In his view, the coming liquidity injections will create buying opportunities for savvy investors who can withstand short-term volatility.
Bitcoin Remains a Core Bet
Despite the market slump, Kiyosaki reaffirmed his confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term potential. “I will buy more Bitcoin when the crash is over,” he wrote, citing the cryptocurrency’s fixed 21 million supply as a hedge against inflation and fiat devaluation.
He also encouraged followers to build knowledge communities such as “Cashflow Clubs,” modeled after his board game, to learn financial strategies collectively. These clubs, he argues, can help investors make more informed decisions and avoid panic-driven mistakes during volatile periods.
Crypto Sentiment and Market Fear
Crypto influencer Mister Crypto highlighted that the Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index recently dropped to 16, entering “Extreme Fear” territory. Historically, such levels have often signaled potential buying opportunities for patient investors.
However, experts caution that sentiment-driven signals are not guarantees. While some traders see extreme fear as a floor, the market may still experience further declines before stabilizing, underscoring the need for careful risk management.
Santiment: Bottom Signals Remain Unclear
Analytics firm Santiment advised caution as online discussions suggest Bitcoin may have already bottomed. Historically, Kiyosaki noted, market lows tend to occur when most investors expect prices to fall further—not when optimism starts to build prematurely.
Bitcoin briefly dipped below $95,000 on Friday, triggering speculation that the worst was over. Santiment’s data, however, indicates that true market bottoms often emerge when fear and pessimism dominate, reinforcing Kiyosaki’s stance that patient, informed investors stand to benefit the most.
