Author of Rich Dad Poor Dad
Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki has warned of a coming major stock market crash — a topic he’s been tackling since his 2013 book Rich Dad’s Prophecy. In a recent post on
The author and experienced investor posted on February 17 that the big crash is about to happen. The good news is that for those of you who heeded my rich dad’s warnings and prepared… the coming crash will make you richer than your dreams. For those who are unprepared, the coming crash will be their worst nightmare.
How to get rich from stock market crash?
Kiyosaki has predicted several times last year that the stock market is going to crash. His views stem from the belief that the modern financial system is a “bubble” built on counterfeit money, unsustainable debt, and imminent failure of the retirement system.
In a February 17 post, he expressed his joy at the timing of the stock market decline and reiterated his focus on “real assets.” He said he personally holds physical gold, silver and bitcoin, and plans to buy more bitcoin if prices fall.
He stressed that he avoids counterfeit gold, silver, or Bitcoin and sees the scarcity of assets like Bitcoin — which has a limit of 21 million coins — as a hedge against market volatility.

Bitcoin buying advice
He said in the post on X that I will buy more Bitcoin because people will panic and sell in the coming crash. This coming crash can make you richer than your dreams if you realize that a crash is the best time to become rich.
His comment comes when Bitcoin prices are trading 40 percent below their all-time peak of $127,000 in October. According to data cited by Bloomberg from CoinGecko, the value of the major crypto markets has declined by approximately $2 trillion over the same period.
He wrote that market crashes are precious assets that are ready to be sold. Kiyosaki encouraged investors to see an expected recession as an opportunity to accumulate real assets while others panic. His warning reflects his long-held view: an economic recession is not only necessary but also a money-making opportunity, if handled wisely.
