Recently, Robert Kiyosaki has been speaking out again on X, with a very straightforward core message: inflation is accelerating, and ordinary investors need to prepare in advance.

The author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad" traces the current inflationary pressure back to 1974, when the U.S. dollar shifted to a petroleum-backed system, believing that this reliance led to increased geopolitical tensions, ultimately driving up energy costs. Rising energy costs directly impact food and fuel prices, spreading throughout the entire economy. His logic is: when energy is expensive, everything becomes expensive.

Looking at the data, the U.S. February inflation rate is indeed 2.4%, unchanged from January. Although this doesn't seem too high, Kiyosaki emphasizes that this inflationary pressure is persistent and structural — this is not short-term volatility, but a long-standing change that is now unfolding comprehensively.

He also mentioned a frequently overlooked historical turning point: the impact of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. This legislation shifted Americans from a guaranteed pension system to contribution plans like 401(k)s and IRAs, resulting in millions of retirees facing financial insecurity. Against the backdrop of record global debt and America's heaviest debt burden, this problem will become increasingly severe.

Kiyosaki’s advice remains consistent: accumulate true stores of value like gold, silver, and Bitcoin, while improving personal financial education. He believes that rising inflation, increasing debt burdens, and a weakening retirement system together could trigger widespread financial hardship, especially for the aging population.

Honestly, this view isn't new in the crypto community, but his repeated emphasis from a traditional financial educator’s perspective shows how strong this signal is. Kiyosaki has also warned multiple times this year that the market could face a significant correction, but he also sees this as an opportunity for prepared investors — he even plans to buy more Bitcoin during price dips.

Currently, BTC is around $75.8k. If his logic holds, there could be volatility ahead. If you're interested, you can follow BTC and other safe-haven assets on Gate to stay ahead and make your allocations.
