Robert Kiyosaki, the author behind the Rich Dad Poor Dad series, has renewed his support for Bitcoin, gold, and other hard assets as hedges against economic uncertainty. In his latest remarks, he projected that gold could reach $35,000 per ounce by 2035, and noted that the precious metal had already surged by over $100 in a single day to $4,300 per ounce.
Kiyosaki's latest call
Kiyosaki has long been a vocal advocate for alternative assets, and this week he doubled down on that stance. He didn't offer a detailed timeline for Bitcoin, but his gold projection stands out: $35,000 per ounce within the next nine years. That's a roughly 700% increase from current levels, if his numbers hold.
Gold's recent surge
The author pointed to a single-day jump of more than $100, pushing gold to $4,300 per ounce. That kind of move is rare for a traditionally stable asset, and Kiyosaki framed it as evidence that hard assets are gaining momentum. He didn't specify the exact date of the spike, but the context suggests it happened recently.
Why hard assets?
Kiyosaki has consistently argued that fiat currencies face long-term erosion due to central bank policies and government debt. He sees Bitcoin, gold, and silver as stores of value that can protect wealth when paper money loses purchasing power. His latest comments reinforce that view, though he offered no new specifics on Bitcoin's price path.
The timing of his remarks comes as global markets remain jittery over inflation and geopolitical tensions. Whether gold actually hits $35,000 by 2035 is anyone's guess, but Kiyosaki isn't backing away from his bet on hard assets.
