Robert Kiyosaki, investor and the author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” often shares thoughts on the economy and personal finance on social media.
He regularly posts about gold, silver, and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.
But in a recent post, he made it clear that daily price movements don’t matter to him.
“Do I care when the price of gold, silver, or Bitcoin go up or down?” he wrote. “No. I do not care.”
The reason, according to Kiyosaki, is simple:
“I know the national debt of the US keeps going up, and the purchasing power of the US dollar keeps going down.”
Instead of trying to time the market or react to short-term price swings, Kiyosaki says he focuses on the bigger picture. He believes long-term economic fundamentals favor assets like gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum.
“Why worry about the price of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum, when the world has incompetent, highly educated PhD’s…like my poor dad…. Controlling the Fed, the Treasury, and US Government?” he asked.
His takeaway: “I just keep buying more gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum and get richer. Take care.”
Gold Hits Record Highs
Kiyosaki’s comments came just as gold hit a new all-time high.
On Monday, spot gold crossed $5,100 an ounce, gaining 2.4% before settling slightly lower at $5,086. U.S. gold futures also rose 2.1% to $5,087.
The recent rally reflects rising geopolitical tensions and global economic uncertainty.
According to HSBC, price increases were partly driven by “geoeconomics issues related to Greenland.”
These aren’t isolated concerns. Flashpoints in Venezuela and the Middle East are also weighing on investor sentiment, prompting more people to seek the safety of precious metals.
Silver has followed suit. On the same day, gold set a new record, and silver prices jumped 4.9% to $107.9 per ounce.
Union Bancaire Privée (UBP) noted that demand is being driven by both institutional and retail investors.
“We anticipate that gold should enjoy another strong year, reflecting ongoing central bank and retail investment demand, with a year-end target price of USD 5,200 per ounce,” UBP said.
Goldman Sachs Raises Forecast
According to CNBC, Goldman Sachs also expects gold to keep rising. The firm recently raised its year-end forecast for December 2026 to $5,400 per ounce, up from $4,900.
The bank noted that the demand base has expanded beyond traditional buyers.
Western ETF holdings have surged, and high-net-worth families are increasingly purchasing physical gold to hedge against economic risks.
“We assume that hedges of global macro policy risks remain stable as these perceived risks (e.g. fiscal sustainability) may not fully resolve in 2026,” Goldman said in a recent note.
Central banks are another major player. Goldman estimates that central banks are now buying around 60 tonnes of gold each month, far above the pre-2022 average of 17 tonnes.
Emerging-market central banks, in particular, continue to shift reserves into gold.
Kiyosaki’s Core Message
While analysts point to multiple global risk factors and financial market trends, Kiyosaki boils it down to a lack of trust in policymakers and long-term concerns about the dollar.
In his view, gold and crypto aren’t just investments; they’re a way to opt out of a financial system he believes is broken.
That perspective helps explain why he’s unfazed by volatility.
As he puts it: “Why worry?”
For Kiyosaki, the strategy is simple: keep buying hard assets he believes will hold value while the dollar loses it.
Take care, indeed.
