‘I hope Bitcoin crashes’ – Why Robert Kiyosaki wants a BTC spiral

• Robert Kiyosaki views Bitcoin dips as buying opportunities, not reasons to panic.
• 93.63% of Bitcoin holders remain in profit despite short-term volatility.

Bitcoin [BTC] is currently navigating a turbulent market phase, as the asset traded at approximately $108,192.40 following a slight 0.12% dip over the past 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap.

However, despite the price fluctuations and resistance near the $109,500 level, broader community sentiment remains decidedly optimistic.

Bitcoin’s bullish dynamics across metrics

Data from CoinMarketCap revealed that 82% of users are bullish on Bitcoin, while only 18% expect bearish outcomes.

Supporting this sentiment, the Crypto Fear and Greed Index at press time was reading 66, indicating a strong “greed” phase, which typically signals investor confidence and buying interest.

On top of that, the Altcoin Season Index also pointed to this being a dominant “Bitcoin season,” where BTC is outperforming most major altcoins. 

However, not everyone is convinced by the bullish sentiment.

Why is Robert Kiyosaki hoping for a crash, then?

This is because there has been increasing chatter about a potential BTC retracement to the $90,000 range.

This is especially true as the asset has repeatedly failed to break past key resistance zones and trading volumes remain relatively subdued.

Hence, to shut down the chatter, “Rich Dad Poor Dad” author and financial educator Robert Kiyosaki weighed in with a cautionary message for speculators betting on a sudden Bitcoin collapse.

Taking to X, he noted, 

“I hope Bitcoin crashes.”

With this post, he pushed back against the bearish sentiment, suggesting that such crash warnings are merely psychological tactics designed to unsettle inexperienced investors.

Rather than shying away, Kiyosaki welcomed the possibility of a significant dip, stating that he hopes for lower prices so he can accumulate more Bitcoin before its next upward move.

He argued that crash narratives often reflect short-term speculation rather than long-term conviction.

The community stood in support of Kiyosaki

In response to his tweet, many in the crypto community echoed his sentiment as noted by an X user — Finance guy, who said, 

“Losers keep calling for a stock market crash. They have been predicting a crash for decades and have been wrong every time.”

Adding to the fray, another user added, 

“Love the sentiment, Robert. Bitcoin’s fundamentals are stronger than ever, and a crash would just be a buying opportunity for those of us who believe in its long-term potential. The haters will keep hating, but we’ll keep on accumulating.”

What are on-chain metrics hinting at?

Backing this confidence was on-chain data from IntoTheBlock.

At press time, a staggering 93.63% of Bitcoin holders were “In The Money”, meaning their holdings were above their acquisition price. Only 0.72% were “Out of The Money” while 5.65% of addresses sat “At The Money”—near breakeven.

Such metrics often signal market strength and an unwillingness to sell, reinforcing the bullish structure.

Hayes takes the contrarian view

Still, not all forecasts are rosy.

Crypto entrepreneur and former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes recently warned that despite Bitcoin briefly topping $110,000, a retest of the $90,000 level remains possible later this year.

He pointed to the potential macroeconomic ripple effects of President Trump’s recently introduced “Big Beautiful Bill.”

It proposes tax cuts and a raised debt ceiling, moves that could spur more borrowing from the U.S. Treasury and ultimately add market pressure.

Bitcoin’s way ahead

Yet, despite conflicting market signals, Kiyosaki remains firmly optimistic about Bitcoin’s long-term prospects, viewing price drops as prime opportunities for strategic accumulation.

In the past, too, he had put it best when he said,

“Will Bitcoin hit $ 1 million a coin? I do not know. What I do know is….I will be saying, ‘I will wish I had bought more at $107,000. At a $107,000 Bitcoin was priceless.’”
