Kiyosaki: 2025 Stock Market Crash

• Robert Kiyosaki predicts a major stock market crash in 2025, calling it the “Greater Depression.”
• He has increased his holdings in gold, silver, and Bitcoin to hedge against economic instability.
• Kiyosaki criticizes traditional education and urges financial literacy for survival in the coming downturn.

Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, has reaffirmed his long-standing prediction of a major economic crisis, warning that 2025 could bring the biggest stock market crash in history. 

In a recent statement on X, he revealed that he has been increasing his gold and Bitcoin holdings to protect against what he calls the “Greater Depression.”

Kiyosaki first published his market crash prediction in 2014 in Rich Dad’s Prophecy. He believes that economic warning signs, such as rising debt levels, inflation, and unstable markets, confirm his forecast. “Unfortunately, that prophecy is coming true,” he said.

Why Gold and Bitcoin?

The financial educator has been vocal about his distrust of traditional investments like stocks and bonds. Instead, he advocates for gold, silver, and Bitcoin as safe-haven assets in times of economic turmoil.

“For years, I have been advising people to do what I do—buy gold, silver, and Bitcoin,” Kiyosaki stated. He argues that these assets hold intrinsic value and are less susceptible to inflation and economic downturns.

Gold has historically been a reliable store of value, while Bitcoin, often referred to as “digital gold,” has gained traction as an alternative asset class. 

With increasing institutional adoption and a capped supply of 21 million coins, Kiyosaki is seeing Bitcoin as a strong hedge against fiat currency devaluation.

Financial IQ Trumps Formal Education, Says Kiyosaki

Beyond investments, Kiyosaki stresses the importance of financial education over formal schooling. He criticizes universities for failing to teach students about money management, instead pushing them into jobs and debt.

“The problem is, most college graduates leave school deeply in debt and have no idea what a financial statement is,” he said. He urges individuals to learn financial literacy, start businesses, and invest wisely rather than relying solely on employment for financial security.

Opportunities Emerge from Economic Chaos

Even with his grim outlook, Kiyosaki sees opportunities for those who are financially prepared. He believes that real estate prices may drop significantly, creating opportunities for investors to acquire properties at lower prices. 

However, he warns that not all real estate will be profitable, citing office buildings and small retail spaces as risky investments. He also encourages individuals to start businesses that can thrive in a recession, such as agriculture or essential services.
