Robert Kiyosaki Warns ‘Biggest Crash in History’ Has Begun: What His 2025 Bitcoin, Ethereum, Gold and Silver Calls Mean After the $1.2 Trillion Crypto Meltdown

Published: November 30, 2025 – Global Markets

Why Robert Kiyosaki Is Suddenly Everywhere Again

On 29 November 2025, a fresh wave of coverage amplified Robert Kiyosaki’s long‑running warning that the “biggest crash in history” is no longer a distant threat but already underway.

A Moneywise column syndicated on Yahoo Finance highlighted Kiyosaki’s latest post on X (formerly Twitter), where he claims that while “millions will lose everything”, prepared investors could come out richer and should pivot into tangible and scarce assets rather than rely on traditional portfolios. ^[1]

That same day:

AInvest published a brief news note summarising Kiyosaki’s call to treat Bitcoin, Ethereum, gold and silver as safe‑haven assets and repeated his prediction that Bitcoin could reach $250,000 by 2026. ^[2]
BloomingBit ran an editor’s pick story titled “‘Rich Dad’ Who Sold Bitcoin, This Time ‘Buy Bitcoin and Ethereum’”, underscoring the backlash he faced for selling some BTC before telling followers to buy again. ^[3]
Multiple analyses from AInvest and others dissected November’s brutal crypto crash, during which Bitcoin plunged from above $120,000 to the low $80,000s, erasing more than $1 trillion in crypto market value. ^[4]

At the same time, mainstream business media from India to the US revisited Kiyosaki’s 2002 book “Rich Dad’s Prophecy”, arguing over whether his gloomy outlook is being vindicated—or exaggerated. ^[5]

Here’s what actually changed on 29 November 2025, and how his crash warnings intersect with the latest crypto and macro data.

What Kiyosaki Is Warning About Right Now

AI job losses, real estate stress and a global downturn

Across recent interviews and social posts, Kiyosaki argues that:

The crash he first described in “Rich Dad’s Prophecy” has “arrived,” not just in the US but also in Europe and Asia. ^[6]
Artificial intelligence (AI) will “wipe out jobs,” triggering a second‑order collapse in office and residential real estate as employment weakens and remote work reshapes demand. ^[7]
Conventional retirement vehicles such as 401(k)s and government bonds will not protect savers if currencies are debased and growth slows structurally. ^[8]

Several outlets—including The Economic Times, Moneycontrol, and Business Today—have echoed these themes, quoting Kiyosaki’s claim that the economy is entering its most dangerous phase in decades and that this is part of a broader “wealth transfer” from the unprepared to those holding hard assets. ^[9]

Silver, gold, Bitcoin and Ethereum: his “crash shopping list”

Kiyosaki’s market prescription has become remarkably consistent across November coverage:

Silver is repeatedly described as his “best and safest” pick for this environment. Several reports note that he sees it as underpriced, projecting a move from around $50 per ounce toward $70 soon and potentially $200 by 2026. ^[10]
Gold remains a core hedge. In recent posts he has cited a long‑term target near $27,000 per ounce, drawing on forecasts from macro strategist Jim Rickards and others. ^[11]
For Bitcoin, he has reiterated a $250,000 price target by 2026, positioning it as “digital gold” that could benefit if fiat currencies are diluted by money‑printing and emergency spending. ^[12]
Ethereum is framed as both a hedge and an income asset thanks to staking yields and smart‑contract utility, a point highlighted in AInvest’s Nov. 29 write‑up. ^[13]

In other words, his crash view is paired with a very specific asset allocation: out of “paper assets” and into precious metals plus blue‑chip crypto.

What Happened on 29 November 2025: The New Coverage

1. Yahoo Finance / Moneywise: “Millions will lose everything”

The Yahoo‑hosted Moneywise piece that went viral on 29 November pulls directly from Kiyosaki’s X posts. It emphasises two key claims: ^[14]

Scale of the downturn – He believes this is the largest crash in market history, amplified by AI disruption and property stress.
Asymmetry of outcomes – He argues that “millions will lose everything” financially, but that investors who reposition into real assets could see life‑changing gains.

The article then explores how he says he would prepare: by increasing allocations to silver, gold, Bitcoin and Ethereum, and cutting exposure to assets that depend heavily on stable employment, low rates and growing real estate values.

2. Economic Times: Why he’s urging Bitcoin, Ethereum, gold and silver now

A same‑day explainer in The Economic Times digs into the logic behind Kiyosaki’s picks. It notes that he ties his warning to: ^[15]

AI‑driven job losses reducing demand for office and residential property
Higher‑for‑longer interest rates pressuring highly leveraged real estate owners
A potential rise in money‑printing or stimulus if governments react to recession risks

Within that context, the piece says, he views:

Bitcoin and Ethereum as “modern” crisis hedges that can’t be debased
Gold and silver as time‑tested stores of value with constrained supply

The print edition is explicitly datelined Saturday, 29 November 2025, anchoring his crash narrative to this particular news cycle. ^[16]

3. BloomingBit: “Rich Dad” who sold Bitcoin, now says “buy Bitcoin and Ethereum”

BloomingBit’s Nov. 29 editor’s pick zeroes in on the apparent contradiction that captured social media: ^[17]

Not long ago, Kiyosaki sold a chunk of his Bitcoin—drawing criticism from hardcore crypto believers.
Yet his latest message, amplified on Nov. 29, is once again to buy Bitcoin and Ethereum as the world “collapses.”

The site notes the backlash but stresses that he has never said he was bearish on Bitcoin’s long‑term prospects—only that he wanted to redeploy some gains.

That nuance matters, because it connects directly to what he did with the proceeds.

From Selling Bitcoin to Doubling Down: How His Own Portfolio Changed

The $2.25 million Bitcoin sale—and where the money went

On 22 November 2025, coverage from CCN revealed that Kiyosaki had sold about $2.25 million worth of Bitcoin, acquired years ago around $6,000 per coin. ^[18]

Instead of dumping crypto out of fear, he reportedly:

Bought two surgery centers and
A billboard business, aiming to generate roughly $27,500 in monthly, largely tax‑advantaged income by next year. ^[19]

He also stressed that he remained long‑term bullish on Bitcoin, framing the sale as a way to convert volatile gains into cash‑flowing, real‑world assets, not as a rejection of crypto itself. ^[20]

OneSafe’s interpretation: a playbook for crypto‑heavy startups

A November 22 blog post from OneSafe, a crypto‑friendly fintech, uses Kiyosaki’s move as a case study in treasury management: ^[21]

Shift in focus: Turn windfall crypto gains into tangible, income‑generating assets that can cover operating costs when markets turn.
Volatility awareness: Recognise that major sales by high‑profile holders can spook markets, so communication and long‑term clarity matter.
Duality of beliefs: You can be bullish on Bitcoin hitting $250,000 by 2026 and still lock in profits today to de‑risk your business or portfolio.

For fintech founders and Web3 startups, OneSafe frames this as a discipline: diversification, cash flow, and education as pillars of surviving crypto’s boom‑bust cycles.

The Crypto Crash Backdrop: A $1.2 Trillion “Reset”, Not Just Doom

Kiyosaki’s warnings landed in the middle of one of crypto’s ugliest months on record.

The November 2025 plunge in numbers

According to coverage in Australian and global outlets:

Bitcoin fell from highs above $120,000 to the low $80,000s, wiping more than $1 trillion from global crypto markets. ^[22]
Analysts warned that prices could still retest the $70,000 region, especially if over‑leveraged retail traders continued to be liquidated on sharp downside moves. ^[23]

Even after a brief rebound toward the $90,000 mark, firms like AlphaNode characterised the mood as “cautious”, with key resistance still looming near $100,000. ^[24]

Binance: a $1.2T liquidity shock, not a 2022‑style collapse

A detailed Binance News explainer published on Nov. 29 argues that the crash was driven primarily by liquidity and macro expectations, not by structural flaws in crypto itself: ^[25]

Shifting expectations around Federal Reserve rate cuts triggered a broad de‑risking across assets.
Bitcoin’s fixed supply and lack of cash flows make it extremely sensitive to liquidity sentiment, so it reacted faster and more violently than equities.
Unlike prior blow‑ups (such as 2022), there were no cascading exchange failures or systemic insolvencies—leverage was flushed, but core infrastructure held.

An important twist: during the sell‑off, Bitcoin dominance fell instead of rising, suggesting investors moved out of crypto altogether rather than merely rotating from altcoins into BTC and ETH. Analysts interpret this as a sign that crypto is now deeply integrated into macro portfolios, where capital shifts between asset classes, not just within crypto. ^[26]

AInvest: capitulation today, possible 2026 bull run tomorrow

A series of AInvest articles published on 29 November 2025 frame the month’s volatility as both a warning and a potential opportunity: ^[27]

On‑chain metrics like short‑term holder SOPR point to capitulation, historically associated with cycle bottoms.
Bitcoin’s collapse from around $126,000 to near $80,500 is described as a “critical inflection point” for institutional investors deciding whether BTC is a buying opportunity or a systemic red flag.
One piece argues that November’s pain could lay the groundwork for a 2026 bull run, assuming central banks eventually tilt back toward easier policy and crypto ETFs continue drawing institutional flows.

In short: Kiyosaki sees the crash as the start of a historic downturn; many crypto analysts see it as a macro‑driven reset in a maturing market.

Is Bitcoin Really a Hedge in Kiyosaki’s “Biggest Crash”?

An in‑depth AInvest piece from Nov. 29, “Navigating the Kiyosaki Bear Case: Is Bitcoin a True Hedge in a Global Liquidity Crisis?”, grapples directly with that question: ^[28]

Academic studies (2020–2025) show mixed evidence: Bitcoin can behave like a safe haven over longer horizons, but its average volatility near 30–33% makes it unreliable during acute stress.
In the latest liquidity crunch, Bitcoin reportedly dropped about 30% while gold surged more than 50%, underscoring gold’s continuing role as the primary crisis hedge.
Yet, risk‑adjusted metrics (like the Sharpe and Sortino ratios) suggest Bitcoin has outperformed gold over multi‑year windows, and its low correlation with traditional assets adds real diversification value.

The article concludes that:

Gold remains the first‑line defensive asset in a crash.
Bitcoin is evolving into a secondary safe haven—useful for diversification and long‑term upside, but potentially brutal during the initial phase of any liquidity squeeze.
Kiyosaki’s own strategy—holding Bitcoin while redirecting some gains into cash‑flow businesses—is a practical example of hedging within his own bear case.

What Other Experts Are Saying as of 29 November

Mainstream markets: turbulence, not total collapse (so far)

The Times of India points out that as of 29 November 2025, the S&P 500 was down roughly 5% from recent highs—painful, but hardly evidence of the absolute wipe‑out Kiyosaki fears. ^[29]

At the same time, silver had already climbed to around $56.70 per ounce, up about 13% from the $50 level Kiyosaki cited on 23 November—suggesting that at least part of his metals thesis is, for now, tracking market reality. ^[30]

Crypto voices: fear as a buying signal

Other commentators echo part of Kiyosaki’s contrarian mindset while rejecting his doomsday tone:

A UTODAY piece on Nov. 29 notes that he describes Bitcoin and Ethereum as tools to “get rich while the world collapses,” framing them as both a hedge and an opportunity. ^[31]
A Coinspeaker article the same day reports that both Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) and Kiyosaki argue fear is the moment to accumulate crypto, not panic‑sell, as markets move into a “quiet equilibrium” after the shock. ^[32]

Institutional banks: cautiously bullish long‑term

In a separate but related development, JPMorgan analysts recently floated a scenario in which Bitcoin could reach $240,000, arguing that crypto’s integration into the macro system and ETF adoption are reshaping its long‑run potential. ^[33]

Their view underscores a key tension in the late‑November debate: is Bitcoin a leading indicator of systemic fragility—or a volatile bridge to a new, more digital financial system?

Key Lessons for Investors (Without the Hype)

Nothing in Kiyosaki’s comments—or this article—is personal financial advice. But the 29 November 2025 news flow does highlight several practical themes that everyday investors can think about with their own advisers:

Differentiate between market drama and data
- Headlines about the “biggest crash in history” sell, but as of late November, major stock indices have seen a correction, not a full‑scale collapse. ^[34]
Hard assets do matter—but timing and sizing are critical
- Silver and gold have rallied, and Bitcoin is still far above previous cycle peaks—even after the crash. That means they can fall further, too. ^[35]
Diversification beats hero bets
- Kiyosaki himself is not “all‑in” on Bitcoin; he sold part of his stack to buy healthcare and advertising businesses with recurring income. That’s a reminder that cash flow can be as important as upside. ^[36]
Leverage is often the real enemy
- November’s crypto wipe‑out hit over‑leveraged retail traders hardest, as liquidations cascaded when prices moved quickly. Managing position size, leverage and time horizon can matter more than any single price target. ^[37]
Scepticism is healthy—on both sides
- Kiyosaki has issued multiple dramatic crash calls over the years that did not materialise on his timeline, and some analysts argue he is overstating the risk again. ^[38]
- But dismissing systemic risks outright can be just as dangerous as overreacting to them.

The Bottom Line

As of 29 November 2025, the story is not simply “Kiyosaki vs. the world.” Instead, it looks like this:

Macro & crypto reality: A violent, liquidity‑driven crypto crash and growing pressure on rate‑sensitive assets like real estate—but not yet an across‑the‑board collapse in global stocks. ^[39]
Kiyosaki’s stance: The crash he predicted is here; silver, gold, Bitcoin and Ethereum are his preferred lifeboats; and he expects metals and crypto to post outsized gains by 2026. ^[40]
Analysts’ counterpoint: Many see November’s turmoil as a reset rather than an endgame—painful, but part of crypto’s evolution into a mainstream, institutionally held asset class. ^[41]

For investors, the crucial questions aren’t whether Kiyosaki is “right” or “wrong” in absolute terms, but:

How exposed am I to a severe downturn in jobs, real estate and high‑growth assets?
Do I understand why I own crypto, metals or equities—hedge, speculation, or long‑term growth?
And if the crash he fears doesn’t arrive on schedule, does my portfolio still make sense?

Those are the conversations financial advisers will likely be having with clients in the wake of the 29 November headlines.
