Robert Kiyosaki, the best-selling author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, has once again sounded the alarm over a global economic collapse, predicting a crash that he says could be worse than the Great Depression of 1929. This is what he calls the unraveling of the “Everything Bubble” and that individual people should keep their cool but make smart, strategic moves to protect their wealth.
Kiyosaki warns: “The Everything Bubble is Bursting.”
On March 11, 2025, and on the site X (formerly Twitter), Kiyosaki wrote to his 2.4 million followers,
“The Everything Bubble is bursting. I fear this crash will be the worst in history.”
He says the global economy is finally paying the price for years of unsustainable monetary policy, low interest rates, and excessive debt accumulation.
According to Kiyosaki, Germany, Japan, and the United States are the economic engines of the modern world. Now, as these leading economies slow around the world, he says their struggles will unleash a wide-ranging financial recession. The effects will ripple beyond stock markets, he says, hitting real estate, bonds, and digital assets.
“This Crash Will Be Worse Than 1929.” Kiyosaki Writes
Making a historical analogy, Kiyosaki cautions that this upcoming decline may be more destructive than the stock market crash of 1929.
“This crash is going to be bigger than the 1929 Crash… A crash that led to the Great Depression,”
he said on X.
Despite the dire outlook, Kiyosaki insists people shouldn’t panic.
“It is normal to be disturbed and fearful. … Just don’t panic,”
He tells his audience. He wants people to be emotionally disciplined in these times, saying:
“Be stoic, which means keep your cool, take deep breaths, keep your eyes wide open and keep your mouth shut. While millions will get crushed… You don’t have to be one of them.”
He argues that disciplined, strategic thinking is essential to weathering economic storms and to seizing opportunities that they present.
And Here is Kiyosaki’s Investment Strategy: Bitcoin, Gold, and Silver
Kiyosaki has long been an advocate for investing in physical assets. The vast majority of the time, he reiterated his desire to use gold, silver, real estate, and Bitcoin as stores of value.
“I will continue buying real estate, gold, silver, and Bitcoin… on sale,”
he wrote.
These assets are a hedge against fiat currencies that he says are being devalued by former central banks’ overzealous money printing and expanding national debt. Kiyosaki specifically refers to Bitcoin as “people’s money” as opposed to “God’s money”—gold and silver.

Critics Raise Eyebrows After Kiyosaki’s Latest Prediction, But Not His Message
While Kiyosaki is known for his strong predictions, he has also faced criticism for often forecasting financial doom and gloom that has yet to come true. He has raised alarms of multiple collapses since 2011 that did not happen or were not as bad as feared.
But at least some of his core message concerning systemic risks—unsustainable debt, inflation, and economic mismanagement—resonates with many. His focus on personal empowerment through financial literacy and investing in alternative assets resonates with those suspicious of the traditional financial system.
In a 2020 interview on The Rich Dad Radio Show, Kiyosaki defended his ongoing warnings.
“Even if my timing is wrong, the problem is real,”
he said.
“The debt, the money printing, the recession—it’s coming. People need to prepare.”
Kiyosaki’s First Priority Will Always Be Financial Education
According to Kiyosaki, education is the best defense against economic uncertainty. He advocates for better money management, investing, and debt awareness.
“The best investment you can make is in your financial education,”
he frequently says.
He advocates for investing in cash flow assets, like rental properties, and highlights the importance of distinguishing good debt (debt that generates income) from bad debt (debt that siphons off resources).
Get Ready Without All the Fear
Kiyosaki’s advice is consistent: Prepare for financial turmoil, but don’t be driven by fear. Whether or not his prediction turns out to be accurate, his perspective on preparation, diversification, and education provides actionable tactics for protecting wealth.
He ends his latest post saying,
“Be stoic and be cool no matter how turbulent things get.”
