Would you listen to Kiyosaki and invest in Bitcoin, gold and silver βbefore itβs too lateβ? π₯΅
In recent months, the general feels in the financial world have been a mix of anxiety and uncertainty. Among the faces leading the conversation is one that every finance bro and even your grandpa knows - Robert Kiyosaki, the acclaimed author of 'Rich Dad Poor Dad'.
Known for his candid opinions on wealth and investment, Kiyosaki has been a vocal advocate for Bitcoin, gold, and silver as the go-to assets in these shaky times.
He views these assets as reliable stores of value, especially as traditional financial systems show signs of strain.
According to Kiyosaki, these assets offer some stability and security.
π Predicting a "Giant Crash"
Kiyosaki has not shied away from warning about a looming financial disaster, urging investors to consider gold, silver, and Bitcoin before it's too late.
His dire predictions, including a fall in the U.S. dollar's dominance, have resonated with many who are wary of the current economic trajectory.
Butβ¦ thereβs hope, according to Kiyosaki, especially for Bitcoin enthusiasts. He forecasts Bitcoin reaching an impressive $120,000 in the coming year.
This signals his strong belief in the crypto's potential despite the market's inherent volatility.
π Bitcoin as a Digital Gold
His support for Bitcoin stems from his view of it as the digital counterpart to gold.
He sees it as a modern way to preserve wealth, especially in economically challenging times.
His consistent recommendation of these assets highlights his investment philosophy focused on long-term wealth preservation.
πͺ Advice Amid Financial Crisis
The current global landscape, with threats of financial crises, has only solidified Kiyosaki's view. His advice to buy more gold, silver, and Bitcoin is rooted in his view that world leaders might be pushing for conditions that could destabilize economies further.
This perspective is shared in his recent advisories and adds to the growing concern about global financial health.
π A Legacy of Financial Wisdom
Kiyosaki's advocacy for these assets aligns with the principles he talks about in his groundbreaking book, 'Rich Dad Poor Dad'. Published in 1997, the book emphasizes financial literacy, independence, and wealth-building through investments.
His recent favours of Bitcoin, alongside traditional assets like gold and silver, show his adaptation of these principles to the modern financial landscape.

π¨ BAYC owner dodges fake Forbes scam, thanks to a banana!
A BAYC NFT owner, known as "Crumz", narrowly escaped a scam by an imposter posing as a Forbes journalist. The scammer, masquerading as real Forbes editor Robert LaFanco, contacted Crumz for a BAYC article interview.

Realizing the danger, Crumz stayed by his computer, foiling the scammer's attempt to steal his asset.
π Inferno Drainer shuts down after stealing $70M
Inferno Drainer, a notorious crypto wallet-draining kit, is shutting down after aiding in the theft of nearly $70 million in crypto this year. Gaining prominence in early 2023, Inferno Drainer became widely used following the closure of Monkey Drainer, another similar tool. Inferno Drainer took a 20% cut from the amounts stolen by users. Despite shutting down, the team behind Inferno Drainer will keep the necessary files and infrastructure active for a smooth transition to other services. Blockchain security firm CertiK highlighted Inferno Drainer as one of the most damaging phishing kits seen, with other providers like Pink Drainer and Angel Drainer still active in the space.
