Is the world’s biggest economic crisis coming? The author of “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” hints at this.

Renowned financial writer and author of the book “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” Robert Kiyosaki, has once again warned investors worldwide. He has stated that this year will bring the biggest economic crisis in world history, which will completely wipe out the savings of the elderly and retired.

Posting on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Kiyosaki stated that the retirement of baby boomers will be over. Many will become homeless or have to live in their children’s homes. He claimed that he had already predicted this major crash in his book, “Rich Dad’s Prophecy,” and that the crisis will now be seen this year.

Invest in real assets, not savings
Robert Kiyosaki has always been against fiat currency. He says that “Savers are Losers,” meaning those who only save money are actually at a loss, because inflation gradually reduces the value of their savings.

He said that people should invest in real assets instead of saving money in bank accounts or cash. He cited gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum as the best options for this.

Kiyosaki specifically highlighted silver and Ethereum as the best investments, as he believes they are currently low in price and their demand could increase rapidly in the future. He said that silver and Ethereum not only hold value but are also used in industries.

Invest wisely
Kiyosaki advised people not to blindly believe what others say, but to understand the pros and cons of silver and Ethereum themselves, and then invest based on their financial understanding. He said that this is how you can increase your financial intelligence and become wealthy.

Kiyosaki’s Favorite Assets for a Rise in 2025
Interestingly, the assets Kiyosaki considers safe investments performed exceptionally well in 2025. According to Finbold Research, gold, silver, and bitcoin averaged a return of approximately 40% through September 2025. Silver prices rose 47.5% to $43.89 per ounce, gold rose 43%, and bitcoin gained 21%.

Kiyosaki says that whether a crash occurs this year or not, real assets like gold, silver, and crypto are the true insurance against the current global economic situation and declining trust in banks.
