Robert Kiyosaki Predicts Meteoric Surge for Silver Amid Global Economic Instability
Best-selling author Robert Kiyosaki predicts a meteoric surge for silver, citing historical monetary shifts, industrial demand, and artificial price suppression.
Robert Kiyosaki, author of the legendary bestseller "Rich Dad Poor Dad," is once again stirring the financial world with a particularly firm prediction. After urging investors over the years to flee to gold and bitcoin to protect themselves from inflation, Kiyosaki is now highlighting the next asset expected to post a meteoric surge: silver metal. According to him, this is a resource that has experienced continuous price distortion and is now expected to follow gold, which has already begun moving upward.
The Historical Context and Gresham's Law
To explain the dramatic forecast, Kiyosaki harks back to 1965—the year the US government stopped minting coins made of real silver and transitioned to using copper and cheap metals.
He mentions "Gresham's Law" and notes that as soon as "bad" money enters the system, "good" money is hoarded and disappears from the market. The situation was further exacerbated in 1971 with the abolition of the dollar's peg to gold, leading the American currency to lose about 95% of its value against gold. "The dollar is not an asset," Kiyosaki decisively states, clarifying that it is merely a "promise."
According to him, monetary history—from ancient Rome to the Weimar Republic—proves that during a collapse, there is a fixed cyclicality. First, the flight is to gold, and after it becomes too expensive for the general public, demand shifts to silver as an accessible and cheaper alternative.
Industrial Demand and Market Manipulation
However, unlike gold, silver also possesses immense industrial and security value: it is required for the production of electronics, solar panels, and advanced weapon systems. According to Kiyosaki, "in every Tomahawk missile there are several pounds of silver." He even accuses major banks of artificially suppressing silver prices for decades in order to supply cheap raw materials to industry.
"The dollar is not an asset, it is a promise."
At the center of Kiyosaki's philosophy remains his famous iron rule: "Savers are losers." He warns that holding cash in the bank guarantees a continuous loss of value due to money printing and soaring inflation, emphasizing that smart investors focus exclusively on accumulating hard assets.
