Author of 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' issues sharp warning: 'Heavy losses'

Concerns over inflation and the erosion of the dollar's purchasing power have reignited warnings from Robert Kiyosaki. The author of the bestseller 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' launched a sharp attack following the US Treasury's announcement on expanding the buyback program for government bonds, labeling the move as 'printing fake money' and quantitative easing (QE) in every sense.

Under the US Treasury's program, the volume of buybacks for long-term bonds (10 to 30 years) was doubled from at least $2 billion to $4 billion per operation. The move is intended to provide liquidity to the bond market, following a surge in 30-year bond yields to a 19-year high of 5.34%, before settling slightly to 5.184%.

Although the Treasury clarifies that the purchases are funded by existing debt proceeds and cash on hand—rather than by creating new money as the Federal Reserve does in classic quantitative easing—Kiyosaki sees this as a clear warning sign. According to him, the decline in the Dollar Index (DXY) is proof that inflation is expected to spike, and that those holding 'cash and fake assets will experience particularly heavy losses.'

Behind these warnings lies an unprecedented figure: the United States national debt has crossed the $40 trillion mark for the first time (standing at approximately $40.03 trillion). In response, Kiyosaki calls on investors to protect their wealth by moving into scarce assets, primarily Bitcoin, gold, silver, and select real estate. As part of his forecasts, he mentioned expectations for gold to reach $10,000 and silver to reach $200, while highlighting silver as his preferred choice.

According to him, the key difference between educated investors and others lies in the ability to identify assets that increase in value during inflation, and he reminded that the heaviest price is not financial education—but the loss suffered by those who miss the opportunities.
