"Rich Dad Poor Dad" author Robert Kiyosaki has likened holding Bitcoin, gold, and silver to purchasing car insurance, framing the assets as essential precautions against economic risk rather than pessimistic bets. Kiyosaki stated on X that accumulating these assets is a necessary hedge to protect wealth from potential financial instability. Kiyosaki emphasized his preference for "money the government cannot print," criticizing the Federal Reserve and government policies for eroding purchasing power through inflation and taxes. He continues to advocate for hard assets as a defense mechanism against monetary debasement and fiscal mismanagement.
