Robert Kiyosaki says price swings don’t matter as he keeps buying gold, silver and crypto
Robert Kiyosaki, the author of the global bestseller Rich Dad Poor Dad, has once again sparked debate on social media after saying he does not worry about short-term price movements in gold, silver or cryptocurrencies.
In a blunt post on X, Kiyosaki said volatility does not influence his investment decisions, as he remains focused on what he sees as bigger risks facing the global economy — rising US debt and the weakening purchasing power of the US dollar.
“I just keep buying more gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum and get richer,” Kiyosaki wrote, summarising his long-held investment philosophy.

Focus on debt, not daily prices
Kiyosaki, a long-time critic of fiat currencies and central banking systems, argued that short-term price fluctuations are irrelevant when viewed against long-term currency debasement. According to him, aggressive borrowing, money printing and policy decisions by institutions such as the US Federal Reserve and the Treasury pose a greater threat to wealth preservation than market volatility.
“Why worry about the price of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum, when the world has incompetent, highly educated PhDs controlling the Fed, the Treasury, and the US government?” he added in the post.
Precious metals hit record highs
Kiyosaki’s comments come at a time when precious metals are witnessing an extraordinary rally. Silver surged past the $100-an-ounce mark for the first time, extending gains driven by strong safe-haven demand and heavy retail buying across global markets.
Spot silver jumped nearly 7% to a record high of $102.87 an ounce and is up more than 40% so far this year, after prices more than doubled in 2025. Gold also continued its record run, trading close to the $5,000-an-ounce level in New York.
Market participants point to heightened geopolitical tensions, uncertainty around global trade, and concerns over the independence of the US Federal Reserve as key drivers supporting demand for gold and silver.
Kiyosaki’s long-standing view
Over the past two decades, Kiyosaki has consistently warned that excessive debt and money creation erode currency value, hurting savers and wage earners. He has repeatedly encouraged investors to focus on asset ownership — including precious metals and cryptocurrencies — rather than relying heavily on cash, bonds or salaried income.
While his views often divide opinion, Kiyosaki’s latest remarks have once again reignited discussion around whether hard assets and crypto offer better protection during periods of economic uncertainty.
