Kiyosaki Blames Global Cash Shortage for Market Decline

Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has told his 2.8 million followers on X that he is holding on to his Bitcoin and gold despite the sharp downturn in global markets. He stated that the ongoing sell-off is the result of a worldwide shortage of cash. According to him, “everything bubbles are bursting” due to the liquidity squeeze rather than fear over fundamentals.

Kiyosaki argued that investors are selling assets because they urgently need cash, not because they have lost belief in long-term prospects. He warned that this pressure is likely to continue until central banks intervene.

Prediction of Massive Money Creation
The financial writer pointed to economist Lawrence Lepard’s view that governments will resort to large-scale money printing to manage rising debt levels. He called this expected phase “The Big Print”, suggesting it will push the value of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum sharply higher. Kiyosaki described traditional currency as “fake money” and believes it will lose value once this expansion begins.

He also advised people who genuinely require liquidity to reduce their asset holdings to avoid panic-driven decisions.

Plans to Buy More Bitcoin After the Crash
Kiyosaki reaffirmed his bullish stance on digital assets. He said he intends to buy additional Bitcoin after the current downturn ends. He highlighted Bitcoin’s fixed supply of 21 million units as a reason for long-term confidence.

Encouraging followers to learn financial skills, he promoted the formation of “Cashflow Clubs” based on his board game, saying communities that learn together are less likely to repeat common investment mistakes.

Extreme Fear in the Market as Bitcoin Drops
Crypto analyst Mister Crypto noted that the Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index has fallen to 16, which places it in the “Extreme Fear” category. Historically, such conditions have often aligned with potential accumulation phases, though not guaranteed.

Bitcoin recently slipped below 95,000 US dollars, a move that intensified concerns across social media and triggered discussions about possible market bottoms.

Analysts Warn Traders Against Premature Bottom Calls
Santiment, a blockchain analytics firm, urged caution among traders who believe the worst of the decline has finished. The firm explained that widespread declarations of a confirmed bottom often appear before further drops. According to its historical observations, market floors tend to form only when the majority expects prices to fall even further.

The firm stressed that increasing confidence during a downturn can create a false sense of stability, which may mislead inexperienced investors.
