Renowned author Robert Kiyosaki, known for his famous book Rich Dad Poor Dad, has gained significant attention among crypto investors in recent years. With his strong interest in assets like Bitcoin, gold, and silver over traditional fiat currencies, Kiyosaki has attracted a growing following. His skepticism toward fiat money and endorsement of crypto assets has made him a notable figure in the space. Kiyosaki’s insights on financial markets and the future of these assets have become an important resource for many investors.
Kiyosaki’s Bold Bitcoin Prediction
Kiyosaki has long been bullish on Bitcoin and other valuable assets, but in recent weeks, he has warned of a major global market crash. In his latest prediction, Kiyosaki suggested that Bitcoin could drop to as low as $5,000, a forecast that has alarmed many investors. But what do these dire predictions really mean? In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Kiyosaki claimed that financial markets are on the brink of collapse, reminiscent of the 2008 Great Financial Crisis (GFC). He criticized central banks for printing trillions of “fake dollars” to stave off a global depression after the GFC.
Kiyosaki further stated that this intervention has created an “Everything Bubble” that is about to burst, which could cause all assets, including Bitcoin, gold, and silver, to plummet. His prediction includes the possibility of Bitcoin crashing to $5,000 but also the potential for it to reach $100,000 or even $250,000 in the future. According to Kiyosaki, this crash represents an opportunity for the prepared to get rich, urging his followers to “Keep it Super Simple” and prepare for the wealth-building chance ahead.
What Would Happen if Bitcoin Dropped to $5,000?
As the largest player in the crypto market, Bitcoin currently holds a market cap of around $1.3 trillion, representing over half of the total crypto market capitalization. With Bitcoin trading at approximately $65,701 at the time of writing, a drop to $5,000 would bring Bitcoin’s market cap down to $9.8 billion, representing a massive 92% loss. Such a drastic plunge could trigger a large-scale sell-off across the crypto market, with panic-stricken investors liquidating their assets.
Major companies like MicroStrategy and Tesla could face significant losses, and Bitcoin miners may be forced to halt operations due to unsustainable costs. A decline of this magnitude could have far-reaching consequences, impacting not only individual investors but also crypto exchanges and service providers. Liquidity issues and rising losses could drive some crypto exchanges into bankruptcy, potentially leading to tighter government regulations on crypto assets.
How Realistic is Kiyosaki’s Prediction?
For many, the idea of Bitcoin falling to $5,000 seems unimaginable, especially considering the growing institutional interest and government support for the crypto market in recent years. For example, both former U.S. President Donald Trump and current Vice President Kamala Harris have made positive statements about cryptocurrencies, which has helped boost confidence in the sector. However, the crypto market is notoriously volatile, and Bitcoin has seen major price crashes in the past.
In such a scenario, opportunistic investors could seize the chance to buy at lower prices, positioning themselves for future gains. Kiyosaki himself has framed this potential crash as a golden opportunity to build wealth, drawing comparisons to the 2008 market crisis, which he warned about in his book Rich Dad Poor Dad. This foresight has earned him the nickname “crash prophet” in some circles.
