Financial author Robert Kiyosaki, best known for his book Rich Dad Poor Dad, has once again sparked discussion across the financial world with a new post urging followers to rethink their approach to wealth in what he calls the “new economy.”
‘Old Thinking vs. New Thinking’
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), Kiyosaki warned that the gap between the rich and poor is becoming a “Grand Canyon,” fueled by outdated financial mindsets. He argued that billions of people remain stuck in traditional systems that no longer create wealth, such as relying solely on jobs, saving in fiat currencies, and depending on retirement plans.

“Old Thinking vs New THinking”
GAP between rich and poor becomes:
GRAND CANYON between rich and poor.
Billions of people are struggling to:
1: “Make Ends Meet”
2: “Keep Up With Inflation.”
3: “Keep their Job”Old Thinkers:
1: Go back…— Robert Kiyosaki (@theRealKiyosaki) October 25, 2025
“Old thinkers,” Kiyosaki wrote, focus on working harder, saving “fake money,” and investing in traditional plans. “New thinkers,” by contrast, focus on starting businesses and saving in real assets such as gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum.
Ethereum Compared to Early Bitcoin
Kiyosaki highlighted Ethereum’s current price around $4,000, saying those who invest in ETH now could mirror the success of early Bitcoin adopters who bought BTC when it traded at the same price. He suggested that owning Ethereum at this stage represents a generational wealth opportunity, similar to buying Bitcoin before its exponential rise.
A Growing Wealth Divide
Kiyosaki emphasized that inflation and economic uncertainty are deepening the divide between “old thinkers” and “new thinkers.” He warned that those clinging to legacy financial strategies risk being left behind as technology, crypto assets, and entrepreneurship redefine the path to prosperity.
“Old thinkers will be left behind as the gap becomes the Grand Canyon,” he wrote. “Consider those ideas and choose which side of the gap you want to be on.”
Kiyosaki has long been a vocal supporter of Bitcoin and precious metals, viewing them as protection against currency debasement and what he calls “fake money” issued by central banks. His latest comments add Ethereum to that list, signaling growing confidence in the broader digital asset landscape as the next frontier for wealth creation.
