Financial author and entrepreneur Robert Kiyosaki, best known for Rich Dad Poor Dad, has reiterated his prediction of what he calls the “biggest crash in world history,” warning that it could unfold before the end of the year.
In a post shared with his 2.5 million followers on X, Kiyosaki cautioned that the coming downturn will devastate retirement savings and printed assets, particularly those tied to traditional fiat systems. “Baby Boom retirements are going to be wiped out,” he wrote, adding that many older investors could face severe financial hardship as inflation erodes purchasing power.
Kiyosaki, who has long criticized conventional saving strategies, repeated his well-known mantra that “savers are losers,” arguing that inflation effectively turns uninvested cash “into trash.” Instead, he continues to promote investment in hard and digital assets such as gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum, assets he says retain value even as monetary systems weaken.
However, Kiyosaki’s latest post singles out silver and Ethereum as standout opportunities in 2025. He described both as undervalued stores of value that also serve important industrial and technological functions, calling them “the best” assets for investors looking to protect wealth amid economic turbulence.

Kiyosaki’s warning comes amid global market uncertainty, tightening liquidity conditions, and renewed volatility across digital assets, a backdrop that has renewed interest in his long-standing message: build financial intelligence, not dependence on fiat savings.
