Author and investor Robert Kiyosaki, best known for Rich Dad Poor Dad, took to X to criticize what he called “fear click baiting” in the financial media.
In his post on October 27, 2025, Kiyosaki called out YouTube and social media influencers for spreading panic-driven predictions like “Bitcoin to crash” or “Gold and silver to collapse” purely for views and subscriptions.
FEAR CLICK BAITING:
Many You Tube jockeys, vs old time Radio Disc Jockies….lure you in with “Fear Click Baits.”
They state such predictions as “Bitcoin to crash.” Or “Gold and silver to crash.”

“How phoney. How fake?” Kiyosaki wrote, adding that he sees such alarmist narratives as distractions from the real economic problem, the collapse of trust in fiat currency and poor fiscal management by governments.
“The real problem is fake money and incompetent leaders… and a national debt in the trillions or quadrillions,” he said.
Kiyosaki reaffirmed his bullish stance on hard assets, stating that if Bitcoin or Ethereum were to crash, he would simply “buy more at lower prices.” His view aligns with his long-standing philosophy that digital assets and precious metals offer protection against the inflationary effects of excessive money printing.
He concluded his message by reminding followers to “stick with real” and “F fake,” underscoring his belief that tangible and decentralized assets remain the best hedge in a world dominated by debt and devaluation.
