January 28 News, author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad” Robert Kiyosaki once again publicly warns investors to reduce their holdings of US dollars and instead allocate assets such as gold, silver, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other assets. He bluntly states that the US dollar is no longer a reliable store of value, and inflation and debt issues are continuously eroding its purchasing power.
Robert Kiyosaki says that precious metals and cryptocurrencies have stronger resilience during currency depreciation cycles and are important choices for hedging systemic risks. He emphasizes that gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum play the role of “wealth insurance” at different stages, with long-term value being more resilient.
In response to external speculation about changes in his investment portfolio, Robert Kiyosaki also clarifies. He denies the claim of “selling all silver and increasing Bitcoin holdings,” confirming that he has never sold any silver. He did sell some Bitcoin and gold earlier, but only to purchase real estate. He admits that, in hindsight, selling Bitcoin and gold was a wrong decision, and holding onto silver makes him feel more secure.
From the market performance perspective, precious metals have recently shown extremely strong momentum. Gold prices have soared to a historic high of $5,266 per ounce, and silver has also hit a record, reaching $117.75 per ounce. In contrast, Bitcoin has been relatively stagnant, currently at $88,927, down about 1.3% for the month.
Meanwhile, the US dollar index has fallen back to 96.07, with a weekly decline of over 1%, further reinforcing market expectations of a weakening fiat currency. Against this backdrop, the divergence between safe-haven assets and risk assets has become increasingly apparent.
However, economist Peter Schiff has a different view on Bitcoin. He points out that while gold and silver continue to hit new highs, Bitcoin has not strengthened in tandem, which weakens its narrative as “digital gold.” In his opinion, if this divergence persists, Bitcoin’s safe-haven properties may face more severe skepticism.
In an environment where precious metals are soaring and the US dollar is under pressure, investors are re-evaluating Bitcoin’s positioning, and market disagreements are growing.
