When Warren Buffett starts buying gold and silver — Robert Kiyosaki starts buying Bitcoin. The “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” author says this reversal is the ultimate red flag for markets.
Robert Kiyosaki is not known for understatement — and this time, he didn’t hold back. On X (formerly Twitter), the best-selling author wrote:
“I feel like vomiting listening to Buffett praising gold and silver… after years of mocking them. This means stocks and bonds will soon crash. Are we heading into a depression?”
Kiyosaki’s reasoning is simple — when the ultimate stock-market maximalist turns to metals, something fundamental has shifted. He believes Buffett’s endorsement of gold and silver after decades of rejection reflects a loss of confidence in fiat markets and an acknowledgment that the economy’s foundations are cracking.
Warren Buffett has spent a lifetime mocking precious metals, calling gold a “dead asset” that “just sits there.” Now, his change in tone — praising their “long-term value” — is setting off alarms for market contrarians like Kiyosaki.
Kiyosaki interprets it as a harbinger of systemic risk:
In his words, “Buffett moving to metals means the game is changing — the printing press can’t save us anymore.”
Kiyosaki isn’t just talking — he’s positioning. His latest message repeats a formula he’s stood by for years:
“It seems it’s time to listen to Buffett and buy some gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum.”
For him, metals are protection — and crypto is the offense.
He views gold and silver as insurance against monetary collapse, while Bitcoin and Ethereum represent the next-generation hedge — programmable, scarce, borderless. Together, they form what he calls the “financial survival portfolio” for the 2020s.
Behind Kiyosaki’s warning lies a simple math problem: the U.S. owes too much and produces too little.
He argues the Fed has transformed the U.S. from an economic leader into the “biggest debtor nation in history.” Once confidence in the dollar wanes, Kiyosaki predicts a cascade into hard and digital assets — gold, silver, Bitcoin, Ethereum — as trust exits traditional markets.
Kiyosaki’s post isn’t just another doomsday tweet — it’s a contrarian signal backed by behavioral patterns. When Buffett moves to metals, institutional confidence may be eroding faster than reported.
For investors, the lesson is twofold:
“The rich are preparing for what’s coming,” Kiyosaki warned. “Everyone else is still hoping for another bull run.”
Robert Kiyosaki’s philosophy has always been about financial education as defense — understanding money before it fails you. His latest warning sits at the crossroads of traditional finance and the crypto economy: hard assets meet digital trust.
If Buffett’s pivot is real and Kiyosaki’s instincts are right, investors could be standing at the edge of a historic market reset — one that rewards conviction over comfort.
