Robert Kiyosaki, the bestselling author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has a message for anyone still sitting on the sidelines: buy Bitcoin — even if it's just 0.01 BTC — or risk missing the easiest wealth transfer in history.
"I cannot believe how easy Bitcoin has made getting rich… so easy," Kiyosaki wrote in a new post on X (formerly Twitter). "Why everyone is not buying and holding Bitcoin is beyond me."
The long-time crypto advocate doubled down on his belief that Bitcoin's scarcity and inevitability are being underestimated by most people, claiming that even the smallest amount will become life-changing:
"Even .01 of a Bitcoin is going to be priceless in two years… and maybe make you very rich."
While acknowledging the digital asset's volatility, Kiyosaki dismissed concerns outright, "Sure Bitcoin goes up and down… but so does real life."
With just 1 to 2 million BTC left to be mined, he believes a parabolic rise is coming — what macro investor Raoul Pal dubbed the "Banana Zone."
"Don't be a yellow banana. Open your eyes and your mind and listen to people like Raoul Pal, Michael Saylor, Anthony Pompliano," Kiyosaki said, urging readers to follow Bitcoin influencers and "look into the future of money."
This isn't the first time Kiyosaki has made bold predictions . He famously forecast that Bitcoin would reach $100,000 back in November 2024 — a milestone that became reality earlier this year. Currently, he believes Bitcoin will climb to $250,000 by the end of 2025.
"The Marxist Central Bank system is crashing… Many going bankrupt," he warned. "Keep HODLing. I am and buying more Bitcoin."
As per Kraken's price feed, Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading at $109,784, reflecting a 2.35% increase over the past 24 hours. The 24-hour trading volume stands at approximately $162 million, with a market capitalization of $2.18 trillion
For those unfamiliar, Rich Dad Poor Dad is one of the most popular personal finance books of all time. It contrasts two financial philosophies, one of traditional saving and one of investing and risk-taking, and helped define a generation of self-taught investors.
And if you take his advice seriously?
Just don't be a yellow banana.
