Robert Kiyosaki Warns: Bitcoin ETFs Are Just “Pictures of Guns”
Robert Kiyosaki– Renowned macro investor and Real Vision CEO Raoul Pal didn’t hold back after the Financial Times fired shots at crypto investors, calling them “madcap gamblers, money launderers, and fraudsters.” The FT urged readers to ditch Bitcoin for “boring” assets and cash, which they claim are now yielding “real income” post-inflation.
But Pal clapped back hard. Sharing a screenshot of the article on X (formerly Twitter), he called out the FT’s outdated narrative, saying it’s “doing its typical thing” — attacking innovation while ignoring long-term performance. Pal reminded followers that Bitcoin remains the best-performing asset in financial history, even outpacing traditional stock indices.
He compared the FT’s anti-crypto stance to “angry old men shaking fists at clouds,” mocking their inability to grasp how crypto is reshaping finance, especially in the face of U.S. dollar debasement.
Kiyosaki Warms Up to Bitcoin ETFs — But There’s a Catch
In a surprising turn, Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki gave a nod to Bitcoin ETFs — something he’s historically dismissed. While acknowledging that ETFs “make investing easier for the average person,” he issued a strong caveat.
Kiyosaki likened ETFs to having “a picture of a gun for self-defense.” In his eyes, nothing beats the real thing. He urged his followers to own actual Bitcoin, gold, and silver, warning that in volatile times, tangible assets offer peace of mind — and protection.
