Robert Kiyosaki Says ‘Brutal Crash Here Now’ – What’s Next for Investors?
Robert Kiyosaki– Financial expert and best-selling author Robert Kiyosaki has long warned of an impending ‘massive crash.’ Based on the performance of major stocks and cryptocurrencies in the early hours of Monday, February 3, it appears that his prediction may be unfolding.
On Sunday evening, Kiyosaki posted on X with a stark statement:
Brutal crash here now.
Backing his observation, he pointed to the performance of various high- and low-risk assets. However, as usual, he urged his followers to remain calm, stating: ‘Don’t be a loser’ and ‘Stay cool.’
Are Market Dips a Buying Opportunity? Kiyosaki’s Perspective
Kiyosaki has often described market crashes as ‘sales’ and believes that crises and recessions present the best opportunities to build wealth. His latest post reiterates this stance.
The logic behind this approach has historical backing. For example, an investment of $1,000 in the S&P 500 at the lowest point of the Great Recession would now be worth $7,989.4. Similarly, investing $1,000 in Bitcoin (BTC) in late 2022—when BTC was trading around $16,000—would now be worth $5,588.24, with Bitcoin reaching $95,490.
However, with many assets experiencing relentless growth in recent years, investors are left wondering when and where to buy. For instance, despite widespread fear during Nvidia’s (NASDAQ: NVDA) dip in August 2024, those who bought then would still be profiting now, with the stock trading at $115.42.
On the other hand, with many major stocks significantly overvalued, it remains uncertain whether the current downturn is just a temporary setback or if what some experts have long called the ‘everything bubble’ is finally bursting.
Is Kiyosaki’s Advice Logical but Impractical?
Kiyosaki’s one-sided analysis has been a topic of debate for years. While it is generally true that recessions create wealth-building opportunities, such advice overlooks individuals who lack the financial flexibility to bet on the next market direction.
A similar controversy arose in late 2024 when Kiyosaki advised his followers to sell their homes and buy Bitcoin. Many were skeptical of this advice, especially since Kiyosaki himself claims to own thousands of properties.
