Kiyosaki’s BTC Blunder: Gold’s Giggle or Crypto’s Cry?

by

In the grand theater of financial folly, the esteemed author of the Rich Dad, Poor Dad saga has once again taken center stage, his pronouncements echoing through the halls of both admiration and derision. On a Friday, as the sun cast its indifferent gaze upon the world, he proclaimed his latest acquisition-a single Bitcoin, purchased for the sum of $67,000. A trifle, one might say, in the grand scheme of his wealth, yet a declaration that stirred the waters of discourse.

It is no secret that Kiyosaki’s words, like the winds of March, are fickle and unpredictable. His recent assertions, though bold, have not escaped the scrutiny of the vigilant masses. Some have labeled them as inconsistent, others as outright falsehoods. Yet, he persists, undeterred by the cacophony of criticism.

A Single Bitcoin, A World of Speculation

Taking to the digital pulpit of X, Kiyosaki unveiled his rationale for this latest purchase. Two pillars, he claimed, supported his decision. The first, a dire prophecy of economic doom: the collapse of the dollar under the weight of American debt, and the subsequent printing of “fake dollars” by the “Marxist Fed.” The second, a more mystical notion-the approach of the 21 millionth Bitcoin, a moment he believes will elevate the cryptocurrency above the venerable gold.

#1: Because the Big Print will begin when the US debt crashes the dollar and “The Marxist Fed” begins printing trillions in fake dollars.

#2: The magical 21 millionth Bitcoin is getting close to being mined.

Ah, the 21 millionth Bitcoin! A number that dances on the lips of enthusiasts like a promise of eternal prosperity. Yet, one must pause and consider the mechanics of this digital realm. Nearly 20 million Bitcoins have already been mined, a fact that might lead the uninitiated to believe the end is nigh. But alas, the final million will be the most elusive, their extraction a laborious process stretching far into the future. By the estimates of the wise, the last Bitcoin will not see the light of day until the year 2140. By then, Kiyosaki, born in the year 1947, would be a venerable 193 years old-a feat of longevity that even the most optimistic of us would find hard to fathom.

And what of his claim that Bitcoin will surpass gold once the last coin is mined? A curious assertion, given that mere weeks ago, he declared his preference for Bitcoin over gold, citing its finite supply of 21 million. One cannot help but wonder if the sands of his conviction shift with the tides of the market.

The Price of Inconsistency

In February, another of his proclamations left the crypto community bewildered. He stated that he had ceased purchasing Bitcoin at $6,000, yet in numerous other posts, he boasted of acquiring more at prices exceeding $100,000. Such contradictions did not go unnoticed. The ever-watchful eyes of the crypto faithful pounced upon these inconsistencies, their backlash swift and severe. Yet, Kiyosaki remained silent, a sphinx amidst the storm.

In the end, one is left to ponder the nature of such pronouncements. Are they the musings of a financial sage, or the ramblings of a man caught in the whirlwind of his own hype? Perhaps, in the grand tapestry of life, it matters not. For in the world of finance, as in the pages of Tolstoy, the only certainty is uncertainty, and the only constant is change.
