Kiyosaki’s Silver Shock: Doom or Opportunity?

by

A certain Mr. Kiyosaki-a purveyor of financially-flavored anxieties, if you will-has declared that silver, that most unassuming of metals, is about to embark on a journey toward…two hundred dollars. 💸 A price, one might add, which feels less like economic forecasting and more like a prophecy whispered by a slightly eccentric hermit. It’s silver, you understand. Not some glamorous, technological marvel, but silver. The stuff teapots are made of.

He posits this metallic ascension as a premonition of “hyperinflation.” Hyperinflation! A word so grand, so operatic, it deserves a full orchestral score. It seems the paper in our pockets – that “fake money,” as Kiyosaki so kindly refers to it – is on the precipice of…well, becoming even faker. One almost feels sorry for the dollar. 😔

“SILVER over $70. GREAT NEWS for gold and silver stackers. BAD NEWS for FAKE MONEY savers.” He writes, with the sort of pointed, almost theatrical glee one reserves for observing the unraveling of complex systems. It is, let’s be honest, rather enjoyable to watch some people fret.

“I am concerned $70 silver may signal hyperinflation in 5 years as the fake $ keeps losing value.” Five years. The tantalizingly vague yet sufficiently ominous timeframe. Enough time to prepare, or enough time to forget you ever read this. 🤔

“Don’t be a loser. Fake $ will continue to lose purchasing power as silver goes to $200 in 2026. Take care.” The casual cruelty of it all! “Don’t be a loser.” As if one’s financial standing is a matter of personal failure, rather than… you know… complicated economic forces. 🙄

He then expands his investment portfolio of doom – or salvation, depending on your perspective – to include the digital phantoms of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Because nothing says “safe haven” quite like a currency built on algorithms and fervent belief. Honestly, it’s all terribly poetic.

“LESSON #9: How to get richer as the world economy crashes.” It’s all very straightforward, isn’t it? As if crashing economies are simply opportunities for shrewd investment. Like collecting stamps from a sinking ship. 🚢

“The FED lowered interest rates… signaling QE (quantitative easing) or turning on the fake money printing press…What Larry Lepard calls “The Big Print” the title of his great book.” Oh, the “Big Print!” How delightfully apocalyptic. One imagines a massive printing press churning out bills with a maniacal laugh track.

“This will lead to Hyperinflation… making life very expensive for the unprepared.” A statement delivered with the gravitas of a seasoned prophet. Though, one wonders… is anyone ever truly prepared?

“Silver is going to the moon, possibly $200 an ounce in 2026.” Again with the moon! It seems every financial instrument is destined for lunar travel these days. Perhaps we should all invest in rockets.

“Silver was $20 an ounce in 2024.” A sobering reminder of the present moment. A moment increasingly viewed through the lens of potential financial collapse.

“Q: Did I need to buy more silver?”

“A: NO. I just hate getting screwed by my own government….and I am going to get richer when the fake economy crashes.” Ah, the root of it all. Not profit, not security, but righteous indignation. It’s a very human motivation, really. And perhaps, even a little bit charming. 😈
