Robert Kiyosaki Contradicts Crypto Analysts on Bitcoin Bubble
Robert Kiyosaki, author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” offered a bearish outlook on Bitcoin, differing sharply from prevailing crypto analyst views, describing a potential “bubble” that could soon burst alongside gold and silver.
Speaking Monday, the businessman predicted, “Bubbles are about to start busting,” adding that when these market corrections occur, “odds are gold, silver, and Bitcoin will bust too,” presenting a buying opportunity.
Kiyosaki’s comments appear to contradict his earlier stance from last week, when Bitcoin surpassed $120,000—a record high. At that time, he acknowledged investors had “missed the boat,” stating their hesitancy made them “own nothing.” While cheering Bitcoin’s breakout above $120,000, he claimed it was “bad news for who… for whatever reason… never ‘pulled the trigger.'” He also cautioned against overinvestment, referencing the adage, “Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered,” noting that he intended to “buy one more [Bitcoin]… and get fatter,” contingent upon his analysis of the “economy’s direction.”
Mixed Messages from Robert Kiyosaki
His recent remarks contradict an earlier July commentary where he derided “clickbait losers” repeatedly warning of a Bitcoin crash, dismissing their motives.

Bubble Speculation and Counterarguments
Skepticism surrounding Bitcoin persists, with concerns that certain instruments, Bitcoin treasuries (companies selling bonds and accepting BTC), exhibit bubble characteristics. A precipitous drop in BTC prices could put these companies in a potential “death spiral.” However, Bitcoin Strategy director Joe Burnett contends they aren’t subject to the same speculative bubble, noting these entities place their capital directly into “money itself,” not “an idea.” Meanwhile, Apollo Capital’s chief investment officer, Henrik Andersson advised Cointelegraph that “doing their own research rather than listening to ‘influencers’” would benefit investors.

Cyclical Pattern for Bitcoin
Bitcoin’s price action is viewed by some analysts through a cyclical lens, suggesting market patterns repeat approximately every four years since the cryptocurrency’s inception. History suggests 2025 could represent a peak in the current bull market if this pattern holds. Some analysts forecast Bitcoin’s price could reach peaks between $130,000 and $200,000 before the end of the year. Existing indicators, including the CoinGlass bull market signal dashboard, currently suggest the market top remains distant, offering little sign that the current bullish trend has reversed.
