The crisis has already arrived: Kiyosaki

The world of finance is shaking with a scenario that marks the beginning of a long-publicized blunder, according to writer and investor Robert Kiyosaki.

Kiyosaki does not hesitate to affirm as a clear and direct message published on his X account on March 10, 2025. Unfortunately, the crisis has already arrived».

His words resonate with a Context of global uncertainty beyond the darkest days of the Covid-19 pandemicstock markets, digital and traditional markets show signs of collapse.

Prophecy taking shape

Kiyosaki is not new in warning technology. For years, the author of Father Rico’s prophecy He claimed that the historic stock exchange falls on the horizon.

On January 27th, he repeated that February 2025 will be a turning point. The market has not collapsed at its predicted exact size, but as Cryptoics reported, reality is not far from forecasting.

Global action has declined, and Wall Street is facing massive sales, accumulating losses and digital assets such as Bitcoin (BTC). Although the “most severe decline in history” has not been realized.

For example, the S&P 500, one of the most representative indexes of the US economy, is Historic maximum has been reached It has fallen to September 2024 levels at the beginning of February, but in recent weeks, suggesting that a crisis could occur in the medium term.

For example, the commercial war between the US and China has put pressure on the panorama. China has imposed tariffs on American agricultural products such as wood, retaliating with 15% of liquefied coal and natural gas, in addition to 10% of crude oil and agricultural machinery.

This mountain climb Donald Trump meets the 20% tariff established on Chinese importsincreased its Mexican and Canadian products by 25% on March 4th.

Oil prices take at least six months, collaborating with Trump’s desire to reduce inflation, but at high costs. In the following graph, you can see how oil prices began to fall from Trump’s arrival to electricity.

Baby boomers in the sight

Kiyosaki directly refers to the baby boomer generation of investors (people born between 1946 and 1964) As the most vulnerable economic whirlwind.

“The American baby boomer generation is the first generation with 401k and rage, and is also known as the defined contribution pension system,” he explains.

Unlike the World War II generation, who defined benefits plans, even in crisis, they forget to pay what was promised – the current plan only guarantees what remains after the market decline.

“In the case of collapse, a defined contribution plan is simply to pay for what the investor contributed if something remains,” the author says.

This contrast puts the future of millions who trusted these instruments for retirement.

Current volatility, coupled with the lack of financial education that Kiyosaki has been vehemently criticising, puts this generation at devastating losses.

meanwhile, Japan’s performance in 20 years reached 2,265%the highest level since 2008 reflects expectations for an increase in interest rates and inflationary pressures that unleash a sense of rejection of risk in the stock and Bitcoin market.

The reason is that such a scenario represents the greater strength of the Japanese currency, the yen (jpy). In other words, yen loans discourage you from buying dollars and investing in the stock and cryptocurrency market.

Bitcoin: Shelter or Mirage?

During this panorama, Bitcoin, the digital currency created by Nakamoto At, does not escape the storm.

Last week recorded a 13% decline driven by the sale of risky assets facing macroeconomic uncertainty. Investors refuge in treasure bonds and dollars and strengthen the idea of ​​bitcoin It remains recognized as a speculative asset, not a reserve of value comparable to gold..

However, the new US-promoted Bitcoin Strategic Reserve will send another message. The government considers it a rare and valuable asset comparable to “digital gold.”.

In the long run, the characteristics of Bitcoin – his 21 million limit, resistance to censorship and disagreement – They position it as an attractive option in times of crisis.

Quietly to his philosophy, Kiyosaki includes it among his recommendations: “Invest and own actual gold, silver and bitcoin.”

but, Warns against ETFs for these assets. “I would never buy a gold, silver or Bitcoin ETF,” he says.

This is because of the Bitcoin ETF They do not represent direct ownership of Bitcoin. Instead, it is a debt title, a “voucher,” and promises to be exposed to the price of Bitcoin.

This means that instead of having a currency directly, there are financial instruments that follow the price of digital currency

A suppressed world

The current global economic uncertainty is above the level recorded during the Covid-19 pandemic, as seen in the following graph.

The difficulty in predicting economic behavior equally affects governments, businesses and citizens.

Tariff war, Japanese interest rates, falling oil prices, digital and traditional market volatility They draw very dangerous scenarios.

For Kyoto, the root of the problem lies in a poor education system, Wall Street, full of political leaders influenced by “silly investors” and “corrupted bankers.”

His advice is clear, as he calls it, in the face of this “currency ponzi scheme.” Use tangible assets to manage your personal finances. The market is being distorted, and Kiyosaki’s prophecies actually find echoes, but the world is carefully observing.

Crisis, he says It’s no longer a warning, but it’s a concrete presence. It remains to see whether investors, especially the baby boomers, can overcome the storm, or, as the authors have predicted, this will mark the beginning of an irreversible change in the global fiscal order.
