In a late March 26 X post, the famous author of the best-selling personal finance book ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad,’ Robert Kiyosaki , reached for a common rhetorical device when making his latest prediction as to when the next financial crash is coming. Specifically, the investor and influencer invoked the wisdom of ancestors and noted that both the famed French astrologer Nostradamus and American clairvoyant Edgar Cayce foresaw 2026 as a year of crisis. Thus, Kiyosaki reiterated his numerous previous predictions that a financial crash is imminent, but also explained he intended to use the recession to get richer. In the same X post, he issued something of a call to action as well by asking his followers: ‘Will you become richer or poorer?’ 2026 CRASH? FUTURISTS: Nostradamus in 1500 said disaster would hit the world in 2026. Edgar Cayce in 1950 also predicted a massive crash occurring in 2026. What do you think? You may want to tune into YouTube videos for more details on these two famous futurist predictions.… — Robert Kiyosaki (@theRealKiyosaki) March 27, 2026 ‘Rich Dad’ R. Kiyosaki reveals his strategy for getting richer While ‘Rich Dad’ Robert Kiyosaki’s strategy is relatively well known among people who have been tracking his work for any amount of time, the author published a supplementary X post mere hours later. Indeed, the investor clarified that his strategy has always been to purchase assets that a government or a bank can’t ‘print’ – he, actually, wrote his focus was specifically on those but both the rest of the tweet and his previous comments indicate a likely typo – and that, thus, he is disinterested in cash, stocks , or exchange-traded funds ( ETF ). Instead, Kiyosaki doubled down on his strategy of buying and holding several key commodities – Gold and Silver – two major cryptocurrencies – Bitcoin ( BTC ) and Ethereum ( ETH ) – the cash-yielding business of keeping wagyu cattle, and on real estate. ‘Rich Dad’ R. Kiyosaki claims to have skipped meals to afford $600 in Bitcoin Elsewhere, the supplementary clarification X post also did much to muddy the waters. For example, Robert Kiyosaki revealed his strategy was essentially to buy assets and hold them in perpetuity. As an example, he revealed his first involvement with digital assets was a $600 purchase of 6 Bitcoins. Notably, the author claimed he skipped several meals to afford BTC. Considering Kiyosaki’s career and the fact that he couldn’t have purchased any cryptocurrency before the late 2000s, the claim that a $600 expenditure meant foregoing meals constitutes either breaking the news on previously undisclosed financial destitution or is misleading. MY APOLOGIES: In my previous X I quoted futurists Nostradamus’ 1500 and Edgar Caycees 1940 prediction that a global economic crisi would begin in 2026. A friend contacted me. He was upset with me because I stated I was going to richer during the 2026 crisis. His problem was… — Robert Kiyosaki (@theRealKiyosaki) March 27, 2026 Why Robert Kiyosaki believes a crisis might come in 2026 Simultaneously, while noting he is, in fact, unsure if 2026 will be a crisis year, Kiyosaki noted his disbelief at both Nostradamus and Cayce predicting a major calamity in ‘2926’, indicating the author made at least some typos while listing the various years. Whatever the truth is behind the predictions of oracles of old and Robert Kiyosaki’s claims, the truth is that the ‘Rich Dad’ writer was right when noting that Warren Buffett has been raising vast quantities of cash for years, allegedly due to a lack of strong investment possibilities. Additionally, though the second X post was far less certain in tone regarding an imminent crisis, it is known from Kiyosaki’s earlier work that he strongly believes that America’s national debt, the Fed’s ability to add more money into the economy by ‘printing,’ and BlackRock’s (NYSE: BLK ) decision to freeze some withdrawal are all major risk factors .
