Robert Kiyosaki, a financial educator and author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has raised concerns about the state of the world economy, speculating that a significant financial collapse might occur in 2026. However, Kiyosaki's recent remarks imply that he still has more faith in hard assets like silver, in contrast to many investors who continue to place large bets on cryptocurrencies as the best defense against volatility.
Metals beat digital assets
In a recent post, Kiyosaki discussed his early investment choices and disclosed that he began stacking silver in 1965, when the price was "still pennies". He now views silver as one of his best-performing investments after many years. His more general message emphasized long-term positioning rather than panic, contending that the best investors predict future changes in the economy before the masses do.

According to Kiyosaki, the current financial system is under increasing pressure due to growing debt, declining fiat currencies, and slowing global growth. He believes that there will soon be another systemic crisis, rather than it being a remote possibility. Kiyosaki continues to emphasize tangible stores of value, even though many retail investors are increasingly turning to Bitcoin and speculative crypto assets during uncertain times.

Bitcoin is back on the rising trend
That position coincides with an intriguing period for the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin is currently trading above the $80,000 mark once more after making a significant comeback from its February lows near $64,000. BTC recently recovered its short- and mid-term moving averages on the daily chart, and RSI momentum is still rising toward overbought territory. Additionally, the most recent breakout forced price action into a higher-low structure, indicating that traders' bullish sentiment had improved.

However, Kiyosaki doesn't seem to be persuaded that cryptocurrency on its own can provide a solid defense in the event of a severe global downturn. His frequent emphasis on silver and other hard assets indicates that he believes physical commodities are more resilient in times of institutional stress and monetary instability.
Whether or not investors share his perspective, one thing is certain: as 2026 goes deeper, the market volatility is increasing, but it's not going to the right direction, which can certainly harm the performance of the cryptocurrency market.
