Financial author and entrepreneur Robert Kiyosaki has reignited debate over the future of the US dollar, calling it a "loser's" asset and urging investors to turn to gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum instead.
"END of US Dollar? Adding to my gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum stack. Savers of US dollars are losers. Be a winner. Take care (sic)," the Rich Dad Poor Dad author wrote on X, emphasising his belief that traditional savings are becoming increasingly risky amid global financial turbulence.
END of US Dollar?
Adding to my gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum stack.
Savers of US dollars are losers.
Be a winner.
Take care.October 8, 2025AdvertisementKiyosaki's remarks come as the push for de-dollarisation gains momentum worldwide. The US dollar's share of global foreign exchange reserves fell to a 30-year low of 56.3% in Q2 2025, signaling a gradual erosion of its dominance in international trade and finance.
Economic uncertainty in the United States has further fuelled investor anxiety. The Federal Reserve's recent interest rate cut and the ongoing government shutdown have amplified concerns about fiscal stability and inflationary pressures.

His comments coincide with a surge across both traditional and digital safe-haven assets. Bitcoin recently breached $126,000 before retracing to $122,739 as of 07:15 p.m. IST, while Ethereum also eased down from its $5,000 levels, according to CoinMarketCap.

Kiyosaki's post comes just over a week after he predicted that silver prices could surge fivefold and urged investors to buy more silver coins instead of Bitcoin or gold. In a notable shift since then, the Rich Dad Poor Dad author has now expanded his focus to include Ethereum. Just days earlier, the veteran investor had also shared his views on the stock and bond markets following Warren Buffett's endorsement of gold and silver.
Notably, silver rose as much as 4% to $51.24 an ounce on Thursday. This is the highest since the commodity boom in 2011—which was stoked by the European debt crisis—and also surpasses the highs seen in 1980, when silver had shot up due to a notorious squeeze that was orchestrated by the billionaire Hunt brothers.
