Robert Kiyosaki expects a sharp market slide and sees it as a chance to add to his holdings. He has named Bitcoin and Ethereum alongside gold and silver as places to park money when prices tumble.
The book author and crypto figure calls scarcity a simple reason to act now. That idea is not new, but he is putting fresh public emphasis on buying during market panic.
“I am so excited and bullish on Bitcoin I am buying more and more as Bitcoin’s price goes down,” Kiyosaki said in an X post.
Kiyosaki’s Scarcity Argument
Kiyosaki’s view rests on one clear point: some assets are limited. Bitcoin’s capped supply is used as the main example. He believes limited supply can protect value when currencies are under pressure.
“I will be buying more Bitcoin as people panic and sell into the coming crash,” he said.
The strategy he’s talking about is to keep buying during price drops, taking advantage of panic to pick up more at lower levels.
I Am Warning You: In Rich Dad’s Prophecy published 2013 I warned of the biggest stock market crash in history still coming.
That giant crash is now imminent.
The good news is those of you who followed my rich dad’s warning and prepared….the coming crash will make you richer…

For people who can handle big swings, that approach may produce strong gains over many years. It is an aggressive stance, and it relies on the buyer staying calm while markets move wildly around them.
“This coming crash may make you richer beyond your wildest dreams if you realize crashes are the best of times to get richer,” Kiyosaki said.
Market Voices Push Back
Not everyone agrees with that approach. Billionaire Warren Buffett has long warned that crypto looks speculative, and financial commentator Peter Schiff argues that digital coins lack a reliable store of value.
Their warnings are blunt: prices can fall much further and stay low for a long time. This tension between bullish accumulation and caution is shaping investor debate right now. Price swings in a short span are not uncommon, and those moves can test conviction.
What To Watch Next
Liquidity and regulatory shifts remain key factors. Large drops have often been amplified when buyers pull back or regulators implement sudden rule changes.
Exchange outages, forced selling by major holders, and rapid swings in lending markets have triggered past selloffs.
Reports note that macro headlines and shifts in sentiment among big investors can drive prices lower even when long-term fundamentals appear steady.
Steady accumulation during such periods has historically depended on the ability to endure these shocks.
A Plain Takeaway
Kiyosaki is making a choice about how to deal with risk: accept volatility and buy more, or avoid it and likely miss big rebounds.
Both approaches have been proven right at different times. Short-term noise will be loud and distracting. Long-term results will be shown by market prices and by who keeps their nerve.
