Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has done it again declared his support for Bitcointhis time by making a direct comparison of digital assets with gold. In a recent social media post, the New York Times bestselling author said that if forced to choose between the two, he would choose Bitcoin over gold, citing the cryptocurrency’s actual design as the deciding factor.

His comments quickly sparked a backlash from his followers, not only because of the comparisons, but also because of his own recent activity on the cryptocurrency market.

Bitcoin is a better investment than gold

According to Kiyosaki Investing in Bitcoin is a much better decision than buying gold, and this is mainly due to the dynamics of the supply of both assets. On the surface, Kiyosaki noted that it would obviously be better this way invest in both gold and Bitcoin, while adding silver to diversify the assets. However, if he had to choose only one asset, he would choose Bitcoin.

Kiyosaki’s view of Bitcoin as a better investment is based on his strenuous supply limit of 21 million coins. Unlike gold, whose total reserves are uncertain and can be increased through technological progress and exploration, Bitcoin’s issuance schedule is mathematically predetermined.

The protocol behind BTC guarantees that no more than 21 million coins will ever exist. More than 19 million coins have been mined so far, which means the network is approaching its maximum supply threshold. According to Kiyosaki, this project is brilliant, and this means that the price of Bitcoin should only go up.

From Kiyosaki’s perspective, artificial scarcity gives Bitcoin a structural advantage over gold. If demand increases while supply remains constant, basic economic theory assumes long-term upward price pressure. “I’m glad I bought Bitcoin earlier” Kiyosaki said.

From selling BTC to defending claims related to early market entry

Robert Kiyosaki rose to fame with his bestselling 1997 personal finance book entitled Rich Dad Poor Dad, which eventually became a series of personal finance books. Over the years, he has expanded his commentary to include real estate, precious metals, commodities and… recently cryptocurrencies.

In overdue 2025, Kiyosaki revealed that he did sold part of his Bitcoin holdings. The disclosure came in November, around the time the price Bitcoin fell below $90,000. According to him, he sold approximately $2.25 million worth of Bitcoins, explaining that the coins were originally acquired years earlier for approximately $6,000 each.

Talking about buying Bitcoin for $6,000, Kiyosaki claims to have stopped buying Bitcoin for $6,000. However, he faced backlash for this claim. Recent community notes show that on January 23, 2026, Kiyosaki said that he is constantly buying Bitcoin along with other assets such as gold, silver, and Ethereum.

Nevertheless, gold and bitcoin discussion among investors is unlikely to stop anytime soon.
