‘Rich Dad’ R. Kiyosaki Outlines Why Bitcoin Is Better Investment Than Gold

In Brief

• Robert Kiyosaki says Bitcoin is the better single investment than gold.
• He points to Bitcoin’s fixed supply versus gold’s expandable production.
• The case is based on long-term scarcity.

If forced to choose just one asset, the “Rich Dad Poor Dad” author Robert Kiyosaki wouldn’t hesitate; he’d go straight after Bitcoin (BTC) over gold when it comes to investing.

As it happens, in an X post he shared on February 8, Kiyosaki said that, though he prefers diversification across gold, silver, and Bitcoin, he would pick Bitcoin if only one option were available. His reasoning is more structural than ideological and comes down to supply.

Kiyosaki’s Core Argument: Scarcity vs Production

Kiyosaki argues that gold’s biggest weakness is often overlooked. Though it’s scarce in practice, gold is theoretically infinite. Higher prices incentivize more mining, more exploration, and more supply.

And he would know, as he says he is actively mining for gold and drilling for oil himself. Bitcoin, by contrast, is finite by design. Its supply is capped at 21 million coins, a limit that can’t be changed without breaking the system itself. As Kiyosaki put it, once that cap is reached, no new BTC can be added, ever.

That’s the difference he believes matters most.

Because Bitcoin’s supply can’t respond to rising demand, Kiyosaki sees it as structurally tilted toward higher prices over time. Gold prices can rise, but higher prices also bring higher production. Bitcoin doesn’t work that way. He called Bitcoin’s fixed supply “brilliant,” adding he was glad to have bought early.

What This Means For Investors

Kiyosaki isn’t arguing that gold is useless. He still advocates holding both, along with silver, for diversification. But his broader message is about how assets behave under monetary stress. Gold protects against inflation, whereas Bitcoin can’t be diluted at all.

For investors deciding how to allocate capital long term, the distinction is that one asset can respond to price with more supply, the other can’t. This doesn’t guarantee Bitcoin’s price only goes up, but it does explain why Kiyosaki believes its upside logic is fundamentally different from gold’s.
