Robert Kiyosaki Says Cash Is Trash, Buy These Assets

In Brief

  • •  
  • •  Robert Kiyosaki again called cash "trash" amid inflation concerns.
  • • He urged investors to own Bitcoin, Ethereum, gold, and silver instead.

Popular entrepreneur and finance educator Robert Kiyosaki has renewed his criticism of holding cash, arguing that inflation and government money creation continue to erode the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar. Using the scale of a $1 trillion figure, the Rich Dad Poor Dad author claimed savers are falling behind as hard assets continue to offer better long-term protection. He again encouraged investors to own Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), gold, and silver instead of cash.

Robert Kiyosaki Says Cash Is Trash Again

In a post he shared on X on June 2, Kiyosaki highlighted the size of $1 trillion by noting that spending $1 every minute would take about 34,000 years to exhaust that amount.

He then contrasted that with his long-standing criticism of U.S. monetary policy, as he claimed the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury can effectively create $1 trillion in less than a minute. 

Though the statement is rhetorical rather than a literal description of how money creation works, Kiyosaki used it to reinforce his view that fiat currencies steadily lose value over time.

“The picture,” according to Kiyosaki, is simple: “Savers of dollars are losers” and “Cash is trash.”

Based on that belief, he once again advised investors to exchange cash for gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum, assets he has repeatedly described as better long-term stores of value.

Bitcoin Remains Central to His Investment Thesis

Kiyosaki has consistently argued that inflation, government debt, and expanding money supply will continue weakening fiat currencies, making scarce assets increasingly attractive. Bitcoin has become one of the cornerstones of that thesis alongside precious metals.

His latest comments follow a series of increasingly bullish predictions for Bitcoin over the past year, during which he has repeatedly urged investors to accumulate BTC during periods of market weakness rather than wait for new highs.

At press time on June 15, Bitcoin was changing hands at the price of $65,668.40, up 2% on the day, gaining 2.8% across the week, and reducing to 16.2% the losses accumulated over the past month, according to the most recent chart information.

Though economists continue to debate Kiyosaki’s views on monetary policy and inflation, his warnings about currency debasement have made him one of Bitcoin’s most recognizable long-term supporters.

The latest post doesn’t introduce a new prediction but instead reinforces the same message Kiyosaki has repeated for years: hold fewer dollars and increase exposure to assets he believes cannot be inflated away.
