The author of the popular book “Rich Dad Poor Dad”, Robert Kiyosaki, claims that the US dollar is dying. He advised Americans to use the money the government distributes and invest in Bitcoin or precious metals.
On his account Twitter, which has over 1.3 million followers, Kiyosaki said:
“The dollar is dying. People desperately need money. It’s very sad. If the government gives you free money, take it and spend it wisely. Don’t save. Buy gold, silver, Bitcoin. The dollar dies. “
Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter published the book “Rich Dad Poor Dad” in 1997 and have since sold over 32 million copies. The book has been translated into 51 languages and distributed in 109 countries.
The main topic is the importance of financial literacy, financial independence and wealth building through different methods. Basically, Kiyosaki argues that financial education is essential for personal well-being.
Bitcoin or precious metals
This is not the first time the author has promoted Bitcoin. He has previously criticized US dollar-based economic policies, saying:
“The dollar is about to disappear, because gold and silver and cybernetics are about to replace it.”
Kiyosaki also explained the effect that free money will have on the economy. While stressing that most people want their money, he asked: “What is the price of free money?”
Re-assuming the role of financial literacy teacher, Kiyosaki explained:
“Money is an idea supported by trust, representing the value of the work submitted, in a format that can be traded. If people are paid not to work, this destroys confidence in the role of the dollar and decreases its value. Trust in gold, silver and cryptocurrencies, as they have value for the population. ”
