Robert Kiyosaki Warns Of ‘Fake Money’ Collapse – Backs Bitcoin, Ethereum As ‘Safest Investment’ For 2026

• In a post on X, Robert Kiyosaki stated that continued money creation by governments will erode the value of fiat currencies over time.
• He called  U.S. government bonds and their perceived safety one of the “biggest lies” in modern investing.
• In addition to Bitcoin and Ethereum, Koyosaki also backed real gold, real silver, oil and food among the “safest investments” for 2026.

Robert Kiyosaki said on Monday that Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) are among the “safest investments” for the year amid rising debt, persistent inflation, and geopolitical instability that could threaten the value of traditional assets. 

“If something could be printed, it was fake,” the 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' author wrote in a post on X, adding that continued government money creation is likely to drive inflation higher over time. “That means real gold, real silver, oil, food, Bitcoin, and Ethereum are for me, the safest investments for 2026.”

US Bonds Are Not Safe

According to Kiyosaki, national debt is set to rise as government’s continue to print “fake money,” which in turn, will lead to heightened inflation. He added that the war in Iran and the resulting surge in oil prices is also an inflationary event. 

Kiyosaki also dismissed traditional safe-haven assets such as government bonds, stating that the concept of “U.S. bonds are safe” is one of the “biggest lies” in modern investing. “In this global oil, debt, bond, money, banking and inflation crisis, the only thing that keeps you safe is you and the financial education you choose to put between your ears,” he wrote.
