Robert Kiyosaki has again urged followers to move away from cash and into hard assets. Summary Robert Kiyosaki renewed his cash warning while promoting gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum as alternative assets. Bitcoin and Ethereum remain under pressure after June’s selloff, ETF outflows, and broader macro stress. Market attention continues to rise on growing fear, but stronger demand still requires confirmation from sustained buying activity. In a June 13 post on X, the Rich Dad Poor Dad author asked how much a trillion dollars is, then used the answer to attack dollar savings. Kiyosaki wrote that “cash is trash” and said savers of dollars lose purchasing power. He told followers to consider gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum. His post framed the U.S. dollar as vulnerable because, in his view, the Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury can create money quickly. His trillion-dollar example also served as a simple visual for readers. By comparing one dollar per minute with the creation of new money, Kiyosaki tried to make a large number feel personal. The post did not include a detailed investment plan. It focused on the idea that cash loses value when supply expands. That framing matches his usual criticism of fiat money. It also fits his asset-focused brand publicly online. HOW MUCH is a $ TRILLION?A trillion is a 1 with 12 zeros after it.$1,000,000,000,000If you were to spend $1 a minute it would take you 34,000 years to spend.It takes the Fed and US Treasury less than a minute to print $1 trillion.Get the picture?Savers of dollars are…— Robert Kiyosaki (@theRealKiyosaki) June 12, 2026 Bitcoin and Ethereum remain under pressure The warning arrived during a weak period for crypto markets. Bitcoin traded near $64,569 on June 14, while Ethereum traded near $1,674, according to market data. Both assets remained far below their 2025 cycle highs after a sharp June selloff. As previously reported by crypto.news, the June crypto crash came from several pressures at once. The report cited a hawkish Federal Reserve, U.S.-Iran tensions, ETF outflows, and a leverage unwind. Bitcoin fell from above $80,000 to below $62,000 during that period, while Ethereum moved toward $1,500. Gold and Bitcoin split safe-haven debate Kiyosaki has often grouped gold, silver, and Bitcoin as alternatives to fiat money. His latest post also added Ethereum to that list. The argument fits his long-running view that inflation and monetary expansion reduce the value of cash savings over time. Crypto.news has also tracked the changing relationship between Bitcoin and gold. In May, crypto.news reported that Bitcoin had outperformed gold by roughly 35% to 36% on a relative basis since the start of the 2026 Iran conflict. That report said Bitcoin acted more like a risk-sensitive alternative store of value than a classic crisis hedge. Market stress keeps investors cautious Recent fund flows still show caution. As previously reported, U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded 13 straight trading days of net outflows from May 15 through June 3. About $4.37 billion left the products during that streak. Ethereum also faced pressure from weak demand. As crypto.news reported on June 12, spot Ethereum ETFs lost $15.89 million on June 11, extending outflows for three sessions. ETH traded near $1,652 at that time as geopolitical risk and weak technical structure kept buyers cautious. Kiyosaki’s post adds a familiar voice to the wider debate over cash, inflation, and scarce assets. It does not change the short-term market setup. Bitcoin and Ethereum still need stronger demand, calmer macro conditions, and better fund flows to confirm a steadier recovery.
