Rich Dad Poor Dad author warns of ‘fake money’

Robert Kiyosaki warns Americans to abandon “fake money,” echoing Ron Paul’s call to end the Fed and urging a shift to gold, silver, and Bitcoin as a defense against socialism and financial corruption.

Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, is sounding the alarm — again.

This time, he’s backing up former U.S. Congressman Ron Paul, the longtime critic of the Federal Reserve, and urging Americans to ditch what he calls “fake money” for gold, silver, and Bitcoin.

“WORDS of WISDOM from former US Congressman Ron Paul,” Kiyosaki wrote on X. “Author of ‘End the Fed’ and advocate for ending the Fed, all Central Banks, and getting back to a sound honest money system.”

Bitcoin is up 9.6% over the past week, trading at $103,646 as of the latest data from Kraken. The leading cryptocurrency has also gained 1.1% in the past 24 hours, with a 24-hour trading volume of over $34.2 billion.

“A central bank setting interest rates is price fixing and a form of central planning.”

Kiyosaki says that’s not just bad economics — it’s socialism in disguise.

“Price fixing is a tool of socialism and central planning is pure Marxism… and is designed to steal your wealth, destroy production, steal our freedoms, and open the doors for a socialist take over.”

Kiyosaki didn't stop there. He issued a blunt warning about what he sees as a broken system run by dishonest leaders and institutions:

“Simply said fake money leads to dishonest money, dishonest statistics, dishonest accounting, dishonest balance sheets, dishonest compensation, dishonest relations, dishonest leaders, and corruption in everyday life.”

And his call to action? Crystal clear. “My suggestion: Don’t be a loser. Don’t let left wing academic socialists win. Fight back. Save your freedom. Don’t work or save fake money. Get on your own decentralized gold, silver, and Bitcoin standard.”

Robert Kiyosaki has been a longtime supporter of Bitcoin, often calling it a safer alternative to what he describes as "fake money" created by central banks. He regularly groups Bitcoin with gold and silver, encouraging people to use it as a way to protect their wealth.

Kiyosaki's tips to get rich

Rich Dad Poor Dad is a book by Robert Kiyosaki that teaches the basics of money, investing, and financial independence. It’s based on lessons Kiyosaki learned from two father figures: his own dad (the "Poor Dad") who followed the traditional path of working hard, getting a job, and saving money — and his best friend’s dad (the "Rich Dad") who taught him how money really works through investing, business, and making money work for you.

The book focuses on financial education and explains why schools don’t teach people how to be rich. Kiyosaki shares simple lessons about assets vs. liabilities, building passive income, and thinking like an investor. The main idea is that working for money won’t make you rich — owning assets and gaining financial knowledge will.
