Robert Kiyosaki, the prominent author behind the bestselling book “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” has voiced serious concerns regarding escalating civil unrest in the United States, attributing it to significant economic distress and societal divisions.
In a recent update on X, Kiyosaki declared, “Civil War has begun. ICE raids in Los Angeles erupt into mass violence… I believe we and the world are in for a long, hot violent summer.” This alarm comes at a time when political polarization and economic instability are on the rise.
Kiyosaki Connects Current Turmoil to ‘Fourth Turning’ Crisis
Kiyosaki connects the unrest to the theory of the “fourth turning” proposed by historians William Strauss and Neil Howe, which suggests that society undergoes cyclical periods of crisis that reshape its foundational structures. Previous instances of this phenomenon include the Great Depression, World War II, the Civil War, and the American Revolution.
The author argues that the contemporary upheaval is fueled by public resentment towards central banking practices, particularly the ongoing policies of money printing and rising inflation. He contends that these measures are systematically depleting public wealth, which he characterizes as a form of institutional theft.
“The issue is our bankers are stealing the wealth of the people via fake money, counterfeit money the central bankers print,” he stated emphatically. Kiyosaki asserts that this era is concluding and advocates turning to alternative investments as a remedy.
The financial guru urges individuals to safeguard their financial futures by investing in tangible assets. He emphasizes that “sound money, gold, silver, and Bitcoin take away the power from the corrupt bankers,” designating gold and silver as “God’s money” and Bitcoin as “people’s money.”

Kiyosaki’s remarks underscore his long-held view that conventional financial systems are fundamentally flawed. Amidst forewarnings of ongoing violence and societal turbulence, he champions financial autonomy, encouraging his followers to “become your own bank” and abandon savings in what he calls “fake money.”
Kiyosaki Forecasts $1 Million Bitcoin by Next Decade
An enduring proponent of hard assets, Kiyosaki sees Bitcoin as a crucial safeguard against inflation and a reliable method for preserving wealth over time. He recently predicted that Bitcoin’s price could soar to between $180,000 and $200,000 by the close of this year.
Looking ahead, Kiyosaki projects that Bitcoin could reach the astonishing value of $1 million in the next decade, while also anticipating that gold will soar to $30,000 per ounce and silver to $3,000.
Notably, Kiyosaki is not alone in his bullish outlook on Bitcoin. Shunyet Jan, the Head of Derivatives at Bybit, has also forecasted that Bitcoin could hit $125,000 by the end of the second quarter if current trends continue. Similarly, crypto analyst Scott Melker believes that institutional demand and a maturing market structure could propel Bitcoin to as high as $250,000 by the end of 2025.
