Robert Kiyosaki Stays Bullish on Silver, Predicts $200 by 2026

Robert Kiyosaki, author of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," expressed indifference to short-term price fluctuations in gold, silver, and Bitcoin. He emphasizes long-term holding due to the rising US national debt and decreasing purchasing power of the dollar. Kiyosaki believes policy errors by the Federal Reserve and US government make hard assets a safer choice.

Silver as a Strong Investment

  • Kiyosaki is particularly optimistic about silver, viewing it as superior to gold because of its dual role as currency and industrial metal.
  • Silver's price increased from $5 per ounce in 1990 to approximately $92 per ounce in 2026.
  • Kiyosaki predicts silver could reach $200 per ounce by the end of 2026, though he acknowledges potential inaccuracy in this forecast.

Rising Interest in Cryptocurrencies

  • Santiment data indicates a surge in crypto-related social discussions, surpassing mentions of gold and silver.
  • Despite lagging prices, Bitcoin discussions have intensified, suggesting a potential shift back to cryptos.
  • Over the past year, silver gained 214%, gold rose 77%, while Bitcoin decreased by 16%.

Bitcoin Market Update

  • Bitcoin remains below $90,000, with network growth at its lowest since 2022.
  • Liquidity is declining sharply, similar to conditions before a major consolidation phase in 2022.
  • Recent rallies have been fueled by small-cap tokens rather than Bitcoin, indicating speculation rather than significant adoption.
  • For sustainable growth, Bitcoin needs to regain dominance, improve liquidity, and show stronger network growth.
