After recounting her answers that government money creation could weaken purchasing power, Kiyosaki expressed his preference: “I only want money the government cannot print.” That statement reinforces his support for bitcoin within a wider investment strategy. His broader asset preferences included gold, silver, ethereum, and oil in June. In the latest comment, he presented ownership of cryptocurrency and precious metals as preparation for monetary instability, linking his bullish position to protection against currency devaluation. Purchasing Power Drives His Bitcoin Preference Kiyosaki’s criticism centers on the risk that cash savings lose buying power even when their dollar balance remains unchanged. He…

Trump has occasionally said “every U.S. Citizen,” which would push…
