Gold and silver are not just hitting records, Robert Kiyosaki says they’re revealing a deeper shift in how money, debt, and trust are being repriced.
Speaking with Kitco News at VRIC 2026, the Rich Dad Poor Dad author weighed in as gold trades above $5,000 and silver holds triple digits. Kiyosaki argued that silver’s move reflects structural pressure, not speculation, calling it “the information age’s metal” and the backbone of modern technology as AI demand accelerates. He warned that silver supply is constrained and difficult to expand, adding, “You can’t find it. That’s the big news.”
Kiyosaki also pointed to the significance of gold and silver rising together, saying that historically this alignment signals stress in fiat systems as capital moves toward hard assets. He highlighted silver’s growing strategic importance, noting its role in technology and defense at a time when governments are reassessing critical materials.
Addressing rumors that he sold his silver to buy Bitcoin, Kiyosaki said he has not sold any silver and rejected the idea of trading hard assets for paper money, which he described as “toilet paper.”

this idea to NEVER sell, which I hear a lot, is a cult mentality. You have to sell at some point or there is no point in holding it, but you want to sell so your wealth can be transferred to a useful asset.
Thanks for video , makes sense !👍
Why where did you find this guy?
did thisd guy sold all silver and buy btc and lost the gain on silver like 4x?
Mexico holds the biggest silver reserves in the planet and it’s bringing back its famous silver coin

My dealer has alot of silver
This guy is a big grifter 💯🙌
Why do you put this clown on your channel? He has predicted the last 10 crashes that never happened. He is just here to sow fear in order to shill his products and services.
I couldn't believe Robert Kiyosaki referred to Trump as his good friend. Epstein files anyone? January 6th. ICE agents beating protestors in Minnesota. Killing of Nicole Good and Alex Pretti. Threats to invade Greenland and economically crush Canada in order to take over that country. Bombing of boats and killing occupants without due process. Baseless prosecution of "enemies". Jailing journalists for doing their jobs, etc, etc, etc. New lies every day. Talk about tone deaf.
I love Rich dad Poor dad, its a great book. After that he have only wanted more easy money. I dont think he aver said something meaningful ever since. He show up in podcast saying nothing, Everything to make money. He is a scam. He would say anyting to make more money!
Keep away from that scammer
if scammers like Robert Kiyosaki open their mouths, nothing good comes out.
We pay taxes and they steal our money and give it all to illegals😊
A Tomahawk has over thirty pounds of silver on each warhead.. Also I heard they're changing the name to Native American war hatchet
this is donney the orange best friend! another scammer!
Where is your integrity? Next you'll have neil mc Coy Ward as a guest speaker. LOL
How can any Viet Nam vet suck t.Rump's draft dodging ass. WTF. Shame on you.
Silver price should be now 300$ , why not 😅😅😅
I love Mr. Kiyosaki's tough rough edge and how he is not afraid to say Trump is his good buddy and how dangerous the Marxist left is.
A lot of smaller retail shops are refusing to buy silver.
He is a living legend .
ai is evil. it must be stopped.
He is just got rich after silver rally prior he was poor dad😂
Kyoski is so full of shit, it is hard to listen to him.
This guy is a clown and everyone knows it! He said he sold all his silver for btc a long time ago. exact roadmap my arse
Just waiting on shipments now not buying until it arrives first
This old man Statment push up rate 🐭
They say "We are capitalists"… And marxists say "Fascism is capitalism in decay". Exactly what we are seeing in the USA right now…
Same jacket in severl interviews!!!!!
Same Questions same answers
Are we in parallel reality
Boring . He just rants about things he does not understand.
Robert Kiyosaki is a fraud – he sold it all and purchased BTC at the wrong time ROFLMAO
Kitco shouldn't have a guest like this. It demeans and loses your credibility.
hey Robert, trump DID NOT get shot.
false flags….problem-reaction-solution.
you know a lot but you are clueless on many things.
Liar
Xaro Xhoan Daxos Said he had all the wealth of the world in his vault, till it was opened and found to be a lie., I am sure they will ship his gold immediately to him when the poop hits the fan. Honestly at his age, I hope he enjoys the remainder of his life! Thank you for your Service! Rob
Go to local dealers, they so much they’re not buying anymore
I turned it off as soon as he said Trump is his buddy.
Gold is not safe in Switzerland. The Europeans are about to collapse without their American daddies. The Pax Americana is over. Of course, Russia will go for the gold reserves wherever they are in Europe. In fact, gold is one of the few reasons the Ruskies would even advance west. Europe has NOTHING worth conquering except gold. The more you know. 🤠
He didn’t answer any question. Just self praise stories
Very little substance from kiyosaki. "Im friends with that bum rickards" doesn't count. Anywayzzz our global economic system is not capitalism, its socialism for the rich. Kiyosaki is a cantillonaire, one of the socialists that benefit greatly from having close access to the money printer and investing in the stock market (inflated by the Fed and the global reserve currency). Comprende? 🤠
there is plenty of silver around
Kiyosake joins the Taco club.
