Robert Kiyosaki, renowned author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has never been shy about his views on money—and in a recent post on X, he opened up about his personal journey with Bitcoin. Despite being seen as a crypto advocate today, Kiyosaki admitted he was late to the game, buying his first Bitcoin at $6,000—a price that seemed high at the time. Now, with Bitcoin trading around $107,000, he shared one clear takeaway: he wishes he had bought more.
In his post, Kiyosaki confessed that his early reluctance to buy more Bitcoin, gold, and silver stemmed from being too caught up in the traditional concept of fiat currency, which he often refers to as “fake money.” That mindset, he said, prevented him—and many others—from pursuing their financial goals sooner.
He likened the feeling to the regret many people experience later in life when they realize they never chased their dreams. For Kiyosaki, the regret isn’t just about money—it’s about missing opportunities due to hesitation and short-term thinking.
Despite Bitcoin’s steep rise in price, Kiyosaki isn’t backing down. In fact, he’s still buying. He explained that if Bitcoin reaches $1 million, today’s $107,000 price will look like a bargain in hindsight—just as $6,000 does now.
His advice? Stop fixating on the price. Kiyosaki argues that wealthy individuals focus on how much they own, not the daily fluctuations. “Poor people think about price. Rich people think about quantity,” he wrote. Whether it’s gold, silver, or Bitcoin, he sees accumulation over time as the winning strategy—not trying to time the market perfectly.
Kiyosaki also had words of encouragement for small-scale investors. Even if someone can only afford to buy one Satoshi—the smallest divisible unit of Bitcoin—he believes they’ll be thankful they did.
“If you can only buy one Satoshi today, do it,” he said. “In five years, you’ll be glad you did.”
That long-term view is supported by historical data. Bitcoin has doubled in value every 4–5 years, and a 2023 MIT study showed that adding crypto to a portfolio could reduce long-term risk by up to 15%, particularly when balanced with traditional assets.
Kiyosaki made it clear that he doesn’t know for certain whether Bitcoin will reach $1 million, but his experience tells him that every past price point ends up looking cheap with time. Today’s price, he believes, will one day feel the same way.
He now sees Bitcoin not just as an asset, but as something “priceless”—a long-term store of value that transcends the daily noise of market charts.
