Notable investor and author Robert Kiyosaki, widely known for his influential book “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” has made a series of bold predictions regarding the future of various investments, primarily focusing on cryptocurrencies and precious metals. His recent post on social media platform X reveals audacious targets for Bitcoin, Ethereum, silver, and gold, which have generated significant attention and debate among investors.
In his projections, Kiyosaki sets the price of Bitcoin at a striking $250,000 by 2026. As of November 21, Bitcoin’s price was approximately $85,000, reflecting Kiyosaki’s heavily bullish stance on the leading cryptocurrency. Ethereum, currently trading at around $2,800, is projected by Kiyosaki to reach a staggering $60,000. While he did not specify this as his exact target in his post, it’s widely interpreted that he meant $60,000 due to the context of his other predictions.
Kiyosaki also expresses optimism about precious metals, forecasting that silver will rise to $100 per troy ounce next year. In contrast, gold is projected to exceed $27,000 per troy ounce. These projections stand in stark contrast to more conservative estimates from various financial institutions. For example, Bank of America anticipates silver will reach around $65 by 2026, while Citi predicts a decline to $42 per ounce.
The outlook for gold has also been more tempered among analysts. A report from Deutsche Bank raised its gold price forecast for 2026 to an average of $4,000 per ounce. Similarly, UBS positioned its predictions at $4,500 per ounce, with possible fluctuations between a downside of $3,700 and an upside of $4,900. These figures reflect a significant gap when compared to Kiyosaki’s more aggressive forecast.
Adding to the discussion, Geoffrey Kendrick from Standard Chartered suggested in February that Bitcoin could even surpass Kiyosaki’s target, potentially reaching $300,000 by the end of 2026, $400,000 by the end of 2027, and $500,000 by the end of 2028. While these projections seem optimistic, they come in the wake of Bitcoin’s past volatility, particularly after a significant drop from its all-time high of $126,000 earlier in the year.
As investors evaluate Kiyosaki’s bullish projections against the backdrop of traditional financial wisdom and analyst forecasts, the conversation surrounding these predictions underscores a broader debate about the future of both cryptocurrencies and precious metals. Investors are left to ponder whether there is merit in Kiyosaki’s advice or if they should heed the more cautious perspectives from established financial institutions.
