Hold onto your wallets, folks, because Robert Kiyosaki, the man who taught us the difference between rich dads and poor dads, is back with another prophecy. This time, he's predicting the mother of all stock market crashes, which he claims will put pricey assets like houses, gold, and everyone's favorite digital darling, Bitcoin, on sale.

Kiyosaki, never one to mince words, took to social media to remind us of his 2013 prediction about this impending financial apocalypse. According to him, this crash is the result of decisions made during the 2008 financial crisis, when bailing out banks was apparently more important than helping everyday folks.

"I WARNED Y’all," he declared. "That CRASH is NOW." And if that wasn't enough doom and gloom, he also mentioned that the car and housing markets, restaurants, retailers, and even wine sales are taking a nosedive. Oh, and did we mention the world might be on the brink of war? Yikes.

But fear not! Kiyosaki sees this as a golden opportunity. "Please be smart," he advises. "Many expensive assets will go on sale. I’ll be buying more real assets with fake US dollars." Well, at least someone's optimistic!

Bitcoin, meanwhile, has taken a tumble, dropping from over 101,700 to 95,370—a nearly 7% dip. But Kiyosaki isn't fazed. In fact, he's thrilled. "BITCOIN crashing. Great news," he quipped. "Remember ‘Buy low…and HODL.’"

Experts are linking this crypto correction to the downturn in US stocks like Nvidia and Tesla. Greeks.live, a crypto options platform, noted the correlation and suggested that now might be a good time to snag some discounted BTC.

Bloomberg's Eric Balchunas chimed in, pointing out that US stock market woes are Bitcoin's kryptonite. He's skeptical that Bitcoin can rise if stocks are sinking, but hey, stranger things have happened.

Crypto analyst Adam Cochran added his two cents, saying that while crypto is ripe for a breakout, it's being held back by a "larger economic drag." Meanwhile, the recent Bitcoin dip has led to widespread liquidations, with over 236,481 traders liquidating a whopping $693.52 million in the past 24 hours.

So, what's the takeaway? While some see the current market chaos as a chance to buy assets at a discount, others are playing it safe, wary of the macroeconomic storm clouds on the horizon. As always in the wild crypto world, it's anyone's guess what will happen next!

Bitcoin's 2025 Price Rocket: What's Fueling the Ascent?

Hold onto your digital hats, Bitcoin enthusiasts, because 2025 could be the year Bitcoin's price blasts off to the moon—again. With several catalysts in play, the crypto world is buzzing with anticipation.

The Halving Hype

First up, we have the fourth halving of Bitcoin's mining rewards, which took place last April. Think of it as Bitcoin's version of a diet plan, where the rewards for minting new coins are cut in half. This slimming down isn't just for show; it tweaks Bitcoin's entire economic model. Miners still face the same hefty bills, but the flow of fresh Bitcoins slows to a trickle.

Without a price boost, miners might find themselves in a financial pickle, unable to keep the blockchain party going. Since mining is important for validating and publishing Bitcoin transactions, the stakes are high. Historically, Bitcoin has a knack for soaring post-halving, usually after a fashionably late arrival of 9 to 12 months.

Rich Dad's Latest Bitcoin and Economic Forecasts: A Recap

Recently (on Dec. 27), Robert Kiyosaki took to social media platform X to reiterate his views on Bitcoin, the U.S. dollar, and the global economy. Kiyosaki, whose book has sold over 32 million copies worldwide, expressed confidence in Bitcoin but skepticism towards Blackrock's involvement, suggesting they were suppressing prices for whale buyers. He reaffirmed his bold prediction of Bitcoin reaching $350K by 2025, advising followers to "buy, buy, buy" instead of lamenting price drops.

I will keep buying more bitcoin because bitcoin going higher. I predict bitcoin to hit $350K in 2025.

Kiyosaki also sounded alarms about the U.S. dollar's waning role in oil transactions, urging investment in gold. Reflecting on global economic conditions, he warned of a potential downturn, urging financial prudence and emphasizing the enduring value of gold, silver, and Bitcoin during economic upheavals. His message was clear: embrace the opportunity to grow wealth and wisdom in uncertain times.
