Robert Kiyosaki’s been making waves again, and this time, he’s not the “crypto king” he once appeared to be. On Monday, the "Rich Dad Poor Dad" author took a step back from the Bitcoin hype train and threw out a bearish prediction that had crypto enthusiasts shaking their heads. He’s now calling for the Bitcoin “bubble” to burst soon, and he’s including gold and silver in that prediction.

“Bubbles are about to start busting,” Kiyosaki stated, and, oh boy, he’s predicting a rough ride for Bitcoin, gold, and silver when it all pops. But here’s the kicker: when that happens, that’s when Kiyosaki’s going to swoop in and buy. Interesting approach, right?

It’s hard to forget his earlier comments celebrating Bitcoin’s all-time high above $120,000 last week, where he couldn't resist rubbing it in for those who didn’t “pull the trigger” earlier. At the time, he even warned about getting too greedy, quoting his favorite saying, “Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered.” Kiyosaki mentioned he’d buy one more Bitcoin to get fatter, but he clarified that he’d hold off until he figured out where the economy was headed.

Is Bitcoin Really a Bubble or Just Another Market Cycle?

But wait, fast forward to now, and Kiyosaki’s saying a totally different thing. His latest comments seem to contradict his earlier defense of Bitcoin. Remember that tweet from early July where he mocked “clickbait losers” warning about Bitcoin crashes? Yeah, that’s the one. He had zero patience for those trying to spook investors. Now, he's on the other side of the fence, predicting a bust.

Now, I’m no Kiyosaki, but it’s hard not to wonder: Is this guy just trying to cover his bases, or does he have a point? His back-and-forth on Bitcoin isn’t the only thing raising eyebrows. His past predictions about market crashes haven’t exactly aged like fine wine. The “Brew Markets” newsletter points out that Kiyosaki’s repeated doom-and-gloom calls about crypto crashes have missed the mark more than once. And there’s some chatter that Bitcoin treasuries could, indeed, show bubble-like signs if the market takes a sharp downturn.

However, not everyone’s biting on that narrative. Joe Burnett, director of Bitcoin Strategy, came in hot, arguing that Bitcoin isn’t a bubble. He explained that companies buying Bitcoin aren’t using their capital to experiment or chase trends, they’re putting their money into an actual, valuable asset. Sounds like a solid defense, doesn’t it?

But let’s pause here for a second. If you’re thinking about diving into Bitcoin, Apollo Capital’s Henrik Andersson has some words of wisdom: “Do your own research, don’t just follow the influencers.” I mean, isn’t that always the case? We’ve heard that Bitcoin’s a bubble and a scam every year since it was born, so why should this year be any different?

So, what does the future look like for Bitcoin? Well, if history repeats itself, 2025 could mark the peak of another bull market cycle for Bitcoin. Analysts are predicting it could hit anywhere between $130,000 and $200,000 by the end of this year. That’s a lot of room to grow, or crash, depending on how you look at it. And according to CoinGlass, the bull market signal dashboard doesn’t see the top anytime soon, with none of the 30 indicators suggesting the peak is near.

Could Bitcoin really be on the verge of a bubble bursting? Or is it just part of the classic market cycle? Only time will tell. But as always, do your own research, because let’s face it, no one’s got a crystal ball.
