Robert Kiyosaki Reveals Asset Strategies to Safeguard Against Fed’s ‘Criminal’ Policies

Renowned investor and author Robert Kiyosaki has issued a stark warning about the actions of the U.S. Federal Reserve and Treasury, which he characterises as “criminal.” In a recent episode of his The Rich Dad Channel podcast, Kiyosaki discussed strategies to safeguard wealth in light of what he views as problematic financial policies.

Kiyosaki's Concerns and Recommendations

Kiyosaki criticised the Fed’s practice of quantitative easing (QE), describing it as unconstitutional. QE involves the central bank purchasing securities such as government bonds and mortgage-backed securities to increase the money supply and stimulate the economy. Kiyosaki argued that this policy undermines the constitutionality of the Fed and merges its role with that of the U.S. Treasury.

To protect against these policies, Kiyosaki recommended investing in gold, silver, and cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). He stated:

“In this era of unlimited QE, where the Fed is buying everything, including junk bonds, which violates the Fed's constitutional role — and the Fed and the US Treasury are now one. So, in my opinion, the most important investments today are gold, silver, and Bitcoin, or the crypto market.”

Advocating for Alternatives

Kiyosaki highlighted that these assets are outside the traditional financial system, making them immune to interference from the Fed and Treasury. He referred to holders of gold, silver, and cryptocurrencies as “rebels” against the current financial regime, noting:

“Anybody who is in either gold, silver, or Bitcoin, we’re basically rebels. Bitcoin or Ethereum — it’s open source, it means the Fed cannot mess with it, nor can the Treasury, nor can a politician, and that’s why I endorse both products.”

He emphasised that these assets should be seen as insurance policies rather than investments, suggesting that the aggressive monetary policies of the Fed could lead to unprecedented levels of money printing.

Current Market Performance

As of August 9, the assets Kiyosaki advocates are performing well. Bitcoin has recently traded above the critical $60,000 level, gold has returned to over $2,420 per ounce, and silver is priced around $27.60 per ounce.

Kiyosaki’s advice underscores the importance of doing thorough research and understanding the risks associated with investing in these markets. As with any financial decision, staying informed and evaluating personal risk tolerance is crucial.
