Rich Dad Poor Dad Author has a new favorite — and it’s not Bitcoin
Renowned author and financial educator Robert Kiyosaki is sounding the alarm on what he believes to be the most undervalued asset of our time — silver.
The Rich Dad, Poor Dad author on April 3 declared on X (formerly Twitter) that he favors silver over both Bitcoin and gold, citing a powerful mix of industrial demand, shrinking supply, and long-term price suppression as reasons for his bullish stance.
“I say yes. BECAUSE: Demand for silver is increasing for use in: Solar Panels, Electronic Vehicles, Computers, Electronic products, Weapon Systems, Medicine, Water Purification... Supplies of gold and Bitcoin do not decrease… Yet silver supplies decreasing.”
Silver’s industrial edge
While gold is traditionally seen as a store of value and Bitcoin as digital gold, Kiyosaki noted that silver’s utility gives it an unmatched edge. Its use spans multiple booming sectors, from renewable energy to electronics and healthcare. And with green energy demand set to rise sharply through 2025, the industrial pull on silver is only growing.
Yet despite this, silver remains significantly undervalued relative to its peers. As Kiyosaki points out, “Silver is the least expensive when compared to gold and Bitcoin. As the price of gold breaks all time highs... Silver’s price remains 60% below its all time high.”
Price suppression and the 'sling shot'
Kiyosaki believes silver’s underperformance isn’t accidental — rather, it’s the product of decades of price suppression to keep the metal affordable for industrial buyers. But with increasing demand and falling mine production, he thinks that manipulation is coming to an end.
“I believe silver’s price manipulation is over. I strongly believe the price of silver will ‘sling shot’ to all time new highs… possibly 2X to $70 an ounce in 2025.”
Bitcoin vs. silver: who wins in 2025?
As of April 3, Bitcoin is trading at approximately $83,063, reflecting a decline of about 2% from the previous close, per Kraken’s feed . The day's trading range has seen a high of $88,398 and a low of $82,162.
This downturn is occurring amid market reactions to the recent announcement of new U.S. import tariffs by President Donald Trump.
These tariffs have introduced uncertainty into the financial markets, impacting various asset classes, including cryptocurrencies. On the same day, silver prices have experienced a decline. According to FXStreet data, silver is trading at $32.75 per troy ounce, down 3.52% from the previous day's price of $33.94.
