Robert Kiyosaki, the author of the best-selling book Rich Dad Poor Dad, has issued a warning about an impending financial collapse expected in February 2025. Taking to social media, he criticized institutions like the Federal Reserve (Fed), the U.S. Treasury, banks, and Wall Street for excessive money printing, which he claims is exacerbating the economic situation.
Meanwhile, Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, also foresees a deeper correction in Bitcoin’s price, predicting it could fall to the $70,000–$75,000 range.
Kiyosaki’s Bitcoin Prediction Seems on Track
Kiyosaki advises investors to safeguard their wealth by acquiring assets like gold, silver, and Bitcoin, which he considers less vulnerable to inflation-driven devaluation. Furthermore, he underscores that these assets are not subject to central bank manipulation in the same way as the U.S. dollar.
Previously, Kiyosaki predicted that Bitcoin could reach values between $175,000 and $350,000 by 2025, reinforcing his confidence in the cryptocurrency as a store of value amid economic crises.
While Kiyosaki has made similar Bitcoin predictions in the past that have not materialized, his opinions continue to influence discussions about wealth protection strategies.
Bitcoin to $70K Before a Surge, Says Arthur Hayes
It seems the market perspectives of Arthur Hayes and Robert Kiyosaki are aligning.
The BitMEX co-founder predicts that Bitcoin’s price could correct to the $70,000–$75,000 range. Following this “mini crash,” Hayes expects a recovery that could push Bitcoin to $250,000 by the end of 2025. He attributes this forecast to an imminent “mini crash” that, in his view, will trigger new monetary stimulus measures, propelling Bitcoin to new highs.
Recently, Bitcoin experienced a nearly 6% drop, trading below $98,000. This decline occurred despite pro-crypto announcements from U.S. President Donald Trump, including the formation of a crypto policy task force aimed at shaping the industry over the next six months.
Analysts, however, suggest that the growing popularity of the Chinese AI app DeepSeek may have contributed to the widespread sell-off, negatively impacting Bitcoin’s performance.
