Robert Kiyosaki, author of the best-selling book Rich Dad Poor Dad, is once again making headlines—this time for promoting the idea of using cryptocurrency in real estate investing. Known for his strong opinions on money, wealth, and financial education, Kiyosaki believes that digital currencies and blockchain technology could transform the way people buy, sell, and invest in property.
Speaking from the Virgin Islands, where he’s attending an investor summit for the ninth time, the 78-year-old financial educator shared his latest thoughts. “I’m learning how to use crypto to buy more real estate,” he said, crediting real estate expert Steve Streetman, who recently released a book on the subject.
Robert Kiyosaki, who openly talks about having $1.2 million in debt, says that even at his age, he’s still learning. “Old dogs can always learn new tricks,” he joked. He called the idea of using cryptocurrency in real estate deals “pure genius” and praised the way technology is changing wealth-building strategies.

On X (formerly Twitter), Robert Kiyosaki wrote, “Cyber money makes it easier to get richer with lower risk. Pure genius.” He encouraged his followers to keep learning and adapting, especially as the world moves toward what he described as a “brave, insane new world” of fake money versus real assets like gold, silver, and Bitcoin.
A long-time critic of fiat currency, which he often refers to as “fake money,” Kiyosaki believes that savers are losing out in today’s economy. Instead, he urges people to invest in assets that hold real value—namely gold, silver, and cryptocurrency. He often refers to economic principles like Gresham’s Law and Metcalfe’s Law to explain why digital currencies and hard assets could offer better long-term value.
Robert Kiyosaki ended his message with a warning. “Millions won’t survive the financial crisis,” he wrote. “I want you and your family to thrive while others may not make it. Keep learning, stay prepared, and be smart about your investments.”
With the growing interest in crypto and blockchain in real estate, Kiyosaki’s advice taps into a larger trend of people looking to diversify their portfolios beyond traditional assets.
