Robert Kiyosaki doesn’t whisper warnings. He blasts them through a megaphone.
Today, he sounded the alarm again, tweeting: “THE END is HERE… The Fed held an auction for US Bonds and no one showed up.” He claims the Fed had to quietly buy $50 billion worth of bonds itself—essentially printing money to buy its own IOUs. His message? Hyperinflation is coming. The dollar is dying. And your safest bet? Gold, silver, and especially Bitcoin.
It’s a scary message—but it’s also part of a much bigger story.
Let’s back up for a second.
U.S. Debt Wobbles—And Confidence with It
Moody’s, the last of the “Big Three” credit rating agencies, just downgraded the U.S. from its top-tier AAA rating. That’s not just symbolic—it’s a red flag for investors globally. It says, “Hey, maybe lending to the U.S. government isn’t as risk-free as we thought.”
Now, with that downgrade still fresh, the U.S. Treasury tried to auction $16 billion in 20-year bonds this week. It’s the first test of investor confidence since the downgrade. Everyone on Wall Street was watching.
And the turnout?
Well, it wasn’t a disaster, but it was shaky enough to rattle nerves. Yields on 20- and 30-year Treasuries are hovering around 5%. That’s high, and usually, high yields mean one of two things: either investors expect inflation, or they’re demanding more return to take on more risk. Or both.
That brings us back to Kiyosaki.
When Trust Breaks, Bitcoin Rises
He paints the picture in blunt terms: nobody wants U.S. debt anymore, so the Fed is bailing itself out with monopoly money. And when you flood the system with dollars, you devalue each one already out there. That’s how inflation snowballs—and eventually explodes into hyperinflation.
Whether or not we’re already there is up for debate. But it’s clear: trust in U.S. fiscal stability is shaking. And that’s exactly the kind of environment where decentralized assets thrive.
Bitcoin wasn’t born during peacetime. It was created as a direct response to financial system failure. When banks were bailed out in 2008, Bitcoin offered an alternative: a limited, borderless, permissionless asset immune to central bank printing presses.
Now in 2025, Bitcoin isn’t some fringe tech experiment. It’s trading like digital gold—and more and more people are starting to view it as exactly that.
Kiyosaki is betting big: he says Bitcoin could hit $500,000 to $1 million.
That sounds extreme even with the current BTC rally. But then again, so does the idea of the world’s largest economy printing money to buy its own debt.
Maybe Kiyosaki’s tone is theatrical. Maybe he’s early. But the underlying point is hard to ignore: the old system is under pressure. And crypto—especially Bitcoin—might just be the most compelling backup plan we’ve got.
