Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki repeats call to buy gold, silver, bitcoin; warns of imminent crash

Economic Times5 days ago
Robert Kiyosaki, the author of the best-selling personal finance book Rich Dad Poor Dad, has once again urged investors to move away from fiat currencies and instead accumulate real assets like gold, silver, and Bitcoin.
ADVERTISEMENT In his latest post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Kiyosaki reiterated his long-standing criticism of central banks and warned that the world is headed towards a major financial collapse.
Urging his followers to avoid fiat currency, he added: 'Stop saving FAKE $' and advised: 'Start saving real gold, silver, Bitcoin.'
In his post, Kiyosaki referred to his well-known principle, stating: 'RICH DADs RULE: 'Savers are Losers.''He argued that every time the US Federal Reserve encounters a financial crisis, its response is to "PRINT fake $", citing historical instances such as the 1987 Market Crash, 1998 LTCM collapse, 2019 Repo Market seizure, COVID-19 pandemic, and the Silicon Valley Bank crash as evidence of the central bank's repeated monetary expansion.

ADVERTISEMENT 'It's not a new crisis.... It's the same crisis getting bigger,' Kiyosaki wrote, underscoring his view that systemic issues in the financial system are compounding over time.In the same post, Kiyosaki called on investors to protect their wealth, warning that 'America is the biggest debtor nation in history... because of the FED.' He concluded his message with his earlier prediction: 'The Biggest Crash in history is coming….soon.'
ADVERTISEMENT Kiyosaki has been consistently vocal in recommending precious metals and cryptocurrencies as a hedge against what he perceives as unsustainable monetary policies by the Federal Reserve.In an earlier post on X, Kiyosaki had also forecasted that silver prices could double from current levels, reinforcing his bullish stance on the metal. He asserted that silver was still significantly undervalued and that investors should consider adding it to their portfolios.
ADVERTISEMENT This latest warning from the finance author adds to his series of public statements over recent months, where he has expressed concerns about the stability of the US economy, the rising debt levels, and the potential devaluation of fiat currency due to what he terms 'money printing'.Kiyosaki's message to investors remains consistent: avoid storing wealth in cash, which he calls "fake money", and focus instead on acquiring tangible assets like gold, silver, and Bitcoin as a means of wealth preservation.

Edelweiss MF CEO Radhika Gupta slams fashion brand for selling Lucknowi mukaish overcoat for Rs 1.7 cr: ‘World loves Indian craftsmanship but..'

Indian craftsmanship , long admired on the global stage, serves as a rich source of inspiration for numerous international fashion and lifestyle labels. However, the true creators behind these intricate works—skilled artisans—are often overlooked, living in the shadows without recognition or reward. Despite the international reverence for their art, the artisans themselves remain nameless, and their contributions are unacknowledged. Recently, Radhika Gupta, CEO of Edelweiss Mutual Fund and a known advocate for creative integrity, publicly criticized a well-known luxury fashion brand for exploiting India's iconic Lucknowi mukaish embroidery. This traditional technique, rooted in cultural heritage and meticulous craftsmanship, was allegedly used in one of the brand's high-end coats—priced at an exorbitant $200,000 (approximately Rs 1.7 crore)—without any credit to the original artists or reference to its Indian origins.

According to her, the elaborate coat was the result of the efforts of 12 Indian artisans who spent 34 days crafting the embroidery. Despite the time, skill, and heritage invested in the piece, the brand failed to acknowledge the origin of the art form or the artists who made it possible. Gupta highlighted how this is a recurring issue in global fashion—Indian crafts are often celebrated visually but stripped of their backstory and the rightful credit to the creators. "12 Indian artisans. 34 days of work. No credit. No context. No mention of India. The world loves Indian craftsmanship—but rarely credits the craftspeople. And almost never shares the value," she lamented. She stressed that while the world continues to benefit from Indian aesthetics, the power to shape narratives, pricing, and branding remains with those outside the country. This imbalance means that while the finished product dazzles on global runways, the hands that built it remain invisible. Mukaish embroidery, deeply embedded in the history of Lucknow, involves weaving metallic threads into fabric to form delicate, web-like designs. Known locally as fardi ka kaam , this embroidery creates striking geometric textures. Traditionally combined with chikankari, another Lucknow-based hand embroidery, mukaish is considered a vanishing art. Few artisans continue to pursue it today, and even fewer receive the credit they deserve. Gupta called upon India to transform from merely a supplier of materials to a powerful storyteller of its heritage. Just as Japan and Korea leveraged design and pop culture to build global influence, India, she argued, should assert its cultural authority through its rich and unparalleled crafts. Ask ChatGPT

What Is 9K Gold? Live Events The government recently notified hallmarking for 9 karat gold jewellery, a move welcomed by the jewellery industry. Until now, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) had hallmarking norms for 24K, 23K, 22K, 20K, 18K, and 14K gold. The new 9K hallmarking standard is expected to revive demand for lightweight gold jewellery , especially as high gold prices have pushed many consumers away from traditional purchases. In June, gold sales by volume dropped 60%, marking the steepest fall since the Covid-19 pandemic. Price Difference: 9K vs 24K Gold At present, 9K gold is priced at around ?37,000 per 10 grams, significantly lower than the ?97,828 per 10 grams for 24K gold. Including 3% GST, the retail price of 9K gold is approximately ?38,110 per 10 grams. The introduction of hallmarking for 9K gold comes just ahead of the festive and wedding season, a crucial time for gold sales. Demand typically rises from Raksha Bandhan in August through Diwali and into the winter wedding season beginning in November. India consumes 800–850 tonnes of gold annually, with nearly 60% of this demand coming from rural areas, according to IBJA. Since the Russia-Ukraine war, gold prices have surged over 25% in the last year. In response, many jewellers have started offering 9K jewellery to appeal to budget-conscious customers.

Russia Begins Monthly Direct Flights To North Korea Amid Ukraine Conflict

Russia on Sunday began direct commercial flights to North Korea, in a further sign of closer ties with its Asian ally helping its offensive in Ukraine. The first Moscow-Pyongyang flight, operated by Nordwind Airlines, was scheduled to take off at 1600 GMT and land in the North Korean capital some eight hours later, according to the carrier's website. Nordwind Airlines -- a company that used to serve holiday destinations in Europe before the EU imposed a ban on Russian flights -- had tickets priced at 45,000 rubles ($570). Russia's state news agency TASS reported that the first flight going the other way, from Pyongyang to Moscow, would take place on Tuesday. Russia's transport ministry said the route would be serviced once a month. Russia and North Korea restored train links on June 17 after suspending them in 2020 during the Covid pandemic. The two countries have been forging closer military bonds in recent years, with Pyongyang supplying troops and weapons for Russia to use in its military operations in Ukraine. They signed a mutual defence pact last year, when Russian President Vladimir Putin visited North Korea. North Korea confirmed for the first time in April that it had deployed a contingent of its soldiers to the frontline in Ukraine, alongside Russian troops.
