‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ Author Predicts Bitcoin Will Surpass the US Dollar, Citing Economic Principles

Highlights:

• Robert Kiyosaki believes Bitcoin outshines the US dollar, citing Gresham’s and Metcalfe’s Laws.
• Gresham’s Law shows bad money pushes good money into hiding, with Bitcoin leading.
• Metcalfe’s Law explains Bitcoin’s network growth boosts its value and influence.

Robert Kiyosaki, the American financial analyst and author of “Rich Dad and Poor Dad,” recently posted on X (formerly Twitter) about Bitcoin’s potential to surpass the US dollar. He highlights Gresham’s Law and Metcalfe’s Law as key supporting principles.

Kiyosaki on Gresham’s and Metcalfe’s Laws Supporting Bitcoin Dominance Over US Dollar

Kiyosaki referenced Gresham’s Law, which suggests bad money chases good money out of circulation. “Good money gold and silver have been hiding from FAKE US dollars for years. Today, Gold, silver, and Bitcoin are forcing the fake US dollar into hiding,” he said.

Kiyosaki highlighted that fiat currencies like the US dollar have declined trust due to inflation and overprinting. He emphasized that Bitcoin, gold, and silver represent “good money” in contrast. He says these assets are becoming the most reliable investment options as confidence in traditional paper currencies erodes.

Kiyosaki explained Metcalfe’s Law, which states that a network’s value increases as its user base grows. He compared Bitcoin’s growth to franchise networks and large corporations, explaining that these systems become stronger as they expand in scale. Similarly, Bitcoin’s decentralized nature allows people and businesses to use its growing network for transactions and storing value.

TWO LAWS THAT GIVE BITCOIN POWER

Today, Gold, silver, and Bitcoin are forcing the fake US dollar into hiding.

Q: How can I be so bullish on gold, silver, and Bitcoin?
A: Because the idiots running the Fed, Treasury, Banks, and Wall Strret only know how to print money, which makes things worse.
