‘People who acquire Ethereum today…’: Robert Kiyosaki urges shift to modern investing, says ‘old thinkers will be left behind’
Co-author of ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ Robert Kiyosaki on Saturday painted a stark picture of the widening divide between the rich and the rest with a post on X. Calling it his “concern” about “Old Thinking vs New Thinking”, Kiyosaki described the gap not just as growing but as turning into a “Grand Canyon”.
According to Kiyosaki, billions of people worldwide are struggling with challenges to making ends meet, keeping up with inflation and maintaining their jobs. He posted that traditional approaches to money, work and investing are no longer enough to secure financial freedom.
In the X post, Kiyosaki said that “Old thinkers” continue to rely on conventional methods of “going back to school, working longer hours, saving ‘fake money’” and investing solely in retirement plans”. While these strategies were considered safe and reliable in the past, Kiyosaki warned that they may leave people lagging behind in today’s rapidly evolving financial landscape.
On the flip side, new thinkers are embracing entrepreneurship and alternative assets. According to Kiyosaki, starting a startup, saving in real assets like gold and silver and investing in cryptocurrencies is the way to thrive in the modern economy. Kiyosaki drew particular attention to Ethereum, which was trading around $4,000 on October 25 (Saturday), suggesting that people who acquire ETH at current prices will mirror the success of early Bitcoin investors who bought when BTC was similarly priced at $4,000.
“People who acquire Ethereum today at $4,000 will be like the rich who invested in Bitcoin when it was $4,000,” Kiyosaki wrote. “Old thinkers will be left behind as the gap becomes the Grand Canyon,” Kiyosaki’s post further read.
“Consider those ideas and choose which side of the GAP you want to be on,” he concluded.
