Robert Kiyosaki Plans Gold (XAU) Buying on Next Crash, Cites $40.6 Trillion US Debt

Kiyosaki Welcomes the Next Crash

Robert Kiyosaki, author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” said in a post on X on November 4 that he cannot wait for the next crash in Gold (XAU), Silver (XAG) and Bitcoin, and that he plans to buy more of all three when the drop arrives. He framed the message under the heading “WHY WORRY?”, writing that other investors panicked when the three assets crashed in the past while he added to his positions. His reasoning rests on the growing size of global debt and on what he calls the failure of paper money. In the same post he accused political leaders of incompetence, faulted an education system that teaches “nothing, zero, nada” about money, and described fiat currency as fake money that steals wealth from workers and savers. Two of his recurring lines frame the position: savers are losers, and the United States is the biggest debtor nation in history. He named no entry level and no date for the purchases. The concern has hard numbers behind it. Figures posted by The Kobeissi Letter on November 3 put US federal debt at a record $40.6 trillion after a surge of $422 billion in October alone. Since July 1 the total has climbed by $1.2 trillion, an average of roughly $300 billion a month, or close to $10 billion a day. That daily average works out to about $115,000 every second. Kiyosaki's post landed a day after the update and treats the fiscal trajectory, rather than any chart pattern, as the reason a further slide in hard assets would be a buying window rather than a warning.

From $121 Silver to $52

Kiyosaki's appetite for crashes is a long-standing pattern rather than a reaction to this week's prices. Earlier this year he set 2026 targets of $250,000 for Bitcoin, $27,000 for gold and $100 for silver. Silver outran the call, clearing $121 an ounce in late January, about 21% past the mark he had named. The rally then failed. On January 29 gold reached $5,600 before shedding roughly $400 in about 30 minutes, a reversal that showed how fragile the move was. The months since have erased most of the quarter's gains across the complex. Silver now changes hands at less than half its January peak, and gold sits well below its $5,600 high. Even at current prices his gold target stands more than six times above the market, and silver's overshoot remains the only one of his three 2026 targets to have been met so far. The rebound began after Tuesday's US midterm elections, in which Democrats won control of Congress, a shift in the fiscal backdrop his debt argument leans on. His post made no mention of the result. Gold climbed 2.34% to move back above $4,023 an ounce after touching its lowest level of the year, and silver jumped close to 4% toward $52, with a weaker dollar lending support. Bitcoin recovered to about $80,500 after dipping to $75,618 earlier on Wednesday, leaving the largest cryptocurrency down roughly 3.8% over the past week. Kiyosaki reads the lower prints as opportunity rather than threat. His caveats are practical: buying into a crash takes surplus cash, strong nerves and patience, and calling the exact bottom, he concedes, is extremely hard.

Gold trades at $4,069.85, up 3.36% over 24 hours, and COINOTAG data marks the $4,082.88 swing high, rated 63/100 on the composite, as the nearest resistance it is pressing. Silver, at $52.40 after a 5.24% daily gain, has the $48.76 floor, rated 91/100, as its strongest support if the rebound stalls. Both instruments still carry a daily downtrend, and silver's 14-day RSI at 40.4 leaves the post-election bounce looking early rather than confirmed. Perpetual open interest on gold stands near $684 million, leaving room for positioning to build behind the move. The three assets still sit far from the levels that defined January, and a close through $4,082.88 would be the first scored resistance gold clears on the path back toward that territory.
