He urged a shift in investments toward Bitcoin and gold, stating, “That is why there is FDIC insurance. If your bank goes bust, up to $250k of your savings are safe. WHY take the chance? Why not get most of your savings out of the corrupt banking system and save gold, silver, and Bitcoin? WHY be a victim of a bankrupt money system? WHY not get smart and keep some of your money in real money…Gold, silver, and Bitcoin?”

Kiyosaki’s book, co-authored with Sharon Lechter in 1997, remains a popular title in the personal finance category. It was a New York Times Best Seller for over six years, selling over 32 million copies in 51 languages across 109 countries.
