Robert Kiyosaki, the author renowned for Rich Dad Poor Dad, has voiced serious concerns about the U.S.’s escalating national debt, which currently stands at a staggering $35 trillion.
Kiyosaki argues that this burgeoning debt is a grave threat to the economic stability of the nation. He believes that neither Donald Trump nor Kamala Harris will be able to effectively address this crisis. Instead, Kiyosaki suggests abandoning the U.S. dollar in favor of investing in assets like Bitcoin, gold, and silver.
Kiyosaki criticizes the government’s heavy dependence on debt, pointing out that annual interest payments on the national debt have exceeded $1 trillion, overshadowing all other federal expenses combined. With the debt increasing at an alarming rate of $1 trillion every 100 days, he asserts that this is fueling inflation and diminishing the value of the dollar.
In a related proposal, Senator Cynthia Lummis has recommended that the U.S. government buy 1 million Bitcoins over the next five years, mirroring El Salvador’s strategy of accumulating Bitcoin to bolster its financial reserves.
Donald Trump has also proposed using Bitcoin as a tool to address the national debt. His plan involves acquiring a large amount of Bitcoin and holding it for two decades, hoping that the appreciation in value will help pay down the debt. This idea has sparked a range of opinions among economists, with some seeing potential in the strategy and others warning about Bitcoin’s inherent volatility.
Bitcoin is increasingly viewed as a safeguard against economic turmoil by some institutional investors. Experts like Michael Saylor predict that Bitcoin’s value could rise dramatically, which might offer some relief for the U.S. debt problem. Nevertheless, the viability of Bitcoin as a solution remains debated, with opinions divided on whether it could effectively stabilize the economy.
