In his post, Kiyosaki criticized the current U.S. leadership, calling Vice President Kamala Harris, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell “the 3 dogs that run America.” He compared Yellen and Powell to popular TV characters and suggested that “collapse can be a good thing” for those who are ready for it.
Kiyosaki also shared his views on protecting wealth from what he described as the “criminal” policies of U.S. financial institutions. He pointed to gold, silver and cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Etherium (ETH) as key assets to protect.
He called investors in these assets “rebels,” arguing that Bitcoin and Etherium, because they are open source, cannot be manipulated by the Federal Reserve, Treasury or politicians.

Bitcoin started the week strong, climbing past $94,000 and nearing the $95,000 mark, just as the market braces for important U.S. economic data.
Bitcoin’s price might be soaring, but public curiosity isn’t keeping up. According to Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley, despite Bitcoin reaching around $90,000, interest in the cryptocurrency — as measured by Google search trends — has stayed surprisingly low.
Bitcoin miner activity has hit a notable low point, according to the latest analysis from crypto research firm Alphractal.
