Robert Kiyosaki, well-known for Rich Dad Poor Dad and his vocal support for Bitcoin, recently faced an unexpected lack of engagement from his X followers.
Over the weekend, Kiyosaki ran a Bitcoin-related poll, but the response was far quieter than he anticipated — a result he later apologized for in a post.
The poll, part of a broader discussion on financial habits, questioned why people tend to spend on wants rather than investing in long-term assets like Bitcoin, gold, or real estate.
Despite having 73,000 followers view the tweet, only about 1,000 users interacted with it, leading Kiyosaki to express disappointment and frustration at the silence. He hinted that this disconnect felt like a silent backlash from the investment community.
The tweet was tied to broader concerns Kiyosaki raised about inflation and economic hardship, noting that even fast-food giants like McDonald’s and Burger King are feeling the strain as lower-income consumers pull back spending. Despite the lukewarm response, Kiyosaki promised to continue engaging with followers, teasing a future question about what wealthy individuals tend to accumulate to grow richer.
Earlier this month, Kiyosaki maintained his bullish stance on Bitcoin’s future, forecasting a minimum price of $180,000 in 2025 and even suggesting that BTC could break past $1 million by 2035. He cited rapid advancements in artificial intelligence and its effects on finance as key factors that could fuel Bitcoin’s long-term rise.
