Gold and silver are not just hitting records, Robert Kiyosaki says they’re revealing a deeper shift in how money, debt, and trust are being repriced.
Speaking with Kitco News at VRIC 2026, the Rich Dad Poor Dad author weighed in as gold trades above $5,000 and silver holds triple digits. Kiyosaki argued that silver’s move reflects structural pressure, not speculation, calling it “the information age’s metal” and the backbone of modern technology as AI demand accelerates. He warned that silver supply is constrained and difficult to expand, adding, “You can’t find it. That’s the big news.”
Kiyosaki also pointed to the significance of gold and silver rising together, saying that historically this alignment signals stress in fiat systems as capital moves toward hard assets. He highlighted silver’s growing strategic importance, noting its role in technology and defense at a time when governments are reassessing critical materials.
Addressing rumors that he sold his silver to buy Bitcoin, Kiyosaki said he has not sold any silver and rejected the idea of trading hard assets for paper money, which he described as “toilet paper.”
