Renowned financial author Robert Kiyosaki, famous for his book Rich Dad, Poor Dad, has reiterated his prediction of a major stock market crash and a sharp rise of Bitcoin (BTC). Kiyosaki linked these predictions to economic trends, highlighting Bitcoin’s increasing dominance as traditional financial systems face instability.
In a recent post on X, the financial author recalled his 2013 forecast of an unprecedented stock market crash, expected to occur in February 2025. He believes the collapse will prompt a large capital shift from stock and bond markets into alternative assets such as Bitcoin, gold, and silver.
In RICH DADs PROPHECY-2013 I warned the buggiest stock market crash in history was coming. That crash will be in February 2025.
Good news because in a crash everything goes on sale. Cars and houses on sale now.
Better news billions will leave the stock and bond markets and…

While he anticipates a decline in many financial instruments, Kiyosaki remains bullish on BTC. He has urged followers to get into crypto as soon as possible, emphasizing Bitcoin’s potential for explosive growth.
“Bitcoin will boom, boom, boom. Get on board while you can,” he stated.
Bitcoin Market Sees Growth and Rising Adoption
In another post on January 25, Kiyosaki used two economic principles—Gresham’s Law and Metcalfe’s Law—to explain Bitcoin’s upward trajectory. He argued that the U.S. dollar, weakened by inflation, has become “bad money,” while Bitcoin, along with gold and silver, represents “good money” that preserves value.
Additionally, Kiyosaki compared Bitcoin’s expanding network to successful global brands like McDonald’s, suggesting that Bitcoin’s growing global adoption enhances its value.
Currently, the global Bitcoin market is showing signs of growth, with increasing adoption, particularly as former President Donald Trump plans to create a Bitcoin strategic reserve in the U.S. this year. However, the market experienced turbulence today, as panic spread following the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting.
For context, BTC dipped below $100,000, and other cryptocurrencies such as Ether (ETH), XRP, and Solana (SOL) fell by approximately 8%, 10%, and 12%, respectively. Meanwhile, U.S. stocks also took a hit, influenced by the rise of Chinese AI company DeepSeek.
Expert Predicts A Bear Market
In related developments, analysts are predicting the approach of a bear market. In particular, crypto analyst Ali Martinez recently pointed out a pattern in Bitcoin’s market cycles following the halving event. He noted that Bitcoin’s price typically peaks several months after the halving, with a bear market following.
Notably, Martinez projected that BTC could reach its peak between May and October 2025. Following that, the distribution phase, often referred to as the bear market, will commence, leading to a significant correction in Bitcoin’s price.
