Kiyosaki warns ‘EUROPE is TOAST’ as bonds crash: Is Bitcoin the last safe haven?

by

Key Takeaways

Robert Kiyosaki and Max Keiser warn of an impending economic collapse in Western nations. Investors are turning to Bitcoin, gold, and silver to preserve wealth amid declining bonds. 

The seasoned investor Robert Kiyosaki, once a prophet of financial doom, has raised his voice again, this time foretelling a global financial collapse, fueled by a 24% drop in European bonds and a rising political uproar. There’s a sense of urgency in his words, a sort of dire prophecy that makes you question the safety of your 401k. 

His advice? Buy gold, silver, and Bitcoin. (You know, the usual suspects of the financial apocalypse.)

Robert Kiyosaki warns of economic unrest

Kiyosaki’s alarm bells are ringing especially loud for France, where social unrest is brewing like a pot of coq au vin gone wrong. Meanwhile, the steep decline in government bonds worldwide-U.S. Treasuries down 13%, European bonds plummeting 24%, and British bonds feeling an even sharper sting at 32%-suggests the situation is no less savory.

He declared: 

“EUROPE is TOAST: French people are on verge of Bastille Day revolt.  They’re bringing out their guillotines and heads will roll as France may be forced to admit bankruptcy.”

Now, despite Bitcoin’s valiant but futile plunge below $108,000 (perhaps just taking a breather before the next big thing), Kiyosaki maintains his enthusiasm for crypto, calling it the perfect hedge against this market madness.

According to him, Western nations’ ability to manage debt is faltering, with Japan and China offloading U.S. Treasuries in favor of more tangible assets like gold and silver. Trust in bonds? Ha, that’s yesterday’s news. Who wants bonds when you can have shiny metals and digital gold?

And the 60/40 portfolio of bonds and stocks? Kiyosaki scoffs. It’s like bringing a butter knife to a gunfight.

Max Keiser and others echo Kiyosaki’s concerns

In a move that reeks of “great minds think alike,” Bitcoin advocate Max Keiser, adviser to El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele, chimed in, echoing Kiyosaki’s warnings. His advice? Diversify into crypto, lest you want to ride out this storm on a sinking ship.

Shanaka Anslem Perera went one step further, saying Europe is on the brink of repeating the familiar tale of fallen empires: crippling debt, endless wars, and rulers too disconnected from reality to know what’s coming. So, forget the traditional investments-gold preserves history, Bitcoin is your escape route, and sovereignty is the ultimate treasure as the old world falls apart.

Andrew Lokenauth, as if he was trying to outdo the rest, added his voice to this choir of doom.

Why are analysts urging people to flee to El Salvador and not Europe?

While Europe’s approach seems a little more “we’ll sort this out eventually” (with a side of bureaucracy), El Salvador is going full throttle into Bitcoin. But don’t just take my word for it.

André Dragosch, head of research at Bitwise in Europe, noted that Q3 saw a massive influx of BTC-traded contracts-28, to be precise-and a net increase of over 140,600 BTC. That’s like a year’s worth of freshly mined supply in just two months. Talk about a stampede!

On the regulatory front, the European Banking Authority (EBA) has been busy drafting new rules for crypto-assets under EU regulations. Soon, all the crypto risk management across the EU will be… standardized. Just what the world needed-more bureaucracy!

Across the Atlantic, El Salvador is all about Bitcoin, baby. The country’s National Bitcoin Office split nearly 6,300 BTC across 14 addresses. Now, that’s a little more action than Europe’s regulatory desk jockeys.

Oh, and a new Investment Banking Law? Yep, now El Salvador’s regulated banks can hold Bitcoin and offer crypto services to accredited investors. It’s like they’ve created a financial haven for Bitcoin lovers. Forget the old world. This is a new frontier, and it’s looking pretty… profitable.
