Silver’s breakout above $70 is stoking inflation fears and dollar anxiety, with Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki warning the move could foreshadow deeper currency erosion while fueling a bullish path toward $200.
Silver Rally Fuels Kiyosaki’s Inflation Alarm and Bullish Price Forecast
Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki warned that silver trading above $70 could be an early signal of rising inflation risks and continued erosion of the U.S. dollar, framing the move as beneficial for precious metals holders and harmful for cash savers.
In a post on social media platform X dated Dec. 23, Kiyosaki said:
I am concerned $70 silver may signal hyper- inflation in 5 years as the fake $ keeps losing value.
He added: “Don’t be a loser. Fake $ will continue to lose purchasing power as silver goes to $200 in 2026.” Kiyosaki has repeatedly criticized fiat currencies, arguing that government spending and monetary expansion undermine long-term purchasing power. His comments echoed past warnings in which he has urged investors to favor assets such as gold, silver, and bitcoin over cash and bonds.
The remarks come as precious metals prices surge amid persistent concerns over inflation, mounting government debt, and the outlook for interest rates. Silver has recently pushed to record highs, extending gains driven by strong investment demand and tightening supply, while also benefiting from robust industrial use in solar panels, electric vehicles, and electronics. Market data confirms the surge, with spot silver reaching $71.94 an ounce by Dec. 25, up 142% year to date, driven by industrial demand from the solar and electronics sectors and safe-haven inflows amid a weakening U.S. dollar. Meanwhile, gold has traded near all-time highs as central banks, particularly in emerging markets, continue adding to reserves and investors seek protection from currency volatility and geopolitical risk.
