"Rich Dad Poor Dad" author Robert Kiyosaki recently shared an interesting perspective on social media — he said he doesn't really care much about the short-term price movements of Bitcoin, Ethereum, or gold and silver.

So what does he care about? Kiyosaki pointed to a more core issue: the continuous expansion of the US national debt and the declining purchasing power of the dollar. His logic is that instead of obsessing over the ups and downs of crypto assets, it's better to focus on long-term monetary trends and macroeconomic fundamentals.

This perspective is actually quite interesting. Against the backdrop of soaring US debt and currency devaluation, many investors choose to allocate assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum as non-sovereign hedges. But Kiyosaki's statement hints that what truly matters are the driving forces behind these asset prices — namely global liquidity, central bank policies, and long-term changes in the monetary system. In other words, the price of tokens is just a surface phenomenon; currency devaluation is the root cause.

BTC-3,3%

ETH-4,19%

Buy the dip again, wait for the lower point eventually. Kiyosaki is right, those watching the market are all bagholders; focusing on liquidity is the true key.

This guy is right, watching the market every day and trying to predict coin price fluctuations is really playing micro. The real concern is still the US debt bomb. Well said, the coin price is just a distraction; currency devaluation is the real killer move. Kiyosaki finally said something sensible this time. The devaluation of the dollar is the hard hit; coins are just hedging tools. Wake up everyone, stop obsessing over short-term rises and falls. Paying attention to macro liquidity is the real key. With such pressure on US bonds, no wonder this guy isn't chasing short-term gains. His vision is indeed high. Coin price fluctuations? That's just noise. The real game is in central bank policies. Gotta say, Kiyosaki's words hit the nail on the head. Most people are still betting on rises and falls, while he's positioning for hedging. Forget it, watching coin prices in the short term is too exhausting. Focusing on the death spiral of the dollar's purchasing power is more realistic. This is called "seeing the mountain as the mountain," finally someone has spoken it through. The macro situation is so obvious, and some are still calculating 24-hour gains and losses? That's a joke.

Showing off... The key still depends on liquidity and central bank actions. The rise and fall of the coin price is really nothing. Now I understand why non-sovereign assets are needed. Who would dare to fully bet on the US dollar as its purchasing power continues to decline? Although Kiyosaki's words sound like old clichés, they hit the real pain point. It all depends on how many people can truly give up the thrill of chasing gains and selling at losses. The explosion of US debt... just look at how much the dollar will be worth in ten years. In simple terms, the currency devaluation train has already started. No wonder everyone is hoarding Bitcoin, gold, and other assets. Short-term market watching really has no meaning; it’s about how the macro chess game is played. When liquidity tightens, all assets have to kneel... that’s something Kiyosaki didn’t say.

Bro, this is exactly right, really. A bunch of people are staring at the K-line every day, but they haven't seen that the broken web of US debt behind it is getting more and more fragile. The rise and fall of the coin price is not the main point at all; the main point is that the dollar is dying. When will someone truly wake up... Kiyosaki is not pretending this time; he's hitting the sore spot directly. The key words are actually two — purchasing power and inflation. Honestly, rather than chasing coins, it's better to understand what the central banks are doing. In one sentence, buy when the coin drops, buy when it rises. In the end, those who see through the essence of currency devaluation are the ones who win. That's why I've always said holding is the right way.

That's right, the fluctuations in cryptocurrency prices are nothing compared to the ticking time bomb of US debt. This time, Kiyosaki finally hit the nail on the head, unlike some who only shout signals. The dollar is dying, that's a fact. Hoarding anything is less important than understanding this big trend. Crypto markets chase after short-term rises and falls, but the big brother is looking at the macro... truly a different level. Currency devaluation is the fundamental logic; all kinds of assets are just tools for hedging. How long can the central bank's hand last? That’s the real question. Huh, finally a big influencer is not just talking about crypto but discussing real stuff. US debt expansion = the gradual death of the dollar, this logic is very clear. In the short term, focus on crypto prices; in the long term, focus on the system... it’s basically that simple. Kiyosaki’s thinking is one dimension above half of the crypto influencers. The dollar’s purchasing power is bleeding; do you still expect hoarding coins to appreciate? Overthinking. Having deep insights, but most retail investors simply can't understand it.

That's right, the rise and fall of cryptocurrency prices are basically smoke and mirrors. The real game is in US debt and dollar devaluation. The dollar is turning into waste paper. Why watch Bitcoin plunge? The bigger picture is overlooked. Kiyosaki still has some insight; he finally told the truth. Instead of obsessing over K-line charts every day, it's better to study what the central bank's next move will be—that's the right path. Too many people in the crypto world are fooled by short-term fluctuations, ignoring the macro perspective. The fact that the US Treasury has piled up mountains of debt while the Federal Reserve still plays around—that's what's scary. Understand? To put it simply, non-sovereign assets are just for survival; don't expect to get rich overnight. Feels like this round is truly the eve of a major wealth redistribution.

To be honest, Kiyosaki's words hit the nail on the head for too many people who only focus on K-line charts every day. Not grasping the macro logic makes just trading coins pointless. The issue of excessive dollar issuance should have been taken seriously long ago. No wonder they have already accumulated BTC. The rise and fall of coin prices are just the results; the root cause lies in what the central bank controls.
