Renowned investor and Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki is doubling down on silver — and this time, he’s placing it above Bitcoin and gold.
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter) dated April 3, Kiyosaki described silver as his top asset pick moving into 2025, citing a “perfect storm” of rising industrial demand, shrinking global supply, and long-term price suppression that could soon unravel.
“Demand for silver is increasing for use in: solar panels, EVs, computers, medicine, water purification… Supplies of gold and Bitcoin don’t decrease. Yet silver supplies are decreasing.” — Robert Kiyosaki, April 3, 2025
Silver’s Industrial Advantage
While gold has traditionally served as a store of value and Bitcoin as its digital counterpart, silver stands out with its broad industrial utility. The metal is essential for:
- Solar panel production
- Electric vehicles (EVs)
- Medical and defense technologies
- Water purification and electronics
With global green energy investment accelerating, demand for silver is rising sharply. Yet unlike gold or Bitcoin, silver’s physical supply is falling — a dynamic Kiyosaki sees as a major catalyst for future price appreciation.
Undervalued and Overlooked?
Silver currently trades at a steep discount compared to its historical highs and its peers. According to Kiyosaki:
“Silver is the least expensive when compared to gold and Bitcoin. As the price of gold breaks all-time highs, silver remains 60% below its peak.”
On April 3, silver closed at $32.75 per troy ounce, down 3.52% from the previous day’s $33.94, according to FXStreet data. Despite the dip, Kiyosaki believes silver’s current valuation represents a unique buying opportunity.
Price Suppression — and a Potential “Sling Shot”
Kiyosaki also warned that silver’s underperformance may not be entirely natural. He believes the metal has long been artificially suppressed to keep it affordable for industrial buyers.
“I believe silver’s price manipulation is over. I strongly believe the price of silver will ‘sling shot’ to all-time new highs… possibly 2X to $70 an ounce in 2025.”
This would mark a dramatic shift in the precious metals market — and one that could reward early movers.
Silver vs. Bitcoin: 2025 Outlook
As of April 3, Bitcoin is trading at approximately $83,063, down 2% on the day, according to data from Kraken. The price has fluctuated between a high of $88,398 and a low of $82,162.
This pullback coincides with rising market uncertainty, especially following new U.S. import tariffs announced by Donald Trump — a move that has affected broader investor sentiment across commodities and cryptocurrencies.
The Bigger Picture
With gold surging, Bitcoin consolidating, and silver still lagging, Kiyosaki’s shift toward silver may reflect more than just market timing. It signals a bet on real-world utility, scarcity, and disruption of legacy pricing structures.
For investors watching the next wave of capital flows in 2025, silver may no longer be just a secondary metal — but a primary strategic asset.
