Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki repeats call to buy gold, silver, bitcoin; warns of imminent crash
ADVERTISEMENT In his latest post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Kiyosaki reiterated his long-standing criticism of central banks and warned that the world is headed towards a major financial collapse.
Urging his followers to avoid fiat currency, he added: 'Stop saving FAKE $' and advised: 'Start saving real gold, silver, Bitcoin.'
In his post, Kiyosaki referred to his well-known principle, stating: 'RICH DADs RULE: 'Savers are Losers.''He argued that every time the US Federal Reserve encounters a financial crisis, its response is to "PRINT fake $", citing historical instances such as the 1987 Market Crash, 1998 LTCM collapse, 2019 Repo Market seizure, COVID-19 pandemic, and the Silicon Valley Bank crash as evidence of the central bank's repeated monetary expansion.

ADVERTISEMENT 'It's not a new crisis.... It's the same crisis getting bigger,' Kiyosaki wrote, underscoring his view that systemic issues in the financial system are compounding over time.In the same post, Kiyosaki called on investors to protect their wealth, warning that 'America is the biggest debtor nation in history... because of the FED.' He concluded his message with his earlier prediction: 'The Biggest Crash in history is coming….soon.'
ADVERTISEMENT Kiyosaki has been consistently vocal in recommending precious metals and cryptocurrencies as a hedge against what he perceives as unsustainable monetary policies by the Federal Reserve.In an earlier post on X, Kiyosaki had also forecasted that silver prices could double from current levels, reinforcing his bullish stance on the metal. He asserted that silver was still significantly undervalued and that investors should consider adding it to their portfolios.
ADVERTISEMENT This latest warning from the finance author adds to his series of public statements over recent months, where he has expressed concerns about the stability of the US economy, the rising debt levels, and the potential devaluation of fiat currency due to what he terms 'money printing'.Kiyosaki's message to investors remains consistent: avoid storing wealth in cash, which he calls "fake money", and focus instead on acquiring tangible assets like gold, silver, and Bitcoin as a means of wealth preservation.

Rs 2.51 lakh nursery class fee: Justified or not? For some it's the price of an 'elite bubble'
Prestige, Not Pedagogy? — talk2anuradha (@talk2anuradha) Social Pressure and Status Symbol As the cost of private education continues to rise in India, a growing number of parents and observers are questioning what exactly they're paying for. In major cities, fees for preschool and nursery classes are reaching levels once associated only with higher education. This has reignited debate around affordability, access, and whether elite private schools are offering genuine value — or simply selling social prestige at a latest round of public scrutiny was sparked by a post on X (formerly Twitter), where a user highlighted that a well-known school in Hyderabad charges Rs 2.51 lakh per year for nursery admission, which works out to around Rs 21,000 a month. The user questioned what kind of education at the nursery level could possibly justify such a high fee, pointing out that this amount was being spent just for children to start learning the post drew a flurry of responses. Several users argued that such schools are not merely about education, but about positioning children within a specific social class. One pointed to an elite Indian school, where they said the fees for early education crosses Rs 14 lakh annually. The argument is that parents are paying for exclusivity, not just academics — mirroring trends seen in elite private schools globally. The high cost, some said, is a gateway to an 'elite bubble' where children grow up isolated from the rest of Indian social media users defended the fee structure as a simple matter of supply and demand. They argued that just as consumers choose to pay premium prices for luxury goods or services, schools with strong brands and perceived advantages are free to set their rates. From their perspective, education is a service like any other, and parents voluntarily opting in means the market is functioning as intended. One user likened it to MBA programs, where students pay for access to networks as much as for the curriculum the other side of the conversation, critics were quick to point out how social validation plays a large role in these choices. Several users mentioned that many parents proudly broadcast the high fees they pay — not as a complaint, but as a badge of honour. The school a child attends is often seen as an extension of the family's status, and some believe that the rising demand for such institutions is driven more by image than educational the optics, there were serious concerns raised about the regulatory environment. Legally, schools in India are required to operate as not-for-profit entities, but some users noted that many manage to generate significant profit through indirect channels. Others criticised the government's role in this trend, arguing that weakening support for public education has pushed more families into the private sector, where fees are unchecked and rising commenters suggested that parents should consider more affordable but academically strong schools, rather than getting caught up in the status race. A few proposed community-based models, such as cooperative home-schooling by parents, to ensure quality education without exorbitant fees. The broader point echoed by many was that India needs to rethink its educational priorities — moving from image-based schooling to models that focus on meaningful learning and skill development.
