Big prediction from Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki: Gold will go to $25,000
Bestselling author and financial educator
Robert Kiyosaki
, known for his book Rich Dad Poor Dad, doubled down on gold in a post on the social media platform X, predicting a dramatic surge in its price amid economic turmoil. He described the recent U.S. bond auction as a failure and called it a harbinger of financial collapse.
'Good news. Gold will go to $25,000. Silver to $70. Bitcoin to $500k to $1 million.'
THE END is HERE:
WHAT if you threw a party and no one showed up?
That is what happened yesterday.
The Fed held an auction for US Bonds and no one showed up.
So the Fed quietly bought $50 billion of its own fake money with fake money.
The party is over. Hyperinflation is…

Kiyosaki declared, "THE END is HERE", expressing concerns about hyperinflation, a collapsing bond market, and severe consequences for the global economy.
'WHAT if you threw a party and no one showed up? That is what happened yesterday,' Kiyosaki wrote, referencing the U.S. Treasury's recent 20-year bond auction that drew soft demand from investors.
This follows the U.S. Treasury Department's struggle to attract buyers for a $16 billion sale of 20-year bonds, reflecting growing investor anxiety over the ballooning national debt and fiscal uncertainty as Congress debates new spending legislation.
Stocks and the dollar sold off following the weak auction results, while U.S. Treasury yields rose, signalling market concerns about long-term fiscal sustainability.
Kiyosaki elaborated on the issue, stating, 'The Fed held an auction for US Bonds and no one showed up. So the Fed quietly bought $50 billion of its own fake money with fake money.'
The author interpreted this move as a sign of deeper monetary instability continuing. 'The party is over. Hyperinflation is here. Millions, young and old, to be wiped out financially,' he added.

His reaction comes on the heels of Moody's downgrade of the United States' sovereign credit rating, which followed earlier downgrades from Fitch Ratings and Standard & Poor's.
In a post made earlier this week, Kiyosaki remarked that the downgrade signifies that 'the US is like a dead-beat dad who is spending borrowed money, without a job, and not taking care of his family.'
He warned that such credit downgrades may trigger higher interest rates, pushing the U.S. economy into a recession and potentially leading to unemployment, failing banks, a housing crisis, and even a depression on the scale of 1929.
The recent bond auction only intensified those concerns. The auction's poor reception could spur bond market vigilantes, investors demanding greater fiscal discipline, and lead to a harsher investment climate for the U.S. government.
Kiyosaki also reiterated his views on personal preparedness and financial independence, urging followers to adopt an entrepreneurial mindset.
'I have always recommended people become entrepreneurs, at least a side hustle, and not need job security,' he wrote in a prior post, adding that individuals should invest in income-producing real estate, and accumulate assets like real gold and silver and today Bitcoin.
As global uncertainty mounts, markets appear to be reacting accordingly. Gold prices have been on the rise, and Bitcoin recently surged past $111,000, hitting its all-time high, fueled by increased institutional interest and demand for alternatives to fiat currency.

Kiyosaki has consistently criticised the U.S. Federal Reserve's policies and the country's departure from the gold standard in 1971, stating that 'each crisis gets bigger because they never solve the problem.' Reaffirming his stance, he concluded his recent post with a stark warning:
'THE END I have been warning the world about is HERE. May God have mercy on our souls,' he stated.

'India projected to maintain fastest growth rate': World Bank holds FY26 growth at 6.3%; global growth rate forecast cut to 2.3%
India will remain the fastest-growing major economy in 2025–26 with a projected GDP expansion of 6.3%, the World Bank said in its latest Global Economic Prospects report, while warning that rising global trade barriers and weaker demand from key export partners are likely to dampen external sector momentum. The projection for India remains unchanged from the World Bank's April estimate but marks a downward revision from the earlier January forecast of 6.7%. The multilateral lender cited subdued industrial growth and soft export demand as key reasons for the downgrade, though construction, services and rural consumption were seen holding steady, PTI reported. 'India is projected to maintain the fastest growth rate among the world's largest economies,' the World Bank stated, noting that even with the pressures on trade, the Indian economy's fundamentals remain relatively strong. The global outlook, however, was more pessimistic. The World Bank cut its forecast for global GDP growth in 2025 to 2.3%, down from 2.7% in January. It described this as the weakest performance in 17 years outside of full-blown recessions, attributing the slowdown to policy uncertainty and fragmentation in trade relations—particularly amid heightened tariff actions by the US under President Donald Trump. The Bank also said that average global growth in the first seven years of the 2020s could be the slowest since the 1960s if current conditions persist. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo Around 70% of global economies saw their forecasts revised down across all regions and income levels. For India, the World Bank expects GDP growth to accelerate slightly to an average of 6.6% over FY27–28, aided by a rebound in exports, especially in services, and continued momentum in construction and consumption. Last week, the Reserve Bank of India retained its GDP forecast for FY26 at 6.5%, citing macroeconomic resilience amid global headwinds. World Bank analysts added that resolving current trade disputes—potentially by halving tariff levels—could raise global growth by 0.2 percentage points over 2025 and 2026. They advised developing economies to diversify trade and pursue broader liberalization to counter the fallout from protectionist measures.

Gold price today: Gold rate goes up. Will it fall soon?
Gold prices edged higher on Tuesday. Spot gold was up 0.3 per cent at $3,336.33 an ounce, after falling to a low of $3,301.54 earlier in the session. U.S. gold futures were up 0.1 per cent at $3,357.20, as per a report. Investors awaited more clarity on the US-China trade talks and looked forward to key U.S. inflation data due this week for clues on the Federal Reserve's future interest rate decisions. "Gold found some floor amid dip-buying, though the uptick lacked bullish conviction. Fiscal concerns and Fed rate cut bets are the catalyst for a recovery in the prices," said Jigar Trivedi, senior commodity analyst at Reliance Securities, Reuters reported. Top officials from the world's two largest economies sought to defuse a bitter dispute that has widened from tariffs to restrictions over rare earths, with trade talks extending to a second day in London. The US and China imposed reciprocal tariffs in April, which ignited trade war concerns. But last month, both countries agreed to a temporary pause in tariffs against each other, offering some relief to financial markets. Live Events Investors now await the Consumer Price Index data on Wednesday to analyse the Fed's policy path. The CPI report will be one of the last key pieces of data before the Fed's June 17-18 meeting, where it is widely expected to hold rates.

Bitcoin Pizza Day: From Novelty to Global Utility
Once dismissed by skeptics as a passing fad, cryptocurrencies become an integral part of the global financial ecosystem. Impressively, this incredible journey has taken shape over the span of just fifteen years. Back in May 2010, on what has become known as 'Bitcoin Pizza Day,' Bitcoin was first used in a real-world payment transaction. This pivotal event demonstrated Bitcoin's utility as a medium of exchange, paving the way for crypto to rise from the fringes of the internet, into the mainstream. Since then, the crypto community has celebrated this day, and not just as an excuse to throw a pizza party. "From two pizzas to a global financial movement, crypto's journey has been nothing short of extraordinary—and our community has been the driving force behind it,' said Rachel Conlan, Chief Marketing Officer at Binance. Back in May 2010, Bitcoin, which first became available for sale the previous fall, was steadily building up a following. However, until then, early adopters had simply traded U.S. dollars for BTC. Bitcoin owners yet to utilize the original cryptocurrency for anything more than as a speculative investment. That all changed on May 18, 2010. That's when early adopter Laszlo Hanyecz posted a thread on the BitcoinTalk forum, offering anyone 10,000 BTC if they would order two large pizzas, and send them to his home. On May 22, 2010, Laszlo confirmed in a subsequent post that his request had been fulfilled. For the first time, Bitcoin demonstrated its real world utility. As this event coincided with the aftermath of the late 2000s Global Financial Crisis, there was growing interest in building an alternative financial system, Bitcoin soon emerged as the vehicle to build such a system. Over the next fifteen years, Bitcoin went from facilitating a simple pizza order, to sparking the development of other cryptocurrencies. As you can see from this chart, the value of Bitcoin has increased significantly every year since that first 'Pizza Day' in 2010. It also led to the development of an entire alternative ecosystem to the highly-centralized and dollar-based global financial system, before becoming integrated with said mainstream system. In short, one can say that crypto has gone from 'Domino's to DeFi' in the fifteen years following this event. No longer a nerdy novelty hidden away in an obscure corner of the interest, Bitcoin's attainment of global utility has brought with it a sudden influx of institutional backing of this and other major cryptocurrencies. This has sparked another wave of high price appreciation. Today, the price of 1 BTC is well-within the six-figure category, with Bitcoin recently changing hands for over $110,000. In other words, Laszlo's 10,000 BTC pizza may have only translated into $41 at the time of the first 'Bitcoin Pizza Day,' but those same 10,000 BTC are now worth over $1.1 billion. That said, without this event, it's questionable whether Bitcoin's journey would've played out the same way. Even as Laszlo's pizza day was a fairly easy achievement, given Bitcoin's low price and low mining requirements at that time, it's possible that this event happened at the right place at the right time, sparking a chain of events that led to Bitcoin's meteoric rise in status. The crypto community continues to observe 'Bitcoin Pizza Day,' mainly for how it demonstrates how everyday transactions can profoundly affect the future. That's definitely the case for crypto users even today, as we found out from interviewing Binance users about their own personal 'Bitcoin Pizza stories.' Take, for instance, the story of Jimmy, a Canadian who became an accidental early 'HODLer' of Bitcoin. Back in 2012, Jimmy purchased 5 BTC in order to complete a textbook purchase. As Jimmy explains his story, 'My first encounter with crypto was in late 2012, when Bitcoin was around $13. I wasn't thinking about investing, I just needed it to buy a textbook on compilers from an online seller who insisted on Bitcoin payment. I bought five whole Bitcoins on Coinbase, used a few to pay for the book, and forgot about the rest. I didn't dive deeper into crypto until years later when I joined Binance. That old Coinbase account? It sat untouched for years, and I became an accidental HODLer.' Another poignant story comes from Binance Angel @Gerrit92 got into crypto back in 2019. Through patient 'buying and HODLing,' Gerrit92 built a small fortune. To celebrate, he cashed out some of his profits, using them to buy a Rolex. Besides fulfilling a long-held desire to own this valuable watch, the Rolex to this user also serves as a token of the friends and profits he has made via crypto. @Gerrit92 explains, 'I've been investing in crypto since 2019 and have never cashed out a large amount. I traded occasionally to rebalance my portfolio, but I always believed in a long-term vision. After many years in crypto, I decided to take a small portion of my profits to invest in another asset, fulfilling a childhood dream with a valuable purchase, a Rolex. It may be less volatile, but I look at it every day, and it reminds me of crypto and the friends I've made in this community.' The payoff from his efforts helped to build his self-esteem, and to prove himself to his ex-girlfriend and her father, who rejected him due to his past poverty.
