Robert Kiyosaki Predicts $300K for Bitcoin This Year
Robert Kiyosaki, a renowned entrepreneur and author of the famous book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad, has once again stirred the crypto community with his bold predictions, forecasting that Bitcoin (BTC) could hit $300,000 per coin by the end of 2024.
Kiyosaki’s Bullish Stance on Bitcoin
Taking to the X platform, Robert Kiyosaki stated:
“BITCOIN on fire. The biggest mistake you can make is to procrastinate. Important to start, even if only for $500. Next stop is $300,000 per BTC in 2024.”
Kiyosaki’s statement came shortly after his previous forecast that Bitcoin could reach $100,000 by June. This optimistic outlook isn’t surprising considering Kiyosaki’s long-standing support for Bitcoin. In November, he endorsed Bitcoin over traditional assets, highlighting its stability amid market turmoil.
Kiyosaki condemned the conventional model of earning money through regular jobs, emphasizing the inherent flaws of this approach, including taxation and inflation erosion. Instead, he advocated for cash flow assets such as rental properties, oil, and food production, presenting them as avenues for earning ‘tax-free money.’
Furthermore, he positioned Bitcoin as a financial parachute for investors, particularly amidst the perceived fragility of global banking systems. In a February post, Kiyosaki hinted at an imminent global banking crisis, pointing to the increasing number of unrealized losses by US banks, which stood at a staggering $684 billion in Q3 last year.

He emphasized the importance of diversifying investments into assets like gold, silver, and Bitcoin to mitigate risks associated with traditional banking systems. Kiyosaki’s skepticism toward Central Banks and fiat currency is well-documented.
He believes that money created by Central Banks lacks intrinsic value, unlike Bitcoin, which boasts a limited supply and resistance to inflation. According to Kiyosaki, Bitcoin is immune to manipulation and theft, unlike fiat currency, which is susceptible to government interference.
Bitcoin Market Performance and Catalysts
As of the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $66,713, marking a 6.5% increase over the past week, with a market capitalization of $1.3 trillion. Notably, Bitcoin recently surpassed its previous all-time high, reaching $69,170, driven by various factors renewing investors’ appetite for the cryptocurrency.
One key catalyst behind this bullish rally is the approval of Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) by US regulators. After years of delay, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved these investment products in January, facilitating a substantial influx of institutional and retail capital into the market.
Bitcoin’s resurgence has also been fueled by increasing adoption on a global scale. El Salvador, which became the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender in 2021, has seen its Bitcoin reserves surge, now worth over $150 million.
Additionally, legislative initiatives in states like Arizona suggest growing interest in incorporating Bitcoin ETFs into pension fund portfolios. These developments underline a broader trend of institutional acceptance and integration of cryptocurrencies into traditional financial systems.
