Last year, Robert Kiyosaki, the guy behind "Rich Dad Poor Dad," said Bitcoin could hit $350,000 in 2025. Then, earlier this year, Larry Fink from Blackrock upped the ante with a $700,000 prediction for the same timeframe. Soon after, Bitcoin dropped from its peak of about $108,000 down into the $70,000 range. Now, Kiyosaki is predicting Bitcoin will reach $1 million as the US heads towards a significant financial crash. He believes this downturn is just a correction concerning the USD and was inevitable. According to him, Trump's actions have accelerated this crash, but it would have been much worse if he had postponed it. The takeaway? Bitcoin holders are likely to come out on top in the long run. Other investments might also do well, but traditional investments like bank savings accounts are probably gonna lose their value. Meanwhile, real estate is already seeing declines.

Robert is a renowned financial expert for building wealth and known for his book that has help most people elevate from their ex financial status to a better status but however I still don't see him to be a figure in predicting bitcoin. I would agree with him for most point like Trump brought all the US market crash on the US and some other facts but however using the term Strongly believe highlights his trust for bitcoin but also could be a flaw for him if it turns out that bitcoin didn't perform to his expectations. Another point here is every one is making a guess of what the price of bitcoin will be but if for some reason most get lucky and bitcoin price is close to their predictions tits cool but have Robert change his guess in a year isn't cool however in the next 10 years but iin could, might, probably and maybe will hit 1 million dollars because it's the new money and the better gold, however the uncertainty is very high.

They are successful people but they are influencers too and you can trust their predictions with your money. As a Bitcoin investor, you must focus on learning for yourself, building up your own investment plan with solid confidence on future of Bitcoin, its bullish case in future, and manage your finance and capital well so that your investment plan will be very long term. Then you will no longer have to mind about market and price predictions from any influencer. Bitcoin does its job, you do your job, and if you do it rightly you will get good investment ROI.

When you look at the article in the OP, Robert already changed his prediction for Bitcoin in 2025. I remember the article coming out in 2024 when he predicted a $350,000 Bitcoin for 2025. He has reduced it for 2025, down to $200,000. So, we need to keep our eyes on things, and not jump into illogical predictions. Seems that AI predicts a much lower Bitcoin for 2025 than Robert. The important point is that we don't know the future. But it DOES look rather bad for fiat right at the moment.

The dude is a salesman. He made most of his money off his followers by selling them books and courses and whatnot. He is like a less cringe version of Andrew Tate. I don't understand what's to stop him from continuing to update his BTC price prediction for the end of the year all the way up until Dec 30th. Obviously I wouldn't put much stock in anything he has to say when it comes to Bitcoin.

I don't want to take a person like Kiyosaki seriously. He's basically a con man. His predictions might become true, but "a clock shows the right hour two times a day/night"(if I remember the saying correctly). BTC will hit 350K or 1M USD only if the USD becomes worthless. The US federal debt is growing and the global process of dedollarization continues, but I don't know what is going to happen. I agree with Kiyosaki, that investing in precious metals is a safe bet, but I can't agree that Bitcoin won't crash in case of a major US recession/depression. Maybe the Federal Reserve will solve the recession problem by printing absurd amounts of money, which will pump the BTC/GOLD prices to the moon. Maybe a con man like Kiyosaki might be right about the global finances.

Doubling down from $350k to $1M for this year is wild and very ambitious. I remember that it's something that he didn't like, right? And now he is shilling so much, but there's some truth to it in terms of hedging against the market's economic instability. With the increase of tariffs and other things, things are bound to happen. It's just a prediction and shouldn't be taken seriously. He is just making a name for himself with wild predictions.

Well, he's certainly not the first to predict 1 million for bitcoin, and certainly not the first to predict it for this year.  Samson Mow has been predicting it for longer. It's just that we're 4 months in and as time goes on and the price is at these levels, it becomes more improbable. But it would be great for me. Yes, and he's had some disastrous prediction failures in the past, but I guess he keeps saying things like this because it gets him headlines.

Why would we be surprised at this point? We were surprised when Btc broke $1000, $10k and $100k… I don’t think btc making another x10 is news anymore because it eventually will. The question isn’t “if”, it is “when”. This year is though, I dunno. That looks unlikely to me. Next year has a better chance. I wish mcafee was alive to see this.

That a person such as Robert Kiyosaki was able to write one of the best selling book on entrepreneurial expertise and wealth creation doesn't give him a foresight into the future on predicting the exact price of bitcoin. The inconsistency of the two prices given between 2024 and 2025 obviously sends a message that most of these financial influencers are doing a lot of guess work on bitcoin price following the presence economic conditions which doesn't make it certain. This days we have been so lazy on carefully doing our own study of the economy base on current economic realities using the indices to make our analysis unbiased could help us reach a personal prediction which could be closed to what bitcoin price could reach in the future. But no, we wait and depends on public figures as though they know it all and can't be wrong.

Yes, we have seen a lot of speculation done by Robert Kiyosaki, but I don't really care and confident of Robert's response, because he is a writer and author of books like Rich Dad, Poor, Warner Books and so on. For that I am sure Robert Kiyosaki knows and understands writing something to Bitcoin will make him admire and appreciate, what's more Bitcoin speculation that he predicts really happens, so writing speculation of Bitcoin prices is easier and more famous faster. Well, for that to be honest for me and I'm not sure the price of Bitcoin can reach $1 million this year, just imagine to reach $100k it takes 16 years, logic, speculation does not make sense $1 million.

For those who haven't read most of the thread, he said that it will likely be $1M in 2035, which makes sense. How many halvings will we get there? I also believe that we'll get there in due time, but not for this cycle or maybe the next one. But I'll love Fink more if his prediction happens for this year. Robert is a known Bitcoin holder and he's always bullish about its future price. For every podcast that he's asked or discussed about Bitcoin, he always boasts his predictions about it. I mean he's with us so we cannot hate him, we can hate him for other things but not for his liking for Bitcoin.

I stopped looking at numbers for a while but surprised someone still thinks it's worth being audacious any longer (RIP McAfee heh heh). Only thing I strongly agree here though is that Trump actually only brought on what was surely coming. And by pulling off that band aid, he's probably, if unwittingly, saved USD from some future major pain. Don't get me wrong, it's still going to hurt like hell.

If he could get away with it, he would say bitcoin would be 100 million. He knows that if he says that it would be "unrealistic" and then he wouldn't be cared and he would be just ignored and that is why he is saying only a million dollars. This should be another thing we just chalk up as his craziness and just ignore and not really consider how it could be any truth to it at all. Don't get me wrong I do believe bitcoin would go up and nothing would happen to make it go crazy and should be a greater profit for us. But, just because we can make a profit with it doesn't mean that we are going to see it reach a million dollars, and certainly not anytime soon. So that is why would we care for him. He is a nobody, he tries to be somebody but all he has is media power he has.

This man is more of an engagement seeker this time around than being a good analyst to look up to. All his predictions for Bitcoin – none have come to pass – and now he is making more predictions for Bitcoin again, and this time it is far down to $1M. It's good to be positive, but his prediction expectations are on the high side. How he comes up with those numbers is what I don't know, but I know for sure that he's making money from his followers.

When we get close to almost 99% of all Bitcoin has been mined, maybe 2-3 halvings from now, maybe we will see this kind of price. What I don't like about Robert though is that he is throwing this absurd numbers right now. I remember him predicting that the price will be $200k for this cycle. For most of us, that numbers might not be reach although it might be closed though. And with that, it's obvious that he is shilling for Bitcoin and he could have bought a lot already and just waiting for a huge profit. And he suddenly pops up though in social media during the pandemic and so it makes me wonder did he really need that? Or he is turning into McAfee 2.0 (RIP) shilling?

What I don't like about him is that he makes too many predictions and is inconsistent with his predictions. In just a short period from 2024 to early 2025, he kept changing his prediction, bitcoin would hit $350k, then $250k and then continued to lower expectations and said bitcoin could hit $180k0 - $200k by 2025. He seems to be like us, making predictions based on emotions and expectations, and unable to provide any analysis to make his predictions more reliable. But to be fair, $200k is the most realistic target and the bull season is not over yet, so we should not be too quick to say that bitcoin will not be able to reach this target.

150K-200k is the way to go. We will need just to wait patiently for it to happen, and hope the turmoil won't engulf everything like it did a few weeks before

What differentiates you and from Robert Kiyosaki ( The author of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad") is that he's a public figure and doesn't control the price of Bitcoin, rather the market forces, Supply and demand. When it comes Bitcoin price predictions, he's isn't more better than PlanB those days of stock to flow model,  but at some point the model failed,  I'm not taking into account whatsoever they say to decide my investment, the market is full of sentiment and speculations, whereas Bitcoin does what it wants to do at any given time. Sometimes when all these institutional investor's or market participants like Larry Fink speaks or predicts what they think the price of Bitcoin would go to, I'm very usually cautious if I'm about to buy because they use that as a strategy to dump coins on incoming buyers.
