R. Kiyosaki says Bitcoin, gold, and silver best defense against global war in 2025

As global tensions escalate in 2025, famed finance author Robert Kiyosaki warned on X (May 8) that his favored assets – Bitcoin (BTC), gold, and silver – remain the best defense against financial and geopolitical uncertainty. According to the ‘ Rich Dad Poor Dad’ writer, Nissan, Toyota, and Honda’s decisions to stop selling their cars in the U.S. are consequences of a sequence of events that have ‘currency wars, lead to trade wars, lead to shooting wars.’ In Kiyosaki’s opinion, the alleged exit of Japanese car makers could result in massive unemployment across America, especially since he is not convinced that U.S. car companies such as Ford (NYSE: F), General Motors (NYSE: GM), and Stellantis (NYSE: STLA) can close the gap. OMG: Toyota, Honda, and Nissan have decided to stop selling cars in US. This will mean massive unemployment and crash of many towns dependent upon Japanese cars.

However, he reaffirmed that ‘gold, silver, and Bitcoin (are) still your defense in this global war caused by greed, insanity, and fear.’ Are Bitcoin, Gold, and Silver really a ‘defense in this global war?’ Although it is uncertain if Bitcoin can be used as a shield against nuclear fallout, the world’s premier cryptocurrency has been performing well in May, if not throughout 2025. Year-to-date (YTD), BTC is up only a relatively modest 6.49% but has recently entered an impressive rally, promising to regain the psychologically critical $100,000 level with its May 8, press time price of $99.586. Gold and silver have, however, been performing admirably since January one with the world’s largest commodity by market capitalization soaring 27.44% to $3,345 this year. Silver—a metal Kiyosaki has repeatedly forecast will double in value in 2025—is up 9.68% YTD and changing hands at $32.42.
