[Rich Dad Author Warns of Dollar Collapse; Silver to Become the Structural Metal of the AI Era] ⑴ Robert Kiyosaki, author of *Rich Dad Poor Dad*, issued a major warning, arguing that the US dollar may face its largest collapse in history, potentially plunging the global monetary system into a complex situation. In an interview, he reiterated his strong bullish stance on precious metals, pointing out that silver's rise stems not only from monetary instability but also from structural demand driven by technological prosperity. ⑵ Kiyosaki defines silver as the structural metal of the future. He mentions the rise of artificial intelligence, the widespread adoption of solar energy, and the expansion of related fields, believing that market demand for silver is endless. Against this backdrop, silver breaking through $100 is inevitable, and with continued industrial demand growth expected in 2026, it could even reach $200. ⑶ The simultaneous rise of gold and silver is interpreted as a warning signal for the US dollar. Kiyosaki cites historical patterns, pointing out that when precious metals rise together, it often signifies that the fiat currency system is nearing the end of its life cycle. He recalls his personal experience during the collapse of the Zimbabwean dollar, warning that excessive repatriation of overseas dollars could trigger hyperinflation. (4) Market sentiment is already reflected in fund flows. The latest Bank of America fund manager survey shows that short positions in the US dollar have climbed to their highest level since 2012, with traders leaning towards a de-dollarization narrative. Although hard economic data has not yet fully validated this theme, fund allocation has already reflected this shift in expectations. (5) As a protective measure, Kiyosaki not only holds precious metals, but he also emphasizes using ounces rather than dollars as a measure of wealth and stores a large amount of precious metals outside the United States. This operation reflects a substantial hedge against the potential risks of the dollar system. (6) Kiyosaki's criticism extends to monetary policy and wealth distribution. He sees the Fed's expansion of the money supply as the root cause of increased income inequality, arguing that excessive money printing is particularly damaging to the middle class. While he hopes a dollar collapse will not occur, he is making comprehensive preparations for it.
