Renowned author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad" Robert Kiyosaki recently underscored Bitcoin's supremacy over traditional assets like gold and silver. In a social media post, Kiyosaki expressed his preference for Bitcoin due to its fixed supply, contrasting it with the dynamic nature of gold and silver prices.
He highlighted the inherent limitation of Bitcoin's supply to 21 million coins, a factor that distinguishes it from precious metals and commodities like oil.
I love gold and silver. I own gold and silver mines. The problem with gold and silver is…the higher the prices go, the more gold and silver is found. Same with oil. I own oil wells also. That is not true with Bitcoin. No matter how high the price of Bitcoin goes there will only…

Kiyosaki's remarks come at a time when Bitcoin's price experienced a notable decline, dipping more than 6.5% in the past 12 hours. Despite this setback, Bitcoin is still hovering around $68,400, merely 9% lower than its record high, marking a remarkable ascent in recent times.
The author's confidence in Bitcoin's future prospects appears unshaken, as evidenced by his earlier prediction of BTC reaching $300,000 by 2024. Kiyosaki's bullish stance on cryptocurrency underscores a growing sentiment among investors and financial pundits, who see the cryptocurrency as a formidable store of value and investment opportunity.
Paradigm shift
Bitcoin's meteoric rise in recent years has garnered significant attention from both retail and institutional investors, with many viewing it as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty. Its decentralized nature and fixed supply have contributed to its allure, positioning it as a digital alternative to traditional assets.
While volatility remains a characteristic feature of the cryptocurrency market, proponents like Kiyosaki remain undeterred in their conviction of Bitcoin's long-term potential. As the debate between traditional assets and digital currencies continues, "Rich Dad's" endorsement adds weight to Bitcoin's status as a dominant player on the financial landscape, signaling a potential paradigm shift in investment preferences.
