The best-selling author Rich Dad, Poor DadRobert Kiyosaki, made public how many bitcoins he owns. He said he bought his first Bitcoin at USD 6,000 and will continue to buy more. The acclaimed author comments that he owns 73 BTCapproximately USD 5.5 million. With his Bitcoin holdings alone, Kiyosaki is a millionaire.
In a post on Twitter, he reflects on the “words and thoughts of a poor person” and explains how some people view Bitcoin at $76,000 and they consider it too expensive, hoping the price will drop. He also mentions that he bought silver at $1 per ounce, and today it is trading at $32 per ounce.
For Kiyosaki, at the time he bought his first bitcoins at USD 6,000, it seemed expensive because could have bought at USD 10 in the past. However, he says he is glad he bought at that price.
The writer says that he intends to reach 100 BTC in the next year, regardless of the price, making it clear that he will continue buying and holding his BTC.
“I too wish Bitcoin were worth $10 per coin again… but “wishing” has never made the poor richer.”
Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad.
Kiyosaki, unfan de Bitcoin
Kiyosaki has become one of the most bullish personalities regarding Bitcoin in recent years. The author pointed out that “the collapse of all markets” is very close and that gold, silver and bitcoin, They will be the only real refuge for the people.
In his enthusiasm, he has published some predictions that, although they have not been so accurate, demonstrate his vision about cryptocurrencies.
In February of this year, with the rise of Bitcoin driven by the arrival of ETFs, Kiyosaki commented that Bitcoin would go above USD 100,000 by June. That is, an increase of more than 100% for the price at the time, which was trading at over USD 42 thousand.
By March, with Bitcoin hitting its first ATH of the year above $73,700, Kiyosaki tripled his bet and said it would hit $300,000 this year.
The June prediction failed, and while bitcoin is setting new ATHs, we are still almost 300% below the prediction for the end of the year.
