«Few can afford a $100,000 Bitcoin,» says Kiyosaki.

Instead of bitcoin, he recommends buying silver, which is cheaper.
Entrepreneur and author Robert Kiyosaki once again referred to the bitcoin (BTC) market and cryptocurrencies with a message focused on economic accessibility. According to his approach, “few can afford BTC at $100,000,” which is why, he believes, silver would be a more viable alternative for people with fewer resources.
Kiyosaki argues that precious metals are an accessible opportunity for those seeking to hedge against inflation. He noted that «even poor people can afford $50 in silver,» while a bitcoin at 100,000 dollars It would be out of reach for the majority.
The author reiterates one of his maxims: «Your profit is obtained by buying… not by selling.» Based on that logic, he assured that silver could rise to 70 dollars and subsequently reach $200 per ounce within a year.
This vision leads him to recommend to his followers that they do not wait for significant increases to enter the market. «When silver is at $200 an ounce, the losers will start buying. Please don’t be a loser,» he says.
Kiyosaki forgets that bitcoin has satoshis
However, its approach to bitcoin omits a basic technical element: the digital currency is divided into minimum units called «satoshis», which allows the purchase of fractional amounts.
According to on-chain data collected by analysis platforms such as CryptoQuant, most of the minimum units that make up each user’s balance It is concentrated in ranges below 0.1 BTC.
This is seen in the following graph:
This distribution shows that the network is dominated by holders with small amountsconfirming that retail accumulation is primarily done through fractional purchases and not through the acquisition of a full bitcoin.
Furthermore, the comparison between bitcoin and precious metals does not take into account their structural differences. The thing is that, while silver and gold do not have a known maximum supply, bitcoin operates on a protocol with a pre-programmed emission that cannot be altered and it is known that more than 21 million BTC will never exist.
For some market analysts, such as Daniel Arráez, who was consulted by NoticiasVE, this characteristic makes the digital asset a different safeguard tool than traditional metals, especially in contexts where there is high monetary expansion or financial uncertainty.
Bitcoin for everyone
Indeed, It is not necessary to buy an entire bitcoin to start a wealth protection strategy. Each bitcoin is divisible into 100 million satoshis, so anyone can acquire small fractions equivalent to the amount they wish to invest. This property makes the digital asset accessible even if its total price seems high.
In this way, a small amount of bitcoin is enough to begin to protect yourself against inflation and economic crises. Yes, little by little.
The reason is that the digital asset maintains a limited and predictable supply, which contrasts with national currencies subject to frequent monetary expansions. For those living in countries with high devaluation, such as Venezuela, even a moderate fraction of bitcoin can act as a savings more resistant to local value deterioration.
Since its creation, bitcoin has maintained an upward trend which has taken its price to new all-time highs. The most recent record is $126,000, hit at the beginning of October of this year.
As seen in the graph above, The progressive accumulation of fractions of bitcoin in the long term usually provides profits to its holders (even without they do not have 1 full bitcoin).
Thus, it is not necessary to own an entire bitcoin—as Kiyosaki seems to imply—to obtain that type of protection. What matters is the proportion of the digital asset that is acquired and how it is held over time.
