Robert Kiyosaki supports bitcoin because of its strong network effect and practical utility, considering weaker cryptocurrencies and fiat money to be doomed under the relentless power of economic laws.

Robert Kiyosaki's Cryptocurrency Filter: Why Bitcoin Survives His Monetary Law Test

Robert Kiyosaki, author of the bestselling book Rich Dad Poor Dad, has once again shared the reasons behind investing in bitcoin while clearly explaining why most other cryptocurrencies do not attract his interest. His book remains a global bestseller, translated into dozens of languages and continues to shape the financial thinking of readers worldwide.

Kiyosaki shared on social media platform X on May 24:

I invest in Bitcoin because [it] is a network. Most cryptocurrencies are not... I do not invest in worthless coins that lack a network, as they violate Metcalfe's Law.

For the famous author, bitcoin stands out because it adheres to what he calls "monetary law," particularly referring to Metcalfe's Law and Gresham's Law. Metcalfe's Law states that the value of a network increases with the number of users. Kiyosaki believes that the power of bitcoin lies in its decentralized, enormous network—unlike most other cryptocurrencies, which he believes lack meaningful acceptance and utility.

He compares successful networks like FedEx and McDonald's to bitcoin, noting that their value comes from being part of a system, not from individual efforts. Other cryptocurrencies, which he often refers to as "junk money," do not meet this standard and therefore are not worth investing in.

He also referenced Gresham's Law, which states that bad money drives out good money. Kiyosaki applies this to fiat currencies, particularly the U.S. dollar, which he considers to be "fake money." He emphasizes this in his post by stating:

I do not save U.S. dollars because the U.S. dollar violates Gresham's Law.

Kiyosaki has long warned about the dangers of fiat currency, government spending, and the potential collapse of the U.S. economy. His solution remains consistent: invest in assets with real value. For him, that means accumulating gold, silver, and bitcoin—because, as he says, they adhere to the laws that lead to wealth, not poverty.
