American entrepreneur and author of the book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad,” Robert Kiyosaki, spoke about the influence of the famous futurist Richard Buckminster Fuller on his worldview. In a recent publication, he linked his mentor’s long‑standing technological predictions to the emergence of Bitcoin and the active development of artificial intelligence. Kiyosaki also raised the question of a person’s personal purpose and recalled his own journey from working in the music business to creating a financial board game and writing world‑renowned bestsellers. The entrepreneur noted that he had previously earned money by developing products for bands such as The Police, Van Halen, and Iron Maiden. Despite his financial success, he gradually felt an inner emptiness. The turning point was meeting Fuller, under whom Kiyosaki studied for three summer seasons.

Kiyosaki described Fuller as a friendly genius and an outstanding futurist who predicted a number of large‑scale changes in the world. Among them, the entrepreneur specifically highlighted the emergence of the first cryptocurrency and the development of neural networks. According to him, the mentor foresaw such world‑changing phenomena as Bitcoin and the impending spread of artificial intelligence. At the same time, the publication was not so much about the technological forecasts themselves as about how the teacher’s words influenced Kiyosaki himself. He recalled Fuller’s phrase that a person belongs to the Universe, and their true purpose is revealed through dedicating their life to maximizing benefit for others. It took the entrepreneur some time to fully grasp the meaning of these words.

The topic of digital assets regularly appears in Kiyosaki’s financial speeches. Previously, he repeatedly stated that he buys Bitcoin when other investors are panicking, and he associated cryptocurrencies with capital protection amid problems in the traditional financial system. He also called Ether the best asset for investment. In 2026, Kiyosaki continued to predict a large‑scale collapse of financial markets, calling it a potential opportunity for prepared investors. Among the defensive assets, he highlights Bitcoin, Ether, gold, and silver. Previously, the entrepreneur assumed that after a global market downturn, Bitcoin could rise to seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars, Ethereum to ninety‑five thousand, gold to thirty‑five thousand per ounce, and silver to two hundred dollars.
