He argues that changes to both the monetary system and retirement planning structures have contributed to inflation, debt accumulation and financial insecurity. These developments, in his view, have left many individuals exposed to long-term risks.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BAD NEWS:  History has ARRIVED.<\/p>\n<p>1974 was a future changing year.  <br \/>1974 marked two massive changes in our world\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p>Our problem is\u2026.in 2026, our future is here.<\/p>\n<p>The two 1974 future changing events were:<\/p>\n<p>1974 the US dollar became the Petro dollar.

This shift linked the currency to oil markets, influencing global trade and pricing dynamics. Kiyosaki contends that rising oil prices are now fuelling inflation, affecting both fuel and food costs.<\/p>\n<p>He also draws attention to escalating debt levels, describing a situation where governments and individuals are simultaneously highly leveraged. This environment, he suggests, increases vulnerability to economic shocks.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Kiyosaki identifies retirement reforms under ERISA as a major turning point. He explains that these changes replaced guaranteed pension income with investment-based accounts, transferring risk onto workers. He warns that many retirees may find their savings inadequate once they leave the workforce.<\/p>\n<p>To address these concerns, Kiyosaki continues to advocate for Bitcoin, gold and silver as alternative stores of value. He views these assets as more reliable than fiat currencies during periods of instability. He also stresses the need for stronger financial education, encouraging individuals to better understand money and investment risks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: Bitcoin Faces $10K Downside Warning as Oil Surge Rattles Markets<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Bitcoin,Bitcoin Gold,Gold#Robert #Kiyosaki #Warns #Financial #Crisis #Urges #Shift #Bitcoin #Gold1775459678<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kiyosaki links current financial instability to major policy changes introduced in 1974, particularly in monetary systems and retirement structures.
