Robert Kiyosaki, the author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad," recently made comments that stirred the crypto community. The investor, who has accurately predicted financial crises multiple times, stated that his focus is not on price fluctuations but on how much Bitcoin he holds. More notably, he provided a figure—by 2030, Bitcoin could potentially surpass the $1 million mark.

The logic behind this prediction is worth dissecting. First, there is the constraint on supply. Bitcoin's halving mechanism continuously tightens the supply of circulating new coins, while leading institutions like BlackRock are actively entering the market, gradually reducing selling pressure. Second, there are changes on the demand side. From El Salvador adopting Bitcoin as legal tender to the ongoing influx of institutional ETFs worldwide, the entire ecosystem's recognition of crypto assets is warming up. Looking at the macro environment, the global debt expansion and complex liquidity conditions are causing assets like BTC, which are scarce, to gradually shift from being classified as "risky assets" to "allocative assets."

Other mainstream cryptocurrencies like ETH and DOGE, despite their differing ecosystems, are also sharing in the benefits of the overall upgrade in market perception. Historically, Kiyosaki issued warnings before the 2008 housing crisis; will this prediction also be validated over time? Perhaps the issue isn't whether the specific price target can be reached but rather the underlying reflection of a restructured financial system—an ongoing long-term trend from centralized to decentralized.

ETH0.93%

Gurus like Cleese are back at it again, acting like they're about to change the world, but I just want to know—how much BTC does he really hold? Honestly, $1 million sounds great, but the narratives about halving and institutional deployment are everywhere now. The key factors are liquidity and macro conditions—who the hell can predict 2030? I respect Bitcoin as an asset allocation, but comparing DOGE and ETH to BTC? That's a big difference, brother. The hype around Cleese as a prophet is a bit overblown; he nailed it in 2008, but that doesn't mean he's right every time. Supply tightening is a fact, but is the selling pressure really easing? I think there are still a bunch of whales occasionally dumping. The logic sounds good, but the ones who really make money are never those who listen to predictions—they're the ones holding chips. BlackRock's deployment definitely changed the market nature, turning it from gambling into an institutional game, but don't forget the policy risks. Decentralizing and reconstructing the financial system? Sounds grand, but what's the reality—most people are still just watching the price.

Robert Kiyosaki's words are pretty good, but a million dollars? I think that's conservative. Institutions are rushing in madly, and the halving mechanism is tightly restricting supply... No problem with the logic, but the timeline is easily proven wrong, haha. Honestly, what's more important than how many coins you hold is—how long can you坚持hold? My Bitcoin still needs to keep sleeping, and ETH shouldn't be messed with either. The decentralized trend is indeed unstoppable, but that number of 1 million... should I bet or not? Anyway, Bitcoin will never be zero; it all depends on whether time will surprise us. Kiyosaki is a storyteller, but this time it might really be no exaggeration. Holding coins is the key, don't be fooled by the price and lose your mindset.

Robert Kiyosaki is right, the key is not the price but the holding volume. A million dollars by 2030, a moderate optimism, anyway I’ve already gone all in. BlackRock’s entry truly changed the game, no longer afraid of retail investors fleeing. Debt explosion combined with scarcity makes BTC the best insurance; it’s about time to see it that way. Salvador’s move was brilliant, directly turning Bitcoin into a political asset. Halving + institutional accumulation, liquidity is tightening more and more, whoever holds more wins. From risk assets to allocation assets, this single shift is worth it; the logic holds. Honestly, compared to price predictions, I care more about ecological recognition. ETH and DOGE are riding the wave, but I still believe the most in BTC’s scarcity. Kiyosaki’s accurate prediction in 2008 makes this a good bet too; anyway, time will tell.

Cleansing is back to paint a pie again, 1 million USD? I just want to ask how many coins he still holds in his hand Institutions are疯狂吸筹 (crazy accumulating), is it so scary? Retail investors still need to find ways to get on board Salvador's recent operation, honestly, has a bit of a gambler's mentality, but it indeed gives a reason for BTD Looking at the halving logic, it's just so-so; the key is whether institutions can withstand the buying pressure I trust his historical prediction record, but whether to believe the 100 million figure is another matter, haha DOGE riding the hype feels really comfortable, no one cares about the ecosystem or anything The debt expansion move is indeed BTC's strongest narrative, it convinced me Rather than studying the price, it's better to study how many sober BTC holders will remain before 2030
