How to Protect Yourself from the Fed's Policies - Robert Kiyosaki

In the latest episode of the Rich Dad Radio Show, Robert Kiyosaki is joined by Brien Lundin and Anthony Pompliano for a crucial discussion on why gold, silver, and Bitcoin should be key components of your investment strategy. As government policies and central bank actions continue to drive economic uncertainty, understanding these alternative investments has never been more important.

This episode is essential for anyone looking to safeguard their financial future in the face of economic uncertainty. Kiyosaki, Lundin, and Pompliano provide actionable insights into how gold, silver, and Bitcoin can serve as powerful tools for protecting and growing wealth. Their discussion challenges conventional investment strategies and offers a compelling case for why these alternative assets should be central to any diversified portfolio.

The Importance of Gold and Silver: A Historical Perspective

Brien Lundin opens the conversation by recounting the pivotal role Jim Blanchard played in restoring Americans' right to own gold. Following President Roosevelt’s 1933 ban on gold ownership, Blanchard's relentless lobbying led to the legalization of gold ownership in 1974, under President Gerald Ford. This historic victory set the stage for gold and silver to become essential hedges against currency devaluation. Lundin advises against collectible proof coins and instead recommends simple gold bullion coins like American Gold Eagles and junk silver coins, emphasizing the importance of holding physical metals as a safeguard against economic instability.

Bitcoin: The Digital Gold

Anthony Pompliano, widely known as Pomp, provides insight into the creation and evolution of Bitcoin. Conceived by the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008, Bitcoin was launched in 2009 as a decentralized digital currency resistant to government control and manipulation. Pompliano emphasizes the need to focus solely on Bitcoin, warning against scams and highlighting its dominance in the cryptocurrency market. For those concerned about security, he suggests investing in Bitcoin through publicly traded trusts like GBTC, which can be held in IRAs.

Why Gold, Silver, and Bitcoin Matter Now

Kiyosaki and his guests stress that gold, silver, and Bitcoin offer critical protection against the systemic risks posed by rampant money printing and currency debasement. As the U.S. government continues to print trillions of dollars, the value of fiat currency is expected to decline, making these alternative assets increasingly valuable. Lundin points out that gold and silver have consistently protected wealth through periods of currency destruction, while Pompliano underscores Bitcoin's appeal due to its decentralized nature and resistance to manipulation.

Gresham’s Law and Modern Investment Strategies

The episode also touches on Gresham’s Law, which suggests that "bad money drives out good." Historically, people would hoard gold and silver while spending less valuable fiat currency. Today, this principle is reflected in the growing adoption of Bitcoin as a means to preserve wealth. Pompliano likens converting U.S. dollars into Bitcoin to a strategy for protecting financial assets in an increasingly uncertain economic environment.

Nice to see your video! I used to follow other YouTubers, buying their courses and tools, and even copying their trades. But I ended up losing a lot - from $210k to $80k. It was an addictive cycle, but I've come to realize that most of them are inexperienced and unqualified. I've since stopped watching and reevaluated my approach.

[agathacolleen]

I lost over $80k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Charlotte Miller.

The looming recession and the Fed's rhetoric of raising interest rates have investors extremely concerned. I'm not sure what to do with my $600, 000 portfolio yet. because we may not enter a recession, and even if the Fed is hawkish, interest rates may not be raised further.

I Hit 12k today trading. Started last month 2024. Financial education is indeed required for more than 70% of the society in the country as very few are literate on the subject. thanks to Louise O'Brien for helping me achieve this.

[AmirSingh-epkt]

I've been making a lot of losses trying to make profit trading. I thought trading on a demo account is just like trading the real market. Can anyone help me out or at least advise me on what to do?

[khamluangviseth]

Thank you so much sir Robert Kiyosaki. You are the best God bless you

One thing I have learned about the stock market is that it is very very manipulated. It will not let investors know when it go up or down. It will always do the opposite what investors think it might do... If investors can figure out what the market is going to do, companies will go bankruptcy.... So I don't waste my time and energy to bother what the market is going to for me .. Long & short-term trading is generally safer, allowing investors to weather market volatility. I have managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 732k in the space of a few months... I'm especially grateful to Katherine Stewart, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape.

As much as I'm bullish on BTC. I absolutely love the concept behind ETH being an open sourced, decentralised network the new internet!

[stoepie]

As soon as someone says BTC is crap and gold is the best, or gold is crap and BTC is the best, I stop listening. When someone like Robert talks about both and that each has it's place, then I listen and take notes.

[khoobookiong]

I'm curious when this was recorded. Coz Pomp said Bitcoin halving is coming up at 43:08.... Did bitcoin not just halved a few months back?

[scottarmstrong]

As recession mount on Wall Street and inflation remains well above the Fed's 2% target, some economics sounded off on just how bad this downturn might be — and how far stocks may have to fall. I need ideas and advice on what investments to make to set myself up for retirement, my goal is to have a portfolio of at least $850k at the age of 60.

I understand there are safeguards but storing your money on a computer?
