Moreover, he has been <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/in-5-years-you-will-wish-you-bought-more-bitcoin-robert-kiyosaki\/\">advising<\/a> people to buy more BTC, as well as gold, silver, and he recently added ETH to his narrative.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s even more interesting is that he has made multiple posts on X indicating that he has bought more. Just a few examples include on July 1, 2025, when he literally <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/is-robert-kiyosaki-a-sucker-for-buying-more-bitcoin\/\">said<\/a> on X that he had \u201cbought another bitcoin today.\u201d At the time, the cryptocurrency traded between $105,000 and $110,000 \u2013 this is important for the story in this article.<\/p>\n<p>Then, just a few weeks later, when BTC exploded above $117,000, he <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-hits-fresh-all-time-high-as-saylor-and-kiyosaki-want-to-buy-more\/\">noted<\/a> that he was \u201cgoing to buy one more bitcoin asap.\u201d Kiyosaki also <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/robert-kiyosaki-ignores-btc-and-eth-prices-heres-why-you-should-too\/\">explained<\/a> in early 2026 that he ignores the prices of BTC and ETH and just keeps buying more.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, in his most recent post on the matter, which caused significant backlash, he claimed that he stopped buying bitcoin at $6,000. Just for reference, the cryptocurrency hasn\u2019t traded at such low levels since right after the COVID-19 crash in mid-2020. In fact, even with its recent crash to $60,000, that\u2019s still 10x from the price he claimed.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, the ever-vigilant crypto community quickly picked up the inconsistency in his posts on X, and <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DirtyveganETH\/status\/2019697539705196757\">lashed out<\/a> about being a liar \u2013 either now, or he has been lying for years.<\/p>\n<h2>More Lies?<\/h2>\n<p>Others went after different claims he has made throughout the years, mostly for major crashes and different investment advice he had given, many of which never materialized. Mark McGrath, for instance, brought up a chart with many of his comments and shot straight at Kiyosaki, claiming that he is \u201csuch a lying grifter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re such a lying grifter holy cow.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve been pumping all 3 of these non stop daily for years and now you claim you were never buying?<\/p>\n<p>How you didn\u2019t win the financial charlatan of the year award, I\u2019ll never understand <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/gv6D9mNLM4\">pic.twitter.com\/gv6D9mNLM4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mark McGrath (@MarkMcGrathCFP) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MarkMcGrathCFP\/status\/2019619855381721536?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 6, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/robert-kiyosaki-faces-backlash-over-contradictory-bitcoin-buying-claims\/\">Robert Kiyosaki Faces Backlash Over Contradictory Bitcoin Buying Claims<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The author of the Rich Dad Poor Dad best-seller came under fire recently after making some interesting yet highly controversial comments about when he allegedly stopped buying certain assets, including BTC.
