Robert Kiyosaki, author of the personal-finance bestseller "Rich Dad Poor Dad" and a longtime <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> (BTC) advocate, has spelled out what he sees as the right moment to buy hard assets.
The remarks come as Bitcoin and precious metals both endure multi-week losses. This has sharpened the debate over whether the current dip is a buying opportunity or a warning sign.

In a June 20 <a href="https://x.com/theRealKiyosaki" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">post on X</a>, Kiyosaki said one of his recurring mistakes has been "letting price determine reasons to buy or sell any asset."
<blockquote>
 "I have learned to understand the “context” or the environment the asset is in….not the price."&nbsp;
</blockquote>
Kiyosaki gave the example of how he gauges real estate by job growth and a property's surroundings.&nbsp;
For gold, silver, and Bitcoin, he watches "our political and banking leaders."
<blockquote>
 "Are they solving the problems of the US and world economy or making things worse? I&nbsp;think our global lesders are incompetent only making things worse," he added.&nbsp;
</blockquote>
It's a framework he has long applied to Bitcoin,<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Ethereum</a>&nbsp;(ETH), gold and silver, which he champions as protection against a debasing dollar.

As the political environment becomes uncertain, Kiyosaki said he is tracking gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum on technical charts.
<blockquote>
 "So I am watching prices of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and [Ethereum] on technical charts and will buy when prices reverse their decline," he said.
</blockquote>
Kiyosaki added that "the technical charts on gold and silver show they are poised for a massive rise in prices," while urging followers to run their own analysis.&nbsp;
<blockquote>
 "The smart will get richer,…the ignorant will do nothing…. Which might be the smart thing for them to do," Kiyosaki concluded.&nbsp;
