Renowned financial educator and author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki, has recently increased his Bitcoin holdings, purchasing additional coins at around $110,000 per BTC. Kiyosaki warns that the real “fear of missing out” (FOMO) is about to ignite in the cryptocurrency market, signaling a phase of rapid price appreciation and heightened investor enthusiasm. He describes this upcoming period as the “Banana Zone,” a term popularized by economist Raoul Pal to depict a volatile but potentially lucrative rally driven by mass investor excitement.
Kiyosaki’s latest purchase reflects his disciplined investment approach. He identifies himself as a “fat pig” investor—one who steadily accumulates Bitcoin during market corrections and holds through volatility—contrasting with “hogs,” or impulsive investors who chase prices late and often suffer heavy losses. His strategy emphasizes patience and risk management amid Bitcoin’s bullish momentum.
Currently trading near $118,000, Bitcoin has entered this “Banana Zone” where institutional interest and retail FOMO converge, often leading to swift price surges. Kiyosaki predicts Bitcoin could reach $250,000 by the end of 2025, with some projections extending to $1 million within the next decade. He highlights Bitcoin’s scarcity—only about 1 or 2 million coins remain to be mined—and its growing adoption as key drivers of future price growth.
While optimistic, Kiyosaki cautions new investors to avoid emotional decisions fueled by hype. He warns that the stampede of latecomers into Bitcoin could trigger sharp corrections, or “slaughters,” trapping those who buy near peaks. His advice is to buy smartly during dips and hold long term, focusing on how much Bitcoin one owns rather than short-term price fluctuations.
