Renowned author of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and other books about financial literacy, markets and assets, Robert Kiyosaki, has taken to Twitter to shill Bitcoin, saying that it offers "the greatest upside" compared to other assets that allow for storing value and help protect funds and serve as an inflation hedge.
"Bitcoin has the greatest upside"
Bitcoin is blossoming, Kiyosaki tweets, gold is stagnating, the dollar is declining and silver is 50 percent under its all-time highs.
Bitcoin is booming. Gold is stagnant. Silver is 50% below all time highs. Dollar is dropping. Silver is the best, lowest risk high potential investment. Bitcoin has the greatest upside. With dollar dropping Bitcoin and silver are the best investments.
