According to research by the CFA Institute cited in the report, 94% of state and government-sponsored pension funds are invested in one or more cryptocurrencies despite the obvious risks.
As reported by U.Today, Kiyosaki gave a few reasons why he would consider buying Bitcoin.
The "Rich Dad Poor Dad" author mentioned that a string of actions by the U.S. government, including excessive borrowing, rising inflation and an increase in interest rates, as a result, have contributed to the U.S. dollar "dying." He predicts that the prices of Bitcoin, gold and silver could significantly increase in the future.

Michael Saylor reacts to Peter Brandt's criticism
MicroStrategy Chairman, Michael Saylor, has responded to Peter Brandt's criticism of the "laser eyes" movement. Peter Brandt stated in a tweet that he would not have predicted Bitcoin's sub-$20,000 price and has drawn the attention of the MicroStrategy Chairman.
I count myself as one who would NOT have predicted sub $20,000 in Oct 2022.
— Peter Brandt (@PeterLBrandt) October 7, 2022
According to Saylor, "Laser eyes signifies a long-term commitment to bitcoin based on its ethical, technical, and economic superiority to alternate assets. All major financial asset classes have been losing trades over the past year. That is why we don't trade, we hodl."
