Robert Kiyosaki, an American businessman and author known for "Rich Dad Poor Dad" personal finance books, has opined that only "stupid" people cannot get rich with Bitcoin.
He claims that the largest cryptocurrency makes it easy to become wealthy since one simply has to buy and hold it.
"As an old guy, you had to be very smart to get rich. Bitcoin makes getting rich easy," he said on social media.
Even though Bitcoin ended up surging above $100,000 in the fourth quarter of the year, some prominent names remain skeptical.
As reported by U.Today, American billionaire Cliff Asness recently stated that he continues to view Bitcoin as a bubble.
However, the consensus appears to be that the cryptocurrency might be poised to surge higher in 2025 due to crypto-friendly policies in the U.S.
Fundstrat's Tom Lee has predicted that the cryptocurrency could soar to $250,000 in 2025.
Kiyosaki himself recently predicted that the Bitcoin price would be able to reach $350,000 this year.
Earlier this month, he opined that a recent BTC price crash was "great news" since the cryptocurrency was "on sale."
Bitcoin has so far struggled to gain a foothold above the crucially important $100,000 level, with bulls facing multiple rejections. The cryptocurrency has been hit hard by the Fed's hawkish about-turn. There is a real possibility that it could implement zero rate cuts this year, according to Bank of America.
However, Bitcoin bulls of the likes of Kiyosaki remain unfazed.
