Robert Kiyosaki told followers on X that holding cash as savings is a losing strategy, arguing that its purchasing power erodes as money supply expands. In his June 12, 2026 post, he contrasted how long it would take to spend $1,000,000,000,000 at $1 per minute with how quickly he says the Fed and U.S. Treasury can create that amount. He urged people to consider gold, silver, Bitcoin and Ethereum instead of cash.

Polymarket drew criticism after traders said it revised the settlement standard for a live market asking whether Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) would sell any Bitcoin by May 31.

One trader, Hunter Guo, said he lost an expected gain of about $35,000 after buying thousands of “Yes” contracts shortly before the ruling.
