Robert Kiyosaki Defends Cryptocurrencies Against Charlie Munger’s Criticism
In a recent interview with Stansberry Research, Robert Kiyosaki, the best-selling author of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," shared his views on Charlie Munger's call for a ban on cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.
While Munger criticizes cryptocurrencies, Kiyosaki believes that younger generations embrace them due to their legitimate accounting system. Kiyosaki further states that the focus should be on the underlying technology rather than the price movement of cryptocurrencies.
“Charlie would probably still say buy stocks, but I like cryptos, not Bitcoin, because of blockchain, and blockchain is an accounting system. It’s more legitimate than the fed or the treasury or Wall Street, so Charlie Munger is in the FED treasury Wall Street crowd, and the younger generations, millennials and below, are in the iPhone crowd.”
Kiyosaki has gained a reputation for being a successful investor and financial educator, which has made his views on cryptocurrencies highly anticipated.
