Video News/Vancouver Resource Investment Conference 2026

Gold and silver are sending a warning signal, according to best-selling author Robert Kiyosaki, as both metals surge simultaneously amid growing stress in global currencies. Speaking with Kitco News at VRIC 2026 in Vancouver, Kiyosaki said the current move reflects a breakdown in confidence in fiat systems, not speculation. Holding up a Zimbabwean dollar during the interview, he equated fiat currency with collapse, stating, “This is toilet paper,” as he argued that smart money is rotating out of paper assets and into hard assets. Kiyosaki pushed back on rumors circulating online that he sold his silver to buy Bitcoin, rejecting the idea of trading precious metals for fiat currency. He emphasized silver’s strategic importance as both an industrial and monetary metal, particularly as demand accelerates from technology, defense, and AI infrastructure. Kiyosaki framed the moment as part of a broader historical pattern, warning that when gold and silver rise together, it has often preceded major monetary resets, leaving unprepared savers exposed to currency debasement.
