Robert Kiyosaki said an advance manuscript of “The Entropy Trap” by Mickey M. Maini, shared by Jim Rickards, changed how he views global finance and strengthened his warning that investors relying on traditional assumptions could be caught out by a broader financial shift. The Rich Dad Poor Dad author described the book as opening his eyes to what and why global financial change may be coming. Kiyosaki argued that assets dependent on trust, including U.S. bonds, ETFs and mutual funds, could be vulnerable if confidence in existing financial structures weakens. He again pointed to Japan as an example of a large bond holder that he said has already started dumping U.S. bonds, though he did not provide supporting data. Framing the claim as a warning rather than a proven outcome, he said informed investors could become the “ULTRA RICH” while those operating by the “old rules of money” risk falling behind. He said his study team plans an August session to examine the book’s message and that Rickards may join. The comments fit with Kiyosaki’s broader recent warnings about fragility in the global monetary system, particularly around the U.S. dollar, rising debt, central bank policies and inflation. Alongside those concerns, he has repeatedly promoted bitcoin, gold and silver as alternative stores of value during periods of currency weakness and market turbulence.
