So a totally fake and bankrupt scammer and anti-vax spammer who advises investing in MLM scams and who is aptly described as a racist idiot Trump supporter himself describes all fiat currency as a total scam and "fake money", huh?
Do you also have high praise for the book he wrote with Donald J Trump about "Why We Want You to Be Rich?"
Who you choose to worship and parrot says so much about you and the quality of your advice and beliefs.
>The Intercept wrote critically of the book's advice, including the recommendation by Trump and Kiyosaki to invest in multi-level marketing companies, asserting instead that these are harmful pyramid schemes.[1] The Intercept contrasted assertions in the book with promises by Trump during his 2016 campaign for president, writing Trump's later views were contradictory with the work.[1] San Antonio Express-News was critical of the contradictory advice imparted in the book, writing, "Trump and Kiyosaki argued that because they were already rich, they had no need to make more money, all the while cashing in on the very books that said so."[8] The paper marveled at the reaction among consumers, "Fans responded to this kind of contradiction by praising both the authors' earlier financial success and their shrewdness in taking advantage of the new opportunity to sell."[8]
>The Ultimate Hypocrite: Robert Kiyosaki and His Company’s Bankruptcy
>A story came across the news this weekend about Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and how his company went bankrupt last month. Basically, the company didn’t pay the proper royalties on its seminars, and when they lost in court, they didn’t have enough money to pay at all. It wasn’t a personal bankruptcy, rather, a corporate bankruptcy. However, a corporation with money should be able to pay up for a minor royalty dispute (only $23 million compared to $400+ million in revenues). And when your name is attached to a company, and your business is built around creating wealth, the word bankruptcy associated with it usually isn’t a good thing.
>However minor you may consider it, I find it appalling as a personal finance writer. This guy made a living on selling “his story” and encouraging others to fork out tons of money to hear it. In the end, the story crumbles, and it just makes him a hypocrite.

It doesn’t matter how you got the money, or who you stole from (or killed) to have it. If you have it, you’re God.
>People who pray at this altar are specifically susceptible to the sort of symbiotic grift that has made Robert Kiyosaki a rich man. (Well, rich-ish.) He convinces you to buy a book with Fisher-Price financial advice, and then encourages you to spread the gospel of grift to others—which creates the sort of following that allows him to charge tens of thousands for Matryoshka doll-constructed seminars where he delivers gems like “invest in things” and “dimes are worth twice as much as nickels.”

Kindly, I'm not from your country, and I didn't ask about your politics, or ideology.
I've just offered a quote from a book I read a few years ago, and thought it was an interesting concept. From what I've recently read, it doesn't seem to be an idea that rests purely at the feet of Kiyosaki, either. Many others seem to have good evidence backing it up.
Do you have a counter argument, or enhancement to offer to the idea that fiat currency could be fake money?
Do you also have high praise for the book he wrote with Donald J Trump about "Why We Want You to Be Rich?"
