In September, the renowned author urged investors to get into crypto-currencies now, before the biggest market crash occurs.
Robert Kiyosaki also made other dire predictions, including the collapse of the U.S. dollar, the destruction of the U.S. economy by the Fed with its rate hikes, hyperinflation, a Great Depression and World War III.
