[Financial News] Robert Kiyosaki, author of the bestseller "Rich Dad Poor Dad," argued that buying Bitcoin (BTC) is wiser than relying on your job.
According to a recent report by Cointelegraph, Kiyosaki said on his social media accounts that people should invest in spot assets such as BTC rather than entrust their future to the labor market. He stressed that going to school today for the sake of job security is meaningless, and as grounds for this claim he shared a list of 10 companies expected to carry out large-scale layoffs in 2025.
The list showed that United Parcel Service (UPS) would cut 48,000 jobs, the largest number among the companies named. Amazon planned to lay off 30,000 employees, followed by Intel with 20,000 and Verizon with 15,000. Microsoft (6,000), Salesforce (4,000), General Motors (GM) (3,420), IBM (2,700), Boeing (2,500) and Walmart (1,500) were also included among the firms expected to reduce headcount.
“These companies are concentrated in high-tech sectors, which means there is no longer any industry that can guarantee job security,” Kiyosaki asserted. He went on to say that the way to cope with this employment instability is to build financial literacy and accumulate real assets. He added, “Don’t save cash. Accumulate Gold, Silver, BTC and Ethereum.”
