New Delhi: Gold prices slipped on Thursday after a recent festive rally, as the precious metal showed signs of cooling from record levels. In India, 24-karat gold was priced around Rs 12,049 per gram, according to GoodReturns, compared to Rs 12,240 a day earlier. The 22-karat variant traded at about Rs 11,220 per gram. Globally, gold, which had touched an all-time high above $4,000 per ounce earlier this month, is now witnessing a phase of correction, prompting investors to reassess their short-term outlook. Amid the volatility, Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki reiterated his preference for assets such as gold, silver, and cryptocurrencies. “Adding to my gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum stack,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter), before posing a provocative question: “END of US Dollar?” Gold Rate Today (October 30) Kiyosaki also took aim at traditional savings, saying, “Savers of US dollars are losers. Be a winner. Take care.” His remarks have reignited debate about the strength of the US dollar and the role of alternative assets during periods of monetary uncertainty. Responding to his post, one user commented that fiat currency is “the tutorial they forgot to delete,” comparing it to “holding onto Blockbuster gift cards in the Netflix era.” The comment added: “This isn’t financial advice. It’s a eulogy for the dollar. Buy gold. Buy crypto. Stack assets.” Kiyosaki has long argued that hard assets like gold and silver, as well as decentralised digital currencies, can serve as protection against inflation and currency depreciation. While his comments often spark conversation among investors, analysts continue to caution that short-term price movements in both precious metals and cryptocurrencies remain driven by broader market and policy shifts rather than sentiment alone.
