Robert Kiyosaki saw the collapse in 2008 as a huge opportunity to buy real estate. In fact, using good debt he borrowed $300 million to purchase thousands of rental units.
A short time later, Bitcoin came on the scene and was all the craze. Robert admits that he didn't know anything about it then, and stuck to what he does know-real estate. But one thing that became clear was that cryptocurrencies weren't assets that put money in your pocket every month but instead they were a hedge against a dying dollar.
In this video, Robert explains how debt and taxes can make the investor rich, not the asset. And more importantly, how you should study the right teacher before choosing an asset.
