Many people say we are experiencing a “crypto winter”. However, this may underestimate the situation.

Famous writer warned about this market
Robert Kiyosaki, author of “Rich Dad, Poor Dad,” warns investors that they should focus on the bond market. He tweeted in July that the bond markets had suffered “the biggest crash since 1788”. The finance writer says that this drop will be affected by Bitcoin:
The US Bond Market is crashing. Biggest bond crash since 1788. China’s renewable energy bond market is collapsing. More than 90 million vacant apartments in China. Bond markets are larger than the stock market. Now I’m buying more gold, silver and waiting for Bitcoin to drop.
US Bond Market crashes. Biggest bond crash since 1788. China’s RE bond market crashing. Over 90 million empty condos in China. Bond markets bigger than stock market. I am buying more gold, silver now,and waiting for Bitcoin to go lower.

Robert Kiyosaki has previously said that a coronavirus vaccine that works will “crash” Bitcoin. He had also previously warned that inflation could lead to depression. Following Kiyosaki’s estimates, foreclosures increased 700% from last year. However, bond markets have historically reacted negatively to news of rate hikes. In times of extreme market panic, gold was a life saver as funds were diverted to the safe-haven asset. If a recession occurs in the US, the yellow metal could provide some relief, according to Kiyosaki. By the way, it is worth noting that the famous writer Solana failed his predictions. He was right about the strength of the US dollar that we will see a volatile market in 2022.
