📉 Robert Kiyosaki on the Falling Value of Money
“How much will $100 buy?”
1900: $100 could buy 8 months of groceries
1960: $100 = $37 in today’s value
2000: $100 = $6
2025: $100 = $3.80
💡 Money Tip #2:
To win as the global economy crashes:
👉 “Stop being a loser.”
Kiyosaki says losers stick to old money ideas taught by their parents.
In a crashing economy, losers cling to outdated financial thinking — and lose.
To be a winner:
✔ Think differently
✔ Stop relying on “fake money”
✔ Adapt as the economy changes
He reminds us that in Rich Dad Poor Dad (1996) he warned:
➡️ “Savers are losers.”
Kiyosaki says he practices what he teaches:
Saving silver since 1965
Buying gold since 1972
Buying Bitcoin since 2019
Buying Ethereum since 2023

Average Cost to Produce 1 BTC Among Public Miners

The average cash cost to mine one bitcoin has reached $74,600, while the all-in cost including depreciation and SBC climbed to $137,800.
With network hashrate surpassing the symbolic 1 ZH/s milestone, competition has intensified and mining profitability has sharply declined. This shift is pushing many public miners to reallocate capacity toward AI/HPC workloads, where margins are significantly higher than in traditional BTC mining.

As a result, the industry is splitting into two distinct models:

• Infrastructure providers repurposing mining data centers for high-margin compute tasks
• Traditional miners operating in a more competitive, near–zero-margin environment
