Sharing what he described as a personal anecdote, Kiyosaki said he had shown a friend his Coinbase app, which “a few years ago was pathetic”. The account, he said, now holds “millions in Bitcoin”. Yet his friend, he noted, “could not see the millions in gain… all he could see was the thousands in losses”.
“That psychological emotional difference is the key difference between the rich, poor and middle class,” Kiyosaki wrote. “It’s called EQ, or emotional intelligence.”
According to him, “losers have low EQ. They live in the emotion known as fear,” while “the rich know that ‘fear’ and ‘greed’ are both EQs we all have… and the rich and successful respect both EQs.”
“EQ is more powerful than IQ and that is why many highly educated people like my poor dad died poor,” Kiyosaki said, calling emotional intelligence “more important than IQ in the world of money.”

Bitcoin trades steady
Kiyosaki’s bullish remarks come as Bitcoin hovered around $113,125 on Wednesday, with short-term volatility driven by liquidations ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s policy decision and uncertainty over the U.S.–China trade deal.According to Edul Patel, CEO of Mudrex, Bitcoin is likely to remain range-bound “until there’s clarity on the Fed’s rate cut decision and the U.S.–China trade deal”, but any positive news “could put bulls back in control”, pushing BTC past resistance at $117,400.
Support for the world’s largest cryptocurrency remains firm around $107,800, Patel said.
The CoinDCX Research Team noted that Bitcoin “yet again faced a strong rejection from local highs above $116,000”, while Ethereum slipped below $4,000 and other major altcoins including Solana, Dogecoin, and Cardano traded lower.
A long-running faith in scarce assets
Kiyosaki’s latest post builds on his long-held distrust of fiat money and preference for scarce assets such as Bitcoin, gold, and silver. Earlier this month, he urged investors to “not be late” in buying Bitcoin, warning that its supply is “running low” as the number of coins yet to be mined falls below two million.
As he summed it up in his latest post: “If you want to be rich and happy… it is important you have high EQ which means being smarter than your greed and fear. Take care.”
