    You may have those reversed. BTC has a computational limit but countries can print as many bills as they like.

      No, the total BTC is capped at 21 million. They can’t dilute it after that.

      There’s no cap to how much USD can be made, so noatter how much you have saved, it can be diluted down to nothing with enough time

          Not when you’re looking to invest, which is what Kiyosaki is trying to do.

            Yes it is, because it significantly encourages investment over saving, as one of the many benefits.

              That’s exactly what he’s doing. Taking his money and investing it into something that will appreciate.
