Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki has once again made headlines with his recent hint of what will happen if the BTC price crashes to $300. In a recent X post, Kiyosaki hinted that the US might enter into a “Great Depression” period and Bitcoin price might witness a massive crash. However, despite that, he has doubled down on the flagship crypto, reflecting his long-term outlook on the flagship crypto.

Robert Kiyosaki Hints At BTC Price Crash To $300

Robert Kiyosaki has recently shared an X post, which has sparked speculations over a potential BTC price crash ahead. The Rich Dad Poor Dad author believes the world is on the edge of another financial meltdown. Drawing parallels with the 2008 global financial crisis, he suggests a deeper collapse is underway, one that could evolve into a “New Great Depression.”

According to him, the fear of rising unemployment is spreading “like a virus,” triggering economic panic worldwide. Referencing his earlier book Rich Dad’s Prophecy (2004), Kiyosaki reiterated that such crashes don’t have to be devastating.

“Market crashes mean real assets go on sale,” he stated. He emphasized that being prepared and not panicking can turn a crisis into an opportunity. For him and his peers, 2008 was one such golden window.

He posed a provocative question to his followers “If Bitcoin were to crash back to $300 a coin”, would you panic or celebrate? His message indicated that those who are prepared for a BTC price crash will thrive amid a downturn. Drawing on quotes from icons like Oprah Winfrey and Abraham Lincoln, he stressed the value of preparation. “Luck happens when preparation meets opportunity,” he wrote, echoing Winfrey.

What’s Next For Bitcoin Price?

Bitcoin value today was marginally down, but it still held the $95K support, despite a dip of over 14% in its trading volume to $24 billion. Despite that, the market watchers have remained optimistic about the future trajectory of the coin. In a recent update, Arthur Hayes predicted that BTC price is poised to hit $1 million by 2028, sparking market optimism.

Besides, the recent robust US Bitcoin ETF inflow has further bolstered confidence. This continuing strong flow into the asset indicates that the market is regaining confidence in the asset.

Amid Donald Trump’s remarkable pro-crypto ushers, Tether CEO Paul Ardoino has recently taken the stage to reveal how the President can aid stablecoin USDT. Speaking to Dan Murphy on Wednesday, April 30, Ardoino highlighted vitalities regarding how Trump stirs optimism for the stablecoin, correlating America’s success to its cryptocurrency’s success. However, market watchers also remain apprehensive as this particular stablecoin has faced quite scrutiny regarding its involvement in illicit activities.

Tether CEO Reveals How Donald Trump Can Aid USDT: Details

Upon being asked-“How much of Tether’s future success actually hangs on Donald Trump staying in power?” Ardoino replied that he primarily relates USDT’s success to America’s success. The CEO emphasized that his firm stands as an exporter of what they believe is the best product the U.S. created (the U.S. Dollar).

Notably, Paul spotlights how a majority of the population outside of the U.S. would prefer holding the American dollar instead of their traditional currency, thanks to Trump. To this, he adds that “if u ask 1000 people outside the U.S. about their preference, at least 999 will choose the dollar.”

In addition, the CEO also confirmed that a domestic stablecoin for the nation is in the works. The current internationally accepted stablecoin is designed for high-inflation markets, he added. However, the new domestic stablecoin will be more of a payment product used by institutions and people nationwide. Market watchers can expect its launch by the end of this year or as soon as the beginning of next year, Ardoino said.

However, Murphy asked the CEO how he plans to mitigate the use of USDT by nefarious actors, as also stressed by the NY Times recently. To this, the Tether lead replied that people forget to consider how infinite amounts of cash (U.S. dollars) are used for illicit activities. Nevertheless, the stablecoin giant reassured that they use ecosystem monitoring tools to prevent such mishaps.

Overall, the stablecoin giant continues to cement its top ranking, as underscored by the abovementioned metrics. Meanwhile, the entity remains primed to reach further heights as Donald Trump continues to fuel pro-crypto endeavors in America, while also taking measures to increase the dollar’s value.

Besides, it’s also worth remembering that the stablecoin giant recently minted $1 billion USDT on Tron, further expanding its foothold in the sector.

Bitcoin (BTC) price eyes a parabolic rally past $100,000 after the Realized Capitalization soared to an all-time high, a surge that has always preceded a strong upward trend. The rise in this metric comes as BTC defends $95,000, after President Trump’s relief on auto tariffs fuelled a recovery across financial markets.

BTC value today stands at $94,930 with a daily high of $95,443, as the Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index indicates that traders are in a state of “greed.” A deep dive into the Realized Cap and 2 other key metrics suggests that a major BTC price increase is looming.

BTC Price Eyes Rally As Realized Capitalization Hits ATH

According to CryptoQuant data shared by analyst Carmelo, BTC’s Realized Cap, an on-chain metric used to measure the price at which Bitcoin was last moved on-chain, has reached a record high of $882 billion. Per Carmelo, the surge indicates retail and institutional investors have re-entered the market and anticipate gains in the near term.

Bitcoin Realized Capitalization

As the chart above shows, a rise in the Realized Cap metric is often followed by a notable increase in the BTC price. Per Carmelo, history will likely rhyme, and an explosion is on the horizon. He opined,

“Although we have seen progressive gains since April 9, the price has not yet exploded significantly in a very short time frame, which is a typical characteristic of Bitcoin. However, if these accumulations continue, it is highly likely that such an explosion will occur.”

Interestingly, this is not the only on-chain metric hinting towards a BTC price explosion happening soon. The supply of BTC held in profit has surged past 90%, which analyst Darkfost noted has previously caused a euphoric phase, and the king coin is getting close to this level.

Bitcoin Percent Supply in Profit

Meanwhile, popular analyst Ali Charts noted that in the last two weeks, whales have accumulated 43,100 BTC valued at nearly $4 billion, an indication that these large addresses may be positioning for a price uptrend. This further supports the argument that a BTC breakout past $100,000 is looming and may happen soon.

Bitcoin Technical Analysis – Key Support & Resistance Levels to Watch

BTC price trades within a giant falling wedge pattern on the daily chart, and is teasing a breakout above the upper trendline, a move that could spark a 21% gain towards an all-time high of $115,000. The RSI line, which is tipping north and has reached a value of 66, supports the likelihood of a breakout happening, as bullish momentum surges.

However, for a bullish Bitcoin price forecast to play out, BTC needs to clear several hurdles. The first is resistance at $95,680, a level that also marks the upper descending trendline of the falling wedge. If it makes a decisive close above this resistance, it then needs to clear $99,690 for a run up to $115,000.

BTC/USDT: 1-day Chart

If this bullish thesis fails, and traders who bought during the rally decide to take profits and spark a downtrend, BTC price faces support at $92,000, with a breach of this level set to drag the price down to $81,000. If this happens, the market sentiment will likely fall back into “fear” and invalidate the likelihood of a “euphoric phase” for Bitcoin happening in the near term.

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla on Tuesday said uncertainty around President Donald Trump’s planned pharmaceutical tariffs is deterring the company from further investing in U.S. manufacturing and research and development. 

Bourla’s remarks on the company’s first-quarter earnings call came in response to a question about what Pfizer wants to see from tariff negotiations that would push the company to increase investments in the U.S. It comes as drugmakers brace for Trump’s levies on pharmaceuticals imported into the country — his administration’s bid to boost domestic manufacturing.

“If I know that there will not be tariffs … then there are tremendous investments that can happen in this country, both in R&D and manufacturing,” Bourla said on the call, adding that the company is also hoping for “certainty.”

“In periods of uncertainty, everybody is controlling their cost as we are doing, and then is very frugal with their investment, as we are doing, so that we are prepared for remit. So that’s what I want to see,” Bourla said.

Bourla noted the tax environment, which had previously pushed manufacturing abroad, has “significantly changed now” with the establishment of a global minimum tax of around 15%. He said that shift hasn’t necessarily made the U.S. more attractive, saying “it’s not as good” to invest here without additional incentives or clarity around tariffs.

“Now [Trump] I’m sure — and I know because I talked to him — that he would like to see even a reduction in the current tax regime particularly for locally produced goods,” Bourla said, adding a further decrease would be would be a strong incentive for manufacturing in the U.S.

Unlike other companies grappling with evolving trade policy, Pfizer did not revise its full-year outlook on Tuesday. However, the company noted in its earnings release that the guidance “does not currently include any potential impact related to future tariffs and trade policy changes, which we are unable to predict at this time.”

But on the earnings call on Tuesday, Pfizer executives said the guidance does reflect $150 million in costs from Trump’s existing tariffs.

“Included in our guidance that we didn’t really speak about is there are some tariffs in place today,” Pfizer CFO Dave Denton said on the call.

“We are contemplating that within our guidance range and we continue to again trend to the top end of our guidance range even with those costs to be incurred this year,” he said.

JetBlue Airways is getting ready to announce a partnership with another U.S. airline with a larger network in the coming weeks, the carrier’s president said Tuesday. One possibility: United Airlines.

JetBlue’s leaders have repeatedly said they need a partnership to better compete against larger airlines like Delta Air Lines and United.

JetBlue’s planned acquisition of Spirit Airlines was blocked by the Justice Department last year, while its partnership in the Northeast with American Airlines unraveled after the carriers lost an antitrust lawsuit in 2023.

The New York airline has been in talks with several carriers this year about a partnership. JetBlue’s president, Marty St. George, said on an earnings call on Tuesday that the company expects to make an announcement this quarter. He emphasized that the partner’s bigger network would allow customers to earn and burn loyalty points on JetBlue.

“If you are a customer in the Northeast and you love JetBlue for leisure, but twice a year you have to go to Omaha or Boise, these are places that you can’t earn TrueBlue points on now and when this partnership goes forward, you will be able to,” St. George said.

United Airlines could possibly get a foothold (again) into JetBlue’s home hub of John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York through the partnership. “We don’t engage in industry speculation,” a United Airlines spokeswoman said.

An Alaska Airlines spokeswoman said the carrier doesn’t have plans to partner with JetBlue and is focused on its recent merger with Hawaiian Airlines.

Southwest Airlines declined to comment. A Delta Air Lines spokesman said there was no pending announcement from the carrier about a partnership with another airline.

JetBlue declined to comment further.

American had been in talks to revive a different version of its partnership with JetBlue, but those failed and American said Monday that it sued JetBlue.

“Ultimately, we were unable to agree on a construct that preserved the benefits of the partnership we envisioned, made sense operationally or financially,” American Airlines Vice Chair Steve Johnson said in a letter to employees on Monday.
