U.S. Treasury ETFs Will Be 'Flushed Down the Toilet', the Informed Will Become Super Rich

Assets dependent on 'trust' (U.S. Treasuries, ETFs, mutual funds): Kiyosaki warned that these assets will be "flushed down the toilet" worldwide. He pointed out that Japan and other major bond-holding countries have begun selling U.S. Treasuries, viewing this as an early signal of trust collapsing.
Rich who cling to old-money rules: Kiyosaki said that rich people today who operate according to traditional financial common sense, if they don't change their mindset, will become the "new poor" of tomorrow during the systemic reset.
The Informed: Those who possess accurate information and insight into the underlying logic of the market will receive the massive wealth flowing out of the old system during the wealth reshuffle, becoming the future super-rich.
