Nassim Taleb, author of the books ‘The logic of the Black Swan’ It is ‘Antifragile’advises fellow writer Robert Kiyosaki to do so “Consult a screen before talking nonsense about financial matters”.
The insult comes hours after Kiyosaki declared that gold, silver and Bitcoin will become “invaluable” with the arrival of the digital dollar. According to the author of the book ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’, the American CBDC will put an end to the privacy of citizens.
Another target of Taleb’s criticism was Tucker Carlson, an American presenter who said early this year that Bitcoin was on the rise because governments were buying the cryptocurrency. More recently, Carlson interviewed Javier Milei, a candidate for the presidency of Argentina, who is opposed to central banks.
The eternally diverse discussions of Nassim Taleb
For those who follow Nassim Taleb on social media, it is not difficult to find the economist and writer arguing with other famous personalities. “I block idiots”seems to be their motto.
In the past, Taleb has told Ethereum’s creator to keep his mouth shut when it came to finances. At the time, Vitalik Buterin defended founder Brian Armstrong’s sale of Coinbase shares, noting it could give the executive peace of mind to run his company.
Fernando Ulrich, a famous Brazilian content creator, has already stated that Taleb turned out to be a “dubious economist” for his criticism of Bitcoin. In answer, Taleb called Ulrich an ‘idiot’leaving the Brazilian to find an elegant way to end the discussion.
Another famous fight between Taleb took place with fellow writer Saifedean Ammous. Although Taleb contributed to the book ‘The Bitcoin Standard’ and wrote the foreword, nothing stopped the two from exchanging accusations, with each calling the other a charlatan.
Nassim Taleb starts feuding with Robert Kiyosaki and Tucker Carlson
This Friday (29), Nassim Taleb seems to have acquired two more enemies: Robert Kiyosaki, author of the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and Tucker Carlson, famous American presenter and political analyst.
“End of nonsense. Tucker Carlson and Kiyosaki need to consult a screen before talking nonsense about financial matters.
“The dollar has been more stable against gold/silver than in the past”Taleb continued, claiming Kiyosaki’s investment tips are a scam. “The last fifty years have seen a LOT of turmoil, especially between 1979 and 1981.”
BS BUSTING

In the video Taleb shared to explain his criticism, Kiyosaki appears to say that central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) will end our freedom and privacy. “Gold and silver are our freedom today”concludes the author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad in the excerpt.
