XRP has lost 38% of its value over the past year. Bitcoin<\/a> hasn\u2019t done much better, sliding more than 16%. Yet a finance expert is telling investors those numbers miss the bigger picture.<\/p>\n

Cash Is Losing Ground Too<\/h2>\n

John Vasquez, who goes by Coach JV on social media, says the real story<\/a> isn\u2019t short-term price drops \u2014 it\u2019s what\u2019s happening to the dollar.<\/p>\n

Data shows the purchasing power of the US dollar has fallen 28% over the past decade, dropping from 43.10 to 30.9 on the Consumer Price Index.<\/p>\n

Over that same 10-year stretch, both Bitcoin and XRP<\/a> have climbed nearly 200 times in value. By that measure, Vasquez argues, holding cash has quietly been the bigger loser.<\/p>\n

His comments came through a post on X, where he laid out his case for why global tensions are strengthening the long-term argument for crypto assets \u2014 not weakening it.<\/p>\n

Oil, Credit, And The Dollar\u2019s Global Standing<\/h2>\n

Vasquez pointed to rising oil prices linked to disruptions near the Strait of Hormuz<\/a> as a driver of inflation pressure. At the same time, he warned of tightening credit conditions and what he called a developing global credit crisis.<\/p>\n

Countries moving away from dependence on the US dollar \u2014 a shift often described as de-dollarization<\/a> \u2014 are also part of what he sees reshaping the financial order.<\/p>\n

Reports indicate he also cited Japan\u2019s interest rate changes and the unwinding of so-called carry trades as added stress points for the global system.<\/p>\n

These are moves by investors who borrow in low-interest currencies to buy higher-yielding assets elsewhere. When those trades unwind, markets can move fast and hard.<\/p>\n

He described two possible roads ahead: one where central banks keep printing money and hold interest rates low, extending current imbalances, and another where stock and credit markets suffer a sharp correction. Neither path, in his view, favors holding cash.<\/p>\n

Crypto Still Struggles As A Near-Term Hedge<\/p>\n

Crypto prices haven\u2019t cooperated with that theory. Since Middle East tensions<\/a> flared again in February, Bitcoin and XRP have held steady but gone nowhere.<\/p>\n

Markets have shown relative stability but not gains. That sits awkwardly against the argument that geopolitical risk drives money into decentralized assets.<\/p>\n

Still, Vasquez says the strategy is to accumulate during downturns, not react to them. His long-term positioning includes XRP, Bitcoin, silver, and income-generating assets.<\/p>\n

His core message is preparation \u2014 financial and psychological \u2014 for an economic environment that looks increasingly unstable.<\/p>\n
