Renowned crypto commentator Coach JV has again made a strong case for XRP and Bitcoin as essential tools for financial protection.
In his latest post on X, he shared why he stores his family’s “hard-earned money” in these digital assets. Specifically, he pointed to the U.S. dollar’s steady decline in purchasing power since 1913.
According to him, inflation has eroded 96–97% of the dollar’s value, silently robbing households year after year.
His latest message highlights a recurring theme in his recent commentaries: traditional money tends to lose value over time, but assets like XRP and Bitcoin protect and increase wealth because their supply is limited.
“Deflationary, Fixed-Supply Assets That Beat Inflation”
Coach JV describes XRP and Bitcoin as deflationary, fixed-supply assets that naturally outpace inflation because their supply is limited.
Bitcoin’s maximum cap of 21 million coins and XRP’s fixed total supply of 100 billion tokens make them the opposite of fiat currency, which can be printed without restraint, a practice that weakens its value.
For context, with U.S. inflation at 3.2% per year, the dollar has lost about 37% of its value over the last ten years. In perspective, $10,000 in 2015 is now roughly worth $7,300.
Meanwhile, during this time, the value of 1 BTC has risen 20,900%, from $600 in October 2015 to $126,000 in October 2025.
As for 1 XRP, the ten-year performance has been even more dramatic. Just $0.0045 could buy 1 XRP in 2015, and today the price is close to $3. This means a staggering price appreciation of over 65,000%.
These contrasting performances from crypto assets in relation to fiat currently explain why many continue to favor them as a means of wealth preservation.
XRP and Bitcoin as the Path to Financial Freedom
The broader XRP community shares Coach JV’s conviction. In an analysis last month, Zach Rector forecasted that XRP could reach $100 due to macroeconomic weaknesses in the U.S. economy.
With 1.2 million fewer jobs added over 16 months, rising unemployment, and creeping inflation, he made a case for investors to seek safety in assets like XRP, gold, and other tokens.
Notably, the U.S. economy’s downgrade caused the Federal Reserve to consider rate cuts in September, which is typically bullish for crypto. Rector highlights XRP’s 580% surge after Trump’s election and notes similar performances by XLM, HBAR, and precious metals as defensive plays.
Meanwhile, back in May, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes forecasted Bitcoin soaring to $1 million by 2028 due to capital flight from weakening U.S. Treasuries and global financial fragmentation.
Hayes highlighted Bitcoin’s advantage over gold as a borderless, bearer asset that moves without intermediaries, citing strong OTC liquidity in China despite exchange bans. He expects similar underground markets to emerge globally amid rising capital controls.
In his view, with $33 trillion in foreign portfolio assets, even a 10% shift (~$3.3 trillion) into Bitcoin could overwhelm exchange liquidity and sharply boost prices.
Essentially, as confidence continues to erode in the traditional financial system, the case for wealth preservation in crypto assets remains strong.
“GOD, Family, and Protection of Your Ecosystem”
In that order, Coach JV closes his message, saying, “GOD, family, and protecting your ecosystem at all costs”. He urges his followers to take proactive steps to invest wisely, safeguard their income, and protect their wealth from the hidden erosion caused by inflation and systemic fragility.
