Garlinghouse Hedges on XRP Value as Dollar Loses Decades of Buying Power
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse views XRP as a hedge against currency devaluation.
He believes that governments cannot be trusted to manage monetary supply effectively, citing the dollar's loss of over 90% of its value in 30-40 years and about 30% in five years.
Garlinghouse expects more capital to flow into non-inflationary assets like gold and crypto.
However, he leaves the title of 'digital gold' to Bitcoin, separating Ripple from XRP due to past experiences with the US lawsuit.
