The CEO of Into The Cryptoverse, Benjamin Cowen, compared the performance of gold and XRP since 2018, stating that gold has been a better investment. This sparked a debate among crypto proponents, with some arguing that Bitcoin is a more superior asset. An anonymous XRP supporter countered Cowen's claims by suggesting that Bitcoin's volatility and crashes make it an unreliable store of value. Cowen responded by highlighting XRP's 45% loss against gold over the past seven years. However, a more accurate assessment of XRP's performance against gold shows a 65% decline in value. Despite this, XRP has outperformed gold significantly since its launch in 2013, surging over 19,000%. It is worth noting that Bitcoin has seen even greater growth, outshining both XRP and gold by a much larger margin. XRP's underperformance since 2018 is attributed to regulatory challenges, particularly the SEC's lawsuit against Ripple. With regulatory clarity improving, XRP is slowly recovering but still has a long way to go.
