Black Swan Capitalist: Why You Need XRP and Gold

In a recent post, Black Swan Capitalist founder Versan Aljarrah raised a point that continues to gain weight in today’s financial climate. He linked gold’s long history as a neutral asset to the rise of XRP.

He shared a video where gold wholesaler Chris Olson spoke on Tucker Carlson’s show. Olson discussed government control over wealth. Aljarrah explained why he views gold and XRP as aligned with personal sovereignty. He views XRP as a neutral bridge, playing a role similar to gold in the digital age.

A Focus on Control

Olson’s remarks created a direct contrast between individual autonomy and the modern tax system. He said, “We were a free country once,” while describing the current approach to income reporting. He argued that the state views earnings as a resource to be managed rather than a private matter.

His view centered on the claim that the government chooses to use the people as a source of revenue. He then pointed out how much time citizens work each year to meet their IRS obligations. He linked that burden to foreign policy spending that many taxpayers do not support.

This argument fits Aljarrah’s point. The concern is not about ordinary taxation. It is about a structure that can hinder families’ ability to protect assets or build long-term stability. Olson said the system does not let families preserve and transmit generational wealth.

Why Aljarrah Connects Gold and XRP

While some analysts believe XRP can replicate Gold’s market performance, Aljarrah sees a deeper connection. He framed gold as a form of freedom that has survived every collapse. He described it as neutral and outside the reach of both governments and banks. He then presented XRP as the digital evolution of that idea.

He described XRP as a neutral bridge suited for the global movement of value. The message linked physical and digital stores of value. The comparison reflects a view held by many XRP supporters. XRP does not grant governments the ability to freeze or reverse transactions at the protocol level.

Even Ripple has no control over XRP. It moves value across borders in seconds without relying on traditional banking rails. This structure matches the principle Olson defended in his interview. It favors systems that let individuals operate without unnecessary oversight.

XRP’s Role Today

Olson’s remarks on state control highlight why many view XRP as a neutral asset. XRP offers fast settlement, low cost, and clear user control. Aljarrah links it to Gold as a tool for personal autonomy.

He sees XRP as a direct, sovereign option for a digital financial system. According to Aljarrah, anyone who understands sovereignty holds both gold and XRP.
