I think the meaning of the statement is that the value may change but the asset will not disappear. For example if a home is worth 250K today and five years from now it is worth 125K. Its value may have changed but the wealth i.e. the home is still wealth. What the writer is saying is that people who lack cash will lose their wealth to those who don't, but the asset underlyng the value which is the real wealth, be it a home or a factory, or business machinery, or gold or other commodities will exist but be transferred to other more effficient, or perhaps more fortunate persons.
