Ripple investors (XRP) have enough of Bitcoin (BTC). Whenever the price starts to rally, Bitcoin (BTC) picks it up. Ripple (XRP) is still largely influenced by Bitcoin (BTC) whereas we have XRP / BTC pairs on all major exchanges. However, we have seen that investors in Ripple (XRP) have recently become more challenging and tired of the attraction of Bitcoin (BTC) in a more open and organized way. Yesterday, the entire cryptocurrency market has collapsed and in no time is there any blood in the streets. While most cryptocurrencies have lost in every way, Ripple (XRP) has earned in some. Ripple's biggest victory (XRP) was to beat Ethereum (ETH) in second place. Quite right; Ripple (XRP) is now the second largest currency by market capitalization.
How did it happen? Well, most Ripple investors (XRP) firmly believe that XRP is here to stay if BTC remains or not. So, when the market crashed with difficulty, Ripple (XRP) did not crash so much. In fact, Ripple (XRP) is currently against Bitcoin (BTC) while most cryptocurrencies are in deep losses against Bitcoin (BTC). There have been talk of decoupling from Bitcoin (BTC) in the Ripple community (XRP) before. However, this time many more people will be open to such an idea, considering that yesterday's events have highlighted how decentralized Bitcoin (BTC) really is. If a two-person pissing contest can put a billions of dollars in the market in a matter of seconds, does Ripple (XRP) really want something to do with that market?
Supporters of Ripple (XRP) were also prepared to dissuade the Bitcoin maximalists (BTC) for all their "holier than you" after the incident actually exposed the centralized nature of Bitcoin (BTC). This has nothing to do with Bitcoin (BTC) fundamentally, nor does it mean that Ripple (XRP) may eventually replace Bitcoin (BTC) as a better alternative. All this means that the maximalists of Bitcoin (BTC) who criticize Ripple (XRP) to be too centralized were either unaware of their business or were biased. In any case, many people are asking at this point why they should not simply invest in Ripple XRP / USD instead of something like Bitcoin (BTC) considering that Ripple (XRP) is controlled by a centralized entity that is likely to act in its best interest .
The bitcoin (BTC) on the other hand can also be influenced by people who do not care about their best interests. Two of these people are Craig S. Wright and Jihan Wu. Both claim to worry about Satoshi's vision, but none of them really seem to understand what it really means. Both are ready to do anything to bring the other down regardless of its impact on the price of Bitcoin (BTC). On the other hand, Ripple (the company) is extremely unlikely to do anything that will damage the price of XRP. If Bitcoin (BTC) and the rest of the market do not put its business in order, it is very likely that Ripple (XRP) will eventually decouple from Bitcoin (BTC) sooner or later.
