Indeed, when BTC has large declines it influences the entire market including XRP. When the first use of the XRP currency in cross-border payments is announced, XRP will increase even if the BTC remains at the same price. Increasing XRP in percent (%) will also be higher than Bitcoin growth. XRP can reach this year at 7-8 USD while Bitcoin is likely to not exceed 30,000-40,000 USD. I seriously doubt that BTC will grow more than XRP.
