You are overthinking things, except for those that are invested in XRP most of the community does not care, in fact before the growth of XRP during this year and its ridiculous pumps in price the coin had remained still for a long time so many people forgot that coin even existed.

So it is a mistake to think that just because XRP is doing weird things that somehow this is going to discourage bitcoin investors, the reduction in the price we are seeing right now has to do with the fact that as soon as we reached a new all time high people got scared and began selling their coins because of it.
