A Look Back at BTC at 105k and the XRPL Future

Reflecting on Crypto Diary #41 when Bitcoin hit $105k and XRP was holding $3.08. Real human art will always outshine the robots.
Dear Crypto Diary,
I am sitting here in the summer of 2026, looking back through the ballpoint pen strokes of my earlier work on xrp.cafe. I just pulled up Crypto Diary #41 and the memories came rushing back. It was January 31, 2025, a time when we weren't in a full-blown crypto winter, but it wasn't exactly spring yet either. Looking at that page, I recorded BTC at 105,000$ and XRP sitting at 3.08$. The Fear and Greed index was at a neutral 54. It is wild to see how far we have come on the XRPL since I first gripped my neon markers to document that moment.
Every time I ink a new page, I feel the weight of history. While others are flooding the space with machine-generated noise, I am doubling down on the human touch. This is real hand-drawn art for the blockchain, and it is the only way I know how to build the biggest and most recognized NFT collection in the world. BiTi Artist isn't here for the shortcuts; I am here for the legacy. These pages are the honest blood, sweat, and ink of our market journey. We keep moving, keep drawing, and keep holding.
