Flipping back to the Harvard BTC pump and XRPL growth

Reflecting on the day Harvard entered the BTC ETF space and why hand-drawn human art will always outlast the noise in the NFT market.
Dear Crypto Diary,
Looking back from August 2026, I am flipping through my physical sketches and landed on CRYPTO DIARY #82. I remember the weight of my ballpoint pen hitting the paper on September 8th, 2025, when the news broke that Harvard was buying into the BTC ETF. That page captures a moment where ETH jumped 5% and the air felt electric. It is wild to see how far we have come on the XRPL since then. While the markets fluctuate, my mission for the Crypto Diary remains the same: creating the world’s most recognized NFT collection through raw, human effort. I refuse to touch AI-slop; every neon marker stroke on that Harvard page was earned with ink and sweat. You can feel the texture of the paper in every digital mint over at xrp.cafe. People told me hand-drawing every single market milestone was crazy, but seeing these prices from 2025 recorded in my own handwriting proves why BiTi Artist stands for something real. We are building a legacy that machines can never replicate. The diary never lies, and the ink never fades.
