Flipping back to the Red Monday memory and my XRP mission

Looking back at Crypto Diary #40 from early 2025 during the Deepseek chaos, remembering why hand-drawn art will always beat the digital machine.
Dear Crypto Diary,
I am sitting here in 2026 looking at the ink on Crypto Diary #40 and I can still feel the tension of that Red Monday. The date was January 27, 2025, and the market was absolutely reeling from the Deepseek fallout and Yen fluctuations. I captured the Fear and Greed at a neutral 55, just as BTC sat at $100,945 and my favorite asset XRP was holding the line at $2.96. It is wild to see how far we have come on the XRPL since those ballpoint pen strokes dried. People keep trying to flood the space with hollow AI-slop, but looking at this physical evidence of a market crash proves that human connection is what collectors actually crave. My mission remains unchanged: building the most recognized hand-drawn NFT collection in the world. I am not stopping until every major moment is immortalized by my own hand at xrp.cafe. While others rely on prompts, I rely on my neon markers and the raw truth of the charts. This is the BiTi Artist legacy, one page at a time, proving that real art has a pulse that code can never replicate.
