Looking Back at Doge and Bitcoin Volatility on the XRPL

Dear Crypto Diary, I am sitting here in the summer of 2026, looking at my drawing of Crypto Diary #4. It is wild to see how far we have come since September 11, 2024. Back then, BTC was sitting at 57.5k and ETH was hovering around 2.344 dollars. I remember the Fear and Greed index was at 37, a heavy sense of uncertainty weighing on everyone. Even DOGE was just a dime at 0.10 dollars. I drew that page with my ballpoint pen, feeling every stroke of the ink as the market breathed down our necks. Today, those numbers feel like a lifetime ago, but the physical art remains. This is why I do this. While everyone else is drowning in synthetic AI-slop, I am here on the XRPL, hand-drawing every single day. My mission as BiTi Artist has never changed: to make the Crypto Diary the most recognized NFT collection on the planet. I want people to see these entries at xrp.cafe and know they are looking at real human history, not a prompt. Each marker stroke on that page is a testament to surviving the dips and celebrating the climbs. We are building something legendary, one hand-drawn page at a time.
