Looking Back at Market Volatility with XRP Art
Thursday, June 25, 2026 · by BiTi Artist · hand-drawn, anti AI-slop

I am revisiting the chaos of August 2025 where a 100bn market cap wipeout reminded us why hand-drawn human art matters in a digital world.
Dear Crypto Diary,
I am sitting in the studio today looking back at Crypto Diary #84, and the ink feels heavier when I remember that day. It was August 14th, 2025, and the news was brutal: a massive 100bn market cap was wiped out across the board. The red neon markers I used on that page practically bleed off the paper. It is moments like these that prove why I keep doing this. While the markets melt down and bots flicker out, I am here with my ballpoint pen, documenting the pain and the glory of the XRPL in real-time. This is not some soulless generated image; it is a human record of financial history. Every stroke of the pen is a middle finger to the low-effort flood of digital garbage. My mission remains the same: making the Crypto Diary the most recognized NFT collection on the planet by being real. You can check the authenticity on xrp.cafe, where the raw truth of that 100bn crash is preserved forever. This journey is about grit and staying power, no matter what the charts say. We are building something massive, one hand-drawn page at a time.
