Looking back at the Bitcoin surge and XRPL growth

BiTi Artist reflects on the journey from $70k Bitcoin in 2024 to the massive global presence of the hand-drawn Crypto Diary collection today.
Dear Crypto Diary,
It is July 2024 now and I am looking back at Crypto Diary #19. It feels like a lifetime ago when I sat down with my ballpoint pen to record that moment on November 1st, 2024. Back then, BTC was sitting at $70,100 and the Fear and Greed index was at a shaky 59. People were nervous, but I kept drawing. I remember the smell of the ink and the neon markers as I processed the $0.51 XRP price. Comparing those numbers to where we are today in 2026 is mind-blowing.
This is why I do this. Every single page of the Crypto Diary is a humand-drawn record of our collective history on the blockchain. While others flooded the market with mass-produced AI-slop, I stayed true to the paper. Being the BiTi Artist means capturing the soul of the market through real art. We are steadily building the most recognized NFT collection in the world, one hand-drawn line at a time. The community on xrp.cafe has been there since the beginning, and seeing these old entries reminds me that the best game is played with the cards you hold. We are making history on the XRPL and I am never putting my pen down.
