Looking back at the BTC Security Win and XRPL Growth

Dear Crypto Diary, It is September 23, 2026, and as I sit here in my studio with a ballpoint pen in hand, I am looking back at Crypto Diary #10. I drew that page exactly two years ago on 26/9/24 when the air was thick with regulation talk. The big headline back then was simple but massive: BTC is not a security. I remember the Fear and Greed index was sitting at a neutral 48, with BTC trading at 65,500$ and XRP hovering around 0.59$. Looking at those prices now from 2026 feels like peering into another lifetime. I created this collection on xrp.cafe to document these shifts with raw, human effort—no shortcuts, no generated slop, just neon markers and real sweat. Every stroke on that page represents a moment when the market was holding its breath. My mission remains unchanged: to build the most recognized hand-drawn NFT collection in the world. As the XRPL ecosystem continues to evolve, these physical anchors to our digital past become even more vital. We are not just trading pixels; we are archiving the pulse of global finance through real art. The journey is long, but the ink never lies.
