Looking back at the USA Crypto Capital vision and XRP growth

Dear Crypto Diary, I am sitting here in late September 2026, looking back at one of my favorite hand-drawn pages from the vault. I just pulled out CRYPTO DIARY #138 and it hits different today. Back on May 18, 2026, I sat down with my neon markers and wrote that the USA would soon become the Crypto Capital of the world. People called me crazy at the time, but you can see the conviction in the ballpoint pen strokes. That is the beauty of this collection; it is not some generated AI-slop, but a real human record of our collective journey on the blockchain. Every time I browse my own collection on xrp.cafe, I am reminded why we do this. We are building the most recognized NFT collection in the world, one sketch at a time. Whether the sentiment is greed or extreme fear, the ink never lies. Seeing the date 18.05.26 on that page reminds me of the specific market energy we felt as the XRPL started to truly decouple. We are not just recording prices; we are recording the soul of the market. The mission remains the same: human art for a digital age. Stay bold, keep holding, and keep drawing.
