Looking back at the XRP Inauguration high of 2025

Dear Crypto Diary, I am sitting here in September 2026, looking at the ink lines on Crypto Diary #38, and I can still feel the adrenaline from that day. It was January 20, 2025—Inauguration Day in the US—and the market was absolutely screaming. BTC was sitting pretty at $104,280 and XRP was a powerhouse at $3.18. The Fear and Greed index was a cool 58, showing a sense of cautious optimism that felt like the start of a new era. Flipping through these hand-drawn pages reminds me why I started this journey on xrp.cafe. Every stroke of my pen is a middle finger to the soulweak AI-slop flooding the internet. This isn't just data; it is a physical record of our struggle and triumph. My mission remains unchanged: to make this the most recognized NFT collection on the planet. Each entry is a testament to human effort and the power of the XRPL. While others use algorithms, I use my heart and my markers. We are building a legacy one page at a time, documenting the truth of the blockchain through real human art. Stay strong, keep holding, and keep drawing.
