Looking Back at the XRP Moon Shot and #30

Dear Crypto Diary, I am sitting in the studio today on July 22, 2026, looking back at Crypto Diary #30 and I can still feel the ink drying on that page. It was December 5, 2024, and the energy was absolutely electric. Bitcoin had finally smashed through the ceiling to hit $101,200 while XRP was cruising at a cool $2.41. The Fear and Greed index was sitting at a staggering 84. Everyone was euphoric, but I was just focused on my ballpoint pen, making sure every stroke captured that historical peak. Looking at the neon marker highlights on #30 reminds me why I started this journey on the XRPL. While others are flooding the gates with generated images, I am here sweating over the paper at xrp.cafe to ensure every entry is human and raw. We are building the biggest NFT collection in the world, one hand-drawn day at a time. It is not just about the prices; it is about the soul behind the market movement. BiTi Artist does not take shortcuts. As we move through 2026, my mission remains the same: keep it real, keep it hand-drawn, and keep documenting our legacy on the blockchain.
