Looking back at XRP and the Indian Market Beef

Dear Crypto Diary, I am sitting in the studio today, August 24th, 2026, looking at the ink lines on Crypto Diary #58. It feels like a lifetime ago since May 7th, 2025, when I sat down with my ballpoint pen to document the tension between India and Pakistan and the technical buzz of the ETH Pectra launch. I remember setting the starting price for that auction at only 10 XRP on xrp.cafe, wanting to make sure the community could own a piece of real market history without breaking the bank. Back then, the FED meeting was the only thing anyone talked about, but my markers captured the raw energy of the moment that no computer script could ever replicate. Every smudge and neon stroke on this page is a middle finger to the wave of AI-slop currently drowning the internet. We are building the biggest and most recognized NFT collection in the world, one hand-drawn page at a time. My mission remains the same: documenting the truth of the XRPL and the global stage with human sweat and soul. The prices change, the Fear & Greed fluctuates, but this physical record of our journey is permanent.
