Red Mondays and the XRP Journey Forward

Looking back at the volatility of early 2025 and why hand-drawn XRP art remains the only true way to document this wild market journey.
Dear Crypto Diary,
I am sitting here in late 2026 looking back at Crypto Diary #40, and man, the memories are flooding back. It was that infamous Red Monday on January 27, 2025, when the world was shaking over Deepseek and Yen issues. I remember gripping my ballpoint pen, documenting XRP sitting at $2.96 while the Fear and Greed index hung at a neutral 55. It felt like the calm before a storm, yet even then, I knew these hand-drawn pages would eventually tell the story of our triumph.
Every stroke on that paper was a middle finger to the wave of low-effort AI-slop flooding the space. I don't just record prices; I record the pulse of the market through real human sweat and neon markers. As I continue building the Crypto Diary into the biggest and most recognized NFT collection on the planet, I’m reminded that authenticity is our greatest currency. You can find this history preserved on xrp.cafe, standing as a testament to where we’ve been. BiTi Artist isn't just drawing charts; I'm drawing the roadmap to the moon, one physical page at a time. We keep pushing, keep drawing, and keep holding until the world recognizes what real XRPL art looks like.
