Reflecting on the Red Crypto Monday XRP Flashback
Saturday, July 25, 2026 · by BiTi Artist · hand-drawn, anti AI-slop

Looking back at the chaos of early 2025 where BTC sat at $100k and XRP fought for the $3 mark while Deepseek and Yen news shook the global markets.
Dear Crypto Diary,
I am sitting in the studio today on July 25, 2026, flipping through the physical pages of my journey. My eyes landed on Crypto Diary #40, and man, the memories came rushing back. That was the infamous Red Crypto Monday on January 27, 2025. I remember the ink from my ballpoint pen pressing hard into the paper as I recorded BTC at $100,945 and XRP hovering at $2.96. The Fear and Greed index was sitting at a neutral 55, but the air felt heavy with the Deepseek news and the Yen volatility playing out on the global stage.
Looking at these neon marker strokes now, I am reminded why I do this. In a world full of soulless generated content, these hand-drawn entries on the XRPL are the heartbeat of the market. People thought I was crazy for documenting every red candle, but here we are on xrp.cafe, building the most recognized NFT collection in existence. Every smudge and every line is a testament to human grit. BiTi Artist isn't going anywhere; we are documenting history one page at a time until the whole world knows the Crypto Diary name. No shortcuts, just real art.
