Reflecting on the Red Flash and XRP Resilience

Dear Crypto Diary, I am sitting here in my studio on August 9th, 2026, looking at a print of Crypto Diary #43. It is wild to think how far we have come since February 3, 2025. Back then, billions were being wiped out of the market in a single day, and the Fear and Greed index was sitting at a shaky 39. I remember the weight of the ballpoint pen in my hand as I sketched out those red flags, recording Bitcoin at $95,180 and XRP at $2.36. People were panicking, but I was drawing. That is the beauty of this project—it is a permanent, hand-drawn record of our collective heartbeats on the blockchain. While others are pumping out generic AI-slop, I am doubling down on the soul of human art. My mission for the Crypto Diary remains unchanged: to become the most recognized hand-drawn NFT collection in existence. Every marker stroke on xrp.cafe is a testament to the fact that humans still define the culture of the XRPL. We survived those crashes, and today, looking at the ink on the page, I feel more energetic than ever about where we are heading. BiTi Artist is still here, still drawing, and still documenting the revolution.
