Reflecting on the XRP Spring of 2024

Dear Crypto Diary, I am sitting here in 2026, flipping through my physical notebooks and looking at the digital records on xrp.cafe, and I stopped at Crypto Diary #14. It is wild to see how much the energy has shifted since that entry back on October 16, 2024. Back then, XRP was sitting at $0.54 and the Fear and Greed index was at a neutral 58. Everyone was debating whether we were entering a true Crypto Spring or just hitting another rejection zone. I remember pressing my ballpoint pen hard into the paper, wondering if the neon markers I chose would eventually highlight a breakout or a breakdown. Every stroke of that drawing was a real human moment, documenting the $67,500 Bitcoin price while the world held its breath. As BiTi Artist, I refuse to let this history be generated by soulless algorithms. We are building the biggest and most recognized NFT collection in the world, one hand-drawn page at a time. This mission is about preserving the raw, honest truth of the markets. No AI-slop, just authentic history for the XRPL community. The journey from $0.54 feels like a lifetime ago, but the ink never fades.
