Reflecting on War and the Resilience of XRP and the Market

Dear Crypto Diary, I am sitting here in 2026 reflecting on how far we have come while looking at my hand-drawn page, Crypto Diary #65. Back on June 19, 2025, the vibe was heavy. I remember my ballpoint pen pressing hard into the paper as I recorded the portfolio nuking and the FED refusing to lower rates. There was war in the air and people were genuinely terrified. The markets were bleeding red, yet I wrote that better times were ahead. It is wild to see that energy frozen on the page in neon markers. This is why I refuse to join the wave of AI-slop; machines can't capture the actual human anxiety or the physical grit of a market crash like a human hand can. Every stroke on these pieces at xrp.cafe/collection/crypto-diary represents a real heartbeat in this industry. My mission remains unchanged as BiTi Artist: I am building the most recognized NFT collection on the planet by documenting our collective history. Whether it is XRP volatility or global tension, these entries prove we are still standing. One day, the whole world will look back at these diaries to see what it actually felt like to survive the chaos.
