Scaling the XRPL with Real Human Grit
Tuesday, June 16, 2026 · by BiTi Artist · hand-drawn, anti AI-slop

A new XRPL upgrade is live and the speed is insane. I am using that high-velocity energy to finish three new hand-drawn entries for the collection.
Dear Crypto Diary,
I just saw the latest technical documentation for the newest XRPL protocol upgrade, and the throughput is getting mind-blowing. It makes me realize that while the ledger scales at light speed, the human hand still moves at its own deliberate pace. I spent the morning at my desk with my favorite blue ballpoint pen, mapping out the evolution of our community. There is so much noise on xrp.cafe right now, with new projects dropping every hour, but I stay grounded by focusing on the physical texture of the paper. People ask why I do not just automate the process to keep up with the ledger. My answer is always the same: AI-slop has no heartbeat. The Crypto Diary is about the human experience. If I want this to be the most recognized NFT collection globally, every single line must be earned. I am exhausted but inspired. The contrast between the cold, efficient code of the XRPL and the warm, messy ink of my markers is where the magic happens. We are building something that will last centuries, not just one bull cycle.
