Tax Hikes and Hand-Drawn Resilience on the XRPL

Dear Crypto Diary, I am sitting here in my studio with the blue ink still drying on my fingertips, looking over my older work. Today, I specifically pulled out Crypto Diary #135 from May 7th, 2026. Looking back at that page, I can feel the frustration I felt when Germany announced those plans to raise taxes on cryptocurrency. At the time, I wrote about how the government tells you to plan for retirement and then tries to rob you. It is a reminder that the path to financial freedom is never a straight line, but that is why I document every single moment with my ballpoint pen and neon markers. No machine could ever capture that raw emotion or the grit of a market downturn like a human hand. My mission with the Crypto Diary remains the same: to build the most iconic and recognized NFT collection in the world, one hand-drawn page at a time on xrp.cafe. Every stroke on the paper is a stand against the flood of low-effort digital noise. As the market develops, these physical artifacts of price history become even more vital to our story. We are not just trading numbers; we are making history.
