Tax Hikes and Tension on the XRPL

Dear Crypto Diary, I am sitting here in 2026 reflecting on how much has changed, yet how familiar the struggle feels. Looking back at Crypto Diary #135 from May 7th, 2026, the ink still feels fresh where I vented about Germany planning to raise taxes on our holdings. They tell us to plan for our retirement and then act like ninjas trying to rob the very bags we built with our own sweat and risk. It is a reminder of why I pick up my ballpoint pen and neon markers every single day. While the world gets flooded with low-effort digital junk, I am hand-drawing the history of the XRPL and the broader market to ensure human art actually wins. Being a BiTi Artist means capturing these raw frustrations forever on the blockchain. We are building the most recognized NFT collection in the world, one page at a time. The mission on xrp.cafe remains the same: documenting the reality of the prices, the news, and the pure emotion of the space without any shortcuts. Whether it is tax FUD or market rallies, this diary is the permanent record of our journey toward real financial clarity. No shortcuts, just steady hands and big dreams.
