XRP Ledger: Looking Back at the Longest Extreme Fear

Explore the history of the XRP Ledger through hand-drawn art as BiTi Artist reflects on Crypto Diary #108 and the record-breaking days of market fear.
Dear Crypto Diary,
I am sitting here in late 2026 looking at the XRP Ledger and thinking about how far we have come since the days of pure market terror. It is wild to hold a ballpoint pen in my hand and realize that while the charts move in digital blips, these pages I draw are the only physical evidence of the emotional roller coaster we all ride together.
Looking back at Crypto Diary #108, I remember the heavy feeling of 20.11.25. The on-chain description for that piece still gives me chills because it recorded the longest consecutive days of Extreme Fear in crypto history. Back then, the Fear and Greed index was stuck in the basement, and everyone was questioning if the utility of the XRPL would ever be recognized by the masses.
When I started this NFT collection, I promised to document every high and low with neon markers and ink. No AI-slop, just raw human energy. During those dark days in November 2025, the XRP price felt like it was under constant pressure, but the community on xrp.cafe stayed strong. We watched Bitcoin struggle and the broader crypto news cycle turn toxic, yet the builders kept building on the XRP Ledger.
It is easy to be a fan when the green candles are flying, but Crypto Diary #108 represents the grit required to stay in this game. That specific entry captures the moment the market tried to break our spirits. As a human artist, I feel a duty to record these cycles because the blockchain never forgets, but it often loses the human touch. My mission remains the same: to turn the XRP Ledger into the home of the world's most recognized and largest hand-drawn NFT collection.
Whether we are talking about Ripple news or the latest AMM features, the heart of this movement is the people who survived the Extreme Fear. We have moved past the 2025 lows, but the lessons from that diary page stay with me every time I pick up my pen to draw a new entry.
