Shitcoin Legend: My AVA Journey
At three in the morning, I stared at my phone screen, my finger hovering over the sell button. I just couldn't bring myself to press it.
Three days ago, AVA was hovering around $0.29. That day, I came across a post on Binance Square saying the project was building a decentralized AI data network, had a solid team, and a market cap of just a few million dollars. I’d just lost a chunk of money on ETH and had only 3,000 USDT left. I thought, I’m losing money either way—might as well take a chance.
I bought in two batches: 1,500 USDT at $0.30, then another 1,500 at $0.295. I regretted it as soon as I bought. The thing was trading only a few million dollars a day—if I wanted out, I might not even be able to sell.
The next day, AVA fell to $0.28. I opened the group chat. Someone said the project team was dumping; someone else said people were shilling it everywhere. I tossed my phone aside and told myself to think of it as tuition.
On the morning of the third day, the notification sound woke me up. I checked and saw AVA was up 15%. I thought it was just a bounce and didn’t pay much attention. At noon, I checked again—it was up another 10%. By the afternoon, the price had broken through $0.38. People in the group started calling for a $1 target. My heart was racing, but I still didn’t sell.
Today, AVA surged to a high of $0.4375. My account was showing more than 40% in unrealized gains. Three thousand dollars had turned into over $4,200. I know that’s not a huge amount, but for a retail trader who’s been losing money in crypto for three years, it means a lot.
I finally sold half at $0.41. Taking profits off the table—that’s a lesson I learned through countless liquidations. I plan to hold on to the rest. What if it really does reach $1?
A friend asked how I picked AVA. I said luck. But it wasn’t luck. It was something I learned after losing enough: when others are skeptical, take a small position and bet on a narrative that at least makes some sense.
Crypto has no shortage of legends. What it lacks is people who survive to tell them.
