My Reason Why – $HEGE

So why did I choose HEGE?

Well, it all started as a classic Wall Street Bets story.

Over the last few years, I’d traded penny stocks and built up a 70k profit. After holding one stock, my portfolio dropped to a 40% loss with no sign of recovery.

I then sold out and entered crypto, where I learned of Kendu Inu. This was great timing, and I rode a quick run up turning my 40k into 100k over 5 weeks.

Excited for what could come next, I found a promising token called ape and sold my Kendu to go all in. Hooked by the fast crypto gains…

About a week later, after growing my bag to 120k, in the span of a 3-hour window on a Wednesday night, whilst sleeping, the dev rugged hard.

What I was left with when I woke up, was the realisation of my wallet showing $2000 left.

Devastated, I rotated this back into Kendu, hopeful to turn it around, but it was stuck in a downtrend and continued down.

Panicked, with what was now left, I had to think. Where do I start again?

I’d be taken on a rollercoaster of emotions, with these tokens, I tried trading on BullX, watching day trader YouTube videos and kept on losing.

I then heard of a new launch from the same Kendu dev and jumped into that, hopeful it would pump. Well… it turned out to be a farming project, where my 2k ended up dwindling to $250 after about 2 months.

Feeling lost, I remembered when shilling across Reddit and X, I always saw two projects apart from Kendu.

Powsche and Hege.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m a car guy, but I prefer my AMGs, sorry Powsche!

So, I started to investigate Hege, and what I found was very promising.

On first look, the memes were fire, with proper artists unlike the spam AI images meme coins have today, which was cool.

The stats were fire also, with no security issues, 9 months old, so clearly not a 1-week pump and dump, and even now, at a market cap of only $22M, the LP has 1.8M, 100% locked.

So, then I joined the TG.

The first thing I got was like 5 members being like oh hey! “Welcome, what doing” etc, which was a breath of fresh air.

I spoke with Chris (absolute Chad), who offered to jump on a VC and spent a good hour chatting, filling me in on the background of Hege, telling me about the plans, where I found out that Hege comes from its storybook, with chapters unlocked at certain market caps.

The story follows four characters Hege, Hegena, Hendrix and Helena.

For the next few weeks, I interacted with the TG and on X, saw more of the artwork, read through the unlocked chapters, and saw just the absolute legends in the TG, all while DCA’ing my way in.

I then found out about the Hegends NFTs. Hegends was an NFT launch, which not only offered something unique (again seeming to show that everything this community does is unique) as the Hegend NFTs pay out dividends to holders but also spurred holders to change their PFP to their Hegends, which is a cool way to show profile pictures across the TG and X.

So naturally I picked one up myself, and it’s pretty sick if you ask me!

I had just finished watching an NFL game, so when I saw only 1 in the whole collection listed with an NFL jersey, I knew I had to grab that one.

Since being around the TG, I’ve seen numerous competitions running, further providing value back to the holders and community. Raid and Shill competitions, artist competitions, writing competitions and more, where real-world holders are getting paid more Hege. How good!

We also had a massive announcement today, with future CEX listings and marketing in the works at a large scale, with a marketing budget now of $400,000. Yes, you read that correctly $400,000!

So, what does all this mean?

It means, that I now have faith again in holding my crypto bag. I have found a project where I enjoy being part of the Hege community and working for my bag. I trust the dev and the team and see daily, the hard work every holder puts in and see the future of running Hege to billions.

As always, DYOR, but for me, $HEGE is a strong contender for one of the top coins to run in 2025, and my eyes are set on that 1B MC and Beyond!

Until Next time Chads
