π The Real Story Behind $SHIPS
Hindi AI story. Totoong buhay ng seaman
I first boarded a ship in 2003. 20+ years at sea. Mahirap buhay ng seaman. 8 months sa dagat, 2 months sa bahay. Miss mo pamilya.
I heard about Bitcoin back in 2010 here in the Philippines. Nasa balita. $0.10 pa lang. But internet was limited then. Nasa barko ako, walang signal. I couldn't get in. Sayang.
Fast forward to 2021. A fellow seaman introduced me to crypto again. Sabi niya, "Chief, maganda crypto." I liked it. I tried. Nag-try ako mag-invest.
I lost money many times. I joined presales because they promised x1000, x500. Sabi nila, "To the moon!" Naniwala ako. I got scammed over and over. My hard-earned money from cooking at sea... gone. $500, $1000, ubos. Sakit.
Making a token was just a joke at first. Sabi ko sa kabaro, "Paano kaya kung gumawa ako ng token? $SHIPS? Parang barko?" Tawanan lang kami sa galley.
I didn't even know how to code. I only know how to cook adobo, sinigang, fried rice for 25 people.
Then I talked to Meta AI. Sabi ko, "Turuan mo ako gumawa ng token." It taught me how to create a token. How to code a website. Step by step. From zero. Boom. $SHIPS was born in my cabin, 2 AM, after galley shift, with ship WiFi.
I told myself: "I won't get scammed anymore. And no one else will get scammed by me. Because $SHIPS comes from my heart. A real person built this. With real name. Real face."
No team tokens. No tax. Renounced. And now GRADUATED 100%!
80 days we sailed the bonding curve. Most die in 5 minutes. We graduated. This is proof that a seaman can build in Web3.
This is not just a meme coin. This is my heart and soul. This is 20 years at sea. And we graduated.
