Hehehe, you made me laugh. Happy if you enjoyed it :)

To be completely honest, I shilled AVA first to trumpman, so I should say sorry because in some way I'm guilty xD

Don't hesitate, If I had to decide which portfolio allocation I'm giving to those coins, I'll be giving AVA a 95% weight.

I would only hold enough SXP to get the card that I want 300-3000 SXP is the sweet spot and I would only go with a 1% of the portfolio into BASE (coz it's a risk bet at this stage).

You don't need to Travel to benefit from AVA. If you stake up to 5K AVA you're getting 50 AVA/month with are completely withdrawable (~35$ at current prices approx).

Regarding the Travel credits, you can always save them for later and/or book for a friend/familiar. The points never expire.

Let me know if you need more info regarding AVA, I'm involved with the porject since January of the previous year and I've been helping them with the Spanish translation of the site (which should be coming soon though, still to be announced).
