📣 Response to the skeptical follower
"Saying that PEPE won't reach $1 because 'it's unlikely' is not an argument, it's an excuse.
You don't provide clear reasons, neither for yourself nor for the community. You don't mention who has control of the domain, nor what concrete contributions are being built.
You just repeat what everyone says who missed out on DOGE and SHIBA before the hype.
The crypto market is not driven by traditional logic; it is driven by community, narrative, and surprise. PEPE doesn't need your approval to embrace in its full glory what many consider impossible."
In response to your request, here is detailed information about the ownership of the PEPE domain and the team's contributions, followed by a response directed at the follower who questioned the viability of PEPE reaching $1.
🟢 Domain ownership and official presence
In April 2024, the team behind $PEPE acquired the domain Pepe.com, a significant upgrade from its previous domain Pepe.vip. This acquisition was managed by the firm Media Options and officially announced on its X account (formerly Twitter). Additionally, they secured the handle @pepe on X, strengthening their digital presence and brand.
🧑💻 Team and contributions
The founding team of PEPE has opted for anonymity, a common practice in the memecoin space. However, it has been reported that Zachary Testa is one of the founders, with a background in marketing and photography. In August 2023, an incident occurred where three former team members accessed the project's multi-signature wallet and diverted approximately 16 trillion PEPE tokens, valued at around $15 million.
Despite this setback, the community and new developers have continued to work on the project. Tools such as block explorers and tipping systems on social networks have been developed, and a stable infrastructure has been maintained with nodes in the U.S.
