This is a well-reasoned and realistic
🔢 The Numbers Don’t Lie
Current Price: ~$0.0000098
Total Supply: 420,690,000,000,000 ($420.69 trillion tokens)
At $1 per PEPE → Market Cap = $420+ trillion 🤯
That’s more than 4x the global GDP and 400x the current total crypto market cap (~$2.5 trillion as of mid-2025).
Even if 99.76% of the supply was burned and only 1 trillion tokens remained, $1 per token = $1 trillion market cap, which still rivals Bitcoin and Ethereum combined.

💸 The Realistic Ceiling
$0.10 per PEPE = $42 trillion market cap (still delusional)
$0.01 per PEPE = $4.2 trillion market cap (far-fetched, even long term)
$0.00009 (cutting one zero) = ~$38 billion market cap
That’s closer to DOGE or SHIB at peak hype, which is more plausible during a massive bull run.

🔥 Can Burns Save It?
Token burns can help reduce supply only if:
1. They’re consistent and massive
2. They’re tied to high on-chain utility or user engagement
3. They don’t kill liquidity or market function
But PEPE has no burn mechanism baked into the contract like some deflationary tokens. So unless the devs start a huge manual burn campaign (which would also raise legal and decentralization concerns), the supply will remain gigantic.

🚀 What’s Actually Possible?
Given meme coin history and hype cycles:
$0.00009 (1 zero cut) is possible during peak altseason
$0.0005+ would already put PEPE in top market caps, rivaling top altcoins
Anything beyond $0.001 is not impossible, but incredibly unlikely without a burn, real-world use case, and meme culture staying red-hot
---
🔮 Bottom Line
You nailed it:
> “Maybe $0.01 is theoretically possible, but not anytime soon — and definitely not before 2030.”
That’s a much more rational outlook than the “$1 EOY” crowd. PEPE is pure meme-driven speculation. It’s already pulled off an insane run — and if it can hold four zero territory and remain in the public eye, that’s a huge win by meme coin standards.
