🐸 Why some think “$1” narratives emerge:

1. Speculative hype & viral buzz — meme coins like PEPE thrive on social media trends, celebrity attention (e.g., Elon Musk renaming himself "Kekius Maximus") .

2. Whale buying and token burns — Reddit users point out only massive token burns could increase scarcity substantially:

> “ONE and ONLY way pepe can reach 1$ is if people start massively burning coins” .

3. Historical meme coin rallies — past gains of 600%+ in short timeframes feed belief that anything is possible .

Headed to $1? No—math and market cap alone make it practically impossible.

Short‑term gain potential: Modest growth of up to 100–200% possible (i.e., reaching ~$0.00002–$0.00003), driven by hype or whale accumulation.

Long‑term realistic: Could hit $0.00005–$0.0001 by 2030 in optimistic scenarios; more conservative estimates sit around $0.00001–$0.00004.

So, rather than dreaming of $1, focus on more achievable ceilings. That still offers significant upside—without the impossible math.
