Why objectively speaking, $PEP is a better bet than $PEPE. TIPS: This is not financial advice.

Let's talk about market capitalization:

$PEP has a market cap of less than 30 million dollars. $PEPE has a market cap of 7 billion dollars. For reference, the market caps of ETH and BTC are 400 billion dollars and 1.9 trillion dollars respectively.

Now let's assume you have 100 dollars of disposable income to gamble with, and you want to turn it into 1000 dollars. If your market cap can grow, you will make more money. So, if the market cap you are betting on has a lot of room for growth, you are more likely to turn that 100 dollars into 1000 dollars. If you bet that 100 dollars on ETH, it won't turn into 1000 dollars of ETH unless ETH's market cap jumps to 4 trillion dollars. Remember, BTC's market cap is 1.9 trillion dollars, so how likely is it that ETH will grow more than BTC?

$PEP has very low fees. I remember the last time I transferred 300,000 PEP, the transaction cost me a total of 0.002 PEP. Have you seen the fees for $PEPE? It is on the ETH chain, which is known for high fees. In short, betting on $PEPE is only worth it if you already have a lot of money.

$PEP has greater room for development; it is a real currency with its own blockchain, rather than a token on another currency's blockchain. Trading with it is very cheap. For me, choosing between $PEP and $PEPE is like choosing between a flawless diamond and a piece of glass.
