My opinion on why #PEPE will never reach $1 unless they radically change their strategy. Here are these 5 essential points for the price of $PEPE to reach #ToTheMoon🌕✨
Since its explosive debut in 2023, the PEPE cryptocurrency has captured public attention with its meme aesthetic, sudden rallies, and publicized burns. Many investors dream of seeing it reach $1 per token. But there is an uncomfortable truth that the community must face: PEPE will not reach that price if the team continues to manage the supply as it has so far.
1. Mathematically impossible with the current supply
PEPE has a maximum supply of 420 trillion tokens (420,000,000,000,000). If it were to cost $1 per token, the market capitalization would have to be $420 trillion, almost double Mexico's GDP and more than 10 times the total capitalization of the entire current crypto market (~$2.5 trillion in 2025). That is simply unrealistic.
2. The burns have been symbolic, not deflationary
The PEPE team has bragged about several burns, such as 6.9 trillion tokens in 2023 and 2024, but that represents only 0.0016% of the total. For there to be real impact, they would have to burn more than 99.99% of the supply.
Additionally, many of those burns have been countered by redistributions: tokens that are supposedly eliminated return to the ecosystem in the form of incentives, airdrops, or staking. That is not an effective burn; it’s like 'burning money in public and throwing it out the back window.'
3. There is no structural scarcity logic in the contract
Unlike coins like SHIB (which implemented automatic burns) or projects like ETH (with EIP-1559 that burns fees), PEPE has no structural mechanism for supply reduction. The only burn function is manual, and the team executes it sporadically to fuel the hype, not as part of a sustainable system.
4. What should the team do if they really want PEPE to rise?
If the goal is to push PEPE to more ambitious prices — without relying solely on marketing and memes — the team should:
✅ Redesign the contract with automatic burns
Implement a function that permanently burns a percentage of each transaction (as SafeMoon or BabyDoge does). This turns each buy/sell into a deflationary act.
✅ Remove redistributions that nullify the burns
If they burn tokens but then redistribute them among holders or developers, the effect is zero. A true burn implies that those tokens are destroyed irreversibly, ideally sent to an address without a private key (like '0x000...dead').
✅ Establish a transparent and aggressive burn schedule
It is not enough to burn 1 trillion every time the price drops. They need to publicly commit to regular and verifiable burns (for example, 50% of the supply in 12 months), and meet them with on-chain tracking.
✅ Reallocate marketing funds to direct burns
If they are spending millions on influencers, it would be better to buy PEPE on the market and burn it. That would directly impact the price and give more confidence to the holders.
5. Conclusion
PEPE has potential as a leading memecoin, but under the current strategy of 'theatrical burns' and unlimited distribution, it will never reach $1. To achieve this, the team needs to change its philosophy: from marketing to mechanism, from speculation to scarcity.
Burn for real. Redistribute less. And reduce the supply to reasonable figures.
Only then can one dream of higher prices. Otherwise, PEPE will remain what it is today: an expensive joke.
