$PEPE The real shib of this round PEPE brief history

Pepe is the king of Internet memes, its derivative emoticons and secondary creation art are overwhelming, and its emotional expression is rich, vivid and diverse.
Pepe is a mirror, and each of us can see ourselves through Pepe.
$PEPE is also a crypto star, becoming the third meme coin in market value in one year.

$PEPE , the third meme coin in market value in the entire chain, was issued in April 2023. Before this coin appeared, there were countless tokens called Pepe on various chains. According to incomplete observations, the number of dog coins with Pepe in their names or related to it is more than Doge and Shib. Pepe has always been a traffic password, whether in Web2 or Web3.

➊ Positioning: The $pepe project has a clear positioning, focusing on being a pure meme coin, focusing on capturing and spreading emotions, and not engaging in messy "empowerment" and NFT.
➋ Team: The project owner does understand memes, and must have studied Pepe's culture and history in depth. This is reflected in many details, such as the diversity of Pepe-related memes released is very good, which is not only due to the fact that Pepe's overseas community already has a very large artist community base, but also tests the project owner's understanding. The project owner's early operational response was very timely, and the interaction with other big names (such as Elon Musk) was of high quality.
➌ Startup: In the early cold start stage of the Pepe project, it received support from the Milady community. Project owner Z himself is also in this community. Analogously, when many KOLs launched their own NFT projects in 2021, many of them were BAYC holders, so it was much easier to start the project.
➍ Time point: In April 2023, people were generally still in a bear market atmosphere. The emergence of Pepe met the demand of "the market needs a big golden dog", and the timing was very good. One month later, Pepe was listed on Binance, and then experienced a callback of -85% for more than half a year, which won a good time and space for the takeoff in 2024.

Now, Pepe's trading volume on Binance has long exceeded the sum of $Doge and $Shib, and often ranks fourth on the entire platform, with only $BTC, $ETH and $SOL ahead. OKX's official account has repeatedly used Pepe as a meme picture by default.
