Buy Pepe

Pepecoin, referred to as PEPE, is a meme coin cryptocurrency. It's based on the famous "Pepe the Frog" internet meme, designed by Matt Furie for his comic book "Boy's Club." The coin is primarily used for crypto trading and conducting digital transactions.

After launch, a tight-knit community quickly formed behind Pepecoin, increasing the meme coin's popularity and subsequently causing the Pepecoin price to rapidly surge. In just three weeks, Pepecoin achieved a market capitalization of $1 billion, whereas Dogecoin, the world's first meme coin, took four years to reach the same market capitalization level.

Many meme coins are jokes or parodies, starting with Dogecoin. Most meme coins lack a fundamental user function, meaning that the value of meme coins like Pepecoin is partly influenced by the community behind the coin. Another characteristic of meme coins is that their price can react strongly to news reports. A meme coin like Pepecoin is, for this reason, more volatile than other altcoins, making it an interesting investment tool for many investors and crypto traders.

Who are the founders of Pepecoin?

The founders of Pepecoin are not clearly known. In the crypto world, especially for meme coins, it is not uncommon for founders to be anonymous. However, Pepecoin is supported by a team consisting of developers and enthusiasts dedicated to maintaining and improving the coin and the ecosystem.

Pepecoin stands out on several fronts from other altcoins and meme coins:

• Internet culture: Pepecoin is based on the internet meme Pepe the Frog, around which a significant culture has developed over the years. This means there's a history behind the PEPE crypto.
• Community: A large and vibrant community supports Pepecoin, showing interest in the culture surrounding internet memes like Pepe the Frog.
• Accessibility: As an ERC-20 token, Pepecoin is available on many decentralized exchanges. This accessibility allows crypto traders to buy and sell PEPE quickly and easily.
• Rapid market capitalization increase: Pepecoin's market capitalization exceeded $1 billion in just three weeks. Very few cryptocurrencies achieve this milestone.

Pepecoin can be used for various purposes, including:

• Digital transactions: Users can quickly and efficiently send PEPE tokens to others. This can be done via centralized exchanges like Bitvavo, as well as on decentralized exchanges (DEX) that support ERC-20 tokens.
• Investing and trading: High volatility makes Pepecoin popular among crypto traders who want to profit from trading.
• Community participation: Pepecoin offers the opportunity to join the strong online community supporting the coin.

Compared to many other altcoins, Pepecoin lacks fundamental use features. The team behind Pepecoin have indicated they are working on developing additional products and services that aim to give the meme coin more functionality. It is unclear what these products are and when they will be launched.

Pepecoin operates on the Ethereum blockchain and utilizes the ERC-20 token protocol. There is a maximum supply of 420,690,000,000 PEPE tokens, of which 93.1% were circulated at launch. The remaining 6.9% of PEPE tokens have also now been circulated, meaning all PEPE tokens are currently in circulation.

The coin features a deflationary mechanism that removes a small portion of the circulating tokens from the supply with each transaction through 'burning'. The developers aim to create more scarcity in the future, which could lead to an increase in the price of PEPE over time. In the burning process, a portion of the transaction fees users pay is used to buy PEPE tokens, which are then sent to a non-existent address to remove them from circulation.

Alongside the deflation mechanism, the developers have also created a system where a portion of the transaction fees is distributed among all token holders. This aims to increase user engagement and encourage long-term investments.
