The History of $PEPE. 🧵

II. "So... who was that guy?" Matt Furie introduced Pepe the Frog in his 2005 comic series, The Boy's Club, portraying him as a chill, laid-back character. In one strip, Pepe drops his trousers to answer nature's call, flashes a content smile, and says, "Feels good, man."

III. "Why... Pepe?" Though pronounced differently, the name "Pepe" evokes "pee-pee," aligning with the literal bathroom humor of the original character.

IV. In 2008, users began creating their own Pepe images on 4chan. Smug Pepe, Sad Pepe, Angry Pepe...

V. A turning point in Pepe's history occurred around the 2016 United States presidential election. Supporters of @DonaldTrump widely used Pepe memes, often portraying the then-candidate as the frog. In October 2015, Trump himself tweeted a "Smug Pepe."

VI. "What about $PEPE?" Launched in April 2023 with a supply of 420.69 trillion, $PEPE has no utility and no promises. It was introduced purely for the culture. And it did explode. :)
