Many people ask why I am confident in the continued growth of PEPE. Normal investors have long forgotten about this asset, but real money always comes from those who held BTC throughout the cycle.
Look, BTC holders have been incredibly patient. They didn’t play around with altcoins while Bitcoin was in focus. This is clearly visible on the BTC.D chart. In December 2024, there was a slight dip — right when PEPE hit its ATH. I overlaid the previous cycle’s pattern onto the current one, and it’s almost a perfect match. As before, before the big crash in BTC dominance, everyone said there would be no altseason, that crypto was dead. Then suddenly, everything changes.
When BTC revives, people feel that moment — they realize that time is limited. They want to rotate down the risk curve to maximize this period. But these aren’t normal traders jumping on the first hype. These are people who held BTC throughout the cycle. They rotate systematically: first ETH, then ETH holders who took profits move to beta assets.
This is where PEPE comes in. These patient players have seen countless pump-fun coins go to zero instantly. They held for years. They won’t buy dog shit dying in a day. They look for specific things: high volume, serious on-chain liquidity for multi-million rotations, presence on CEX, time in existence without crashing.
PEPE meets all these criteria. It’s not some new haven for normies — it’s the choice of experienced players. By all indicators in this cycle, it’s number one. The 24-hour trading volume is $14.28M, liquidity is sufficient for serious positions. The coin has survived several cycles, proven over time.
When such people start rotating, they don’t do it hastily. It’s a quiet but powerful movement of capital. And PEPE is exactly the asset they will choose.
