I noticed that Pepe dropped much more sharply than other meme coins. If Dog and others are falling by 50-60%, Pepe simply plummeted by 77% over a couple of months. Something is definitely wrong.
I remember when Pepe was the king of memes — a symbol of freedom, rebellion against the system, all that. The community was huge, people believed. And then political meme coins started, Trump, Melania, all that circus. The administration itself launched its tokens, then dumped them. A blatant pump-and-dump.
That’s what broke everything. People realized it was just manipulation. Pepe didn’t fall just like that — he became a symbol of how they were deceived. Trust evaporated. Now, when you see Pepe, the first thing that comes to mind isn’t freedom, but scam.
Inflation is rising, tariffs are squeezing like taxes, and the meme coin market has completely disappointed. Pepe has fallen, and it seems that recovery is just a fantasy now. Everyone has lost interest. Maybe this is the end of an era?
