However, it’s difficult to say whether this up move in Pepecoin will sustain going ahead considering the massive price surge already over the last three weeks. Popular crypto trader Bob Louka notes:
Seeing people call tops in these meme coins like $pepe because MCAP, is comical. They have no intrinsic value, so they’re technically worthless and also technically priceless! Respect the pumps! Respect getting dumped. I’m not in any, but damn can appreciate the culture.
