🐸PEPE ( Matt Furie's son)

Pepe the Frog

Pepe, also known as Pepe the Frog, is a fictional character created by artist and cartoonist Matt Furie. Pepe is depicted as a laid-back and chill green frog who first appeared in Furie's webcomic "Boy's Club" in 2005. Originally meant to be a positive and non-political character, Pepe's catchphrase "feels good, man" became a popular internet meme among various online communities.

Over time, Pepe's image was appropriated and repurposed in different ways by internet users, leading to numerous iterations and interpretations. Unfortunately, some of these uses associated Pepe with hate symbols and extremist ideologies, which caused distress to Matt Furie and led to efforts to reclaim the character's original positive intentions.

While Pepe's legacy has been somewhat tarnished due to its misuse, it remains one of the most recognizable and influential internet memes. The character continues to be a significant part of internet culture and has inspired various creative works, memes, and merchandise, even though its use and association with certain ideologies have been controversial.

$PEPE

PEPE is a deflationary memecoin launched on the Ethereum blockchain. The cryptocurrency pays homage to the internet meme "Pepe the Frog," created by Matt Furie and popularized in the early 2000s.

The project aims to capitalize on the popularity of meme-based cryptocurrencies like Shiba Inu and Dogecoin and establish itself as one of the leading memecoins. PEPE appeals to the crypto community by implementing a tax-free policy, rewarding long-term stakers through redistribution, and incorporating a burning mechanism to maintain scarcity of the PEPE token.
