I don’t really see PEPE as an investment.

To me, it’s a pure speculative bet.

And I’m completely fine with that.

Why I bought it anyway

I’ve been buying small amounts over time.

Nothing big. Just enough to have some exposure if things go crazy in the next bull run.

Right now I hold around 10 million PEPE.

The number itself doesn’t really matter — it just sounds bigger than it is.

My mindset going in

I’m not trying to calculate fair value.

I’m not expecting anything predictable.

This is how I look at it:

• It could go to zero
• It could spike hard in a bull market
• Nobody really knows

And that’s exactly why I keep it small.

Why I treat it differently

This is not like staking or liquidity pools.

There’s no yield. No structure. No consistency.

It’s closer to a lottery ticket than an investment.

But unlike random speculation, meme coins tend to move when the market turns euphoric.

That’s the only angle I’m playing.

Position size matters

The only thing that really matters here is sizing.

If it goes to zero — it shouldn’t hurt.

If it runs — it can still make a difference.

That’s what makes it an asymmetric bet.

No price targets

I don’t try to guess where it can go.

I don’t think that’s realistic with something like this.

I’ll just reassess if/when the market heats up again.

Until then, it just sits there.

A rough way I think about it

I don’t try to predict prices, but I do think about scenarios.

If the overall crypto market grows from roughly ~$2–3T to something like ~$10T in a strong cycle, and PEPE manages to stay relevant or move into a higher tier, that would imply a significantly higher market cap than today.

That could mean something like a multiple of current levels — but that depends entirely on sentiment, attention, and timing.

So for me, it’s not a forecast.

Just a way to frame the upside if everything aligns.

How it fits into my overall approach

Most of what I do is more structured:

• staking
• liquidity pools
• building positions over time

This is the opposite.

And that’s kind of the point.

Why I still include bets like this

Even though most of my portfolio is structured, I’ve found that having a small “high risk” bucket actually makes it easier to stay disciplined overall.

It removes the urge to constantly tweak the core strategy.

Instead of chasing higher returns everywhere, I can separate things:

- most capital = slow and consistent
- small part = optional upside

That balance has worked better for me than trying to optimize everything.

Final thought

I don’t think PEPE is “smart money”.

But I do think small, controlled bets like this can make sense — if you treat them for what they are.

Not investments.

Just optional upside.
