The year 2021 surprised the crypto community with a sharp increase in meme coins. With multiple DOGE copycats springing up in recent years, it’s no surprise that other meme coin projects wanted to join in. The Pepe Cash project was no exception, borrowing its likeness from the insanely popular meme, Pepe The Frog.

Pepe began its journey as a meme in 2005, first appearing in an online comic series by Matt Furie. Over the decades, and many new additions, Pepe the Frog has become one of the most recognizable memes on the internet. In 2016, during the election campaign in the United States, the meme circulated rapidly online. In that same year, Pepe the Frog appeared on the blockchain platform and emerged into a full-fledged cryptocurrency known as PEPECASH.

The global goal of Pepe Cash is to transfer meme-level assets into the cryptocurrency space. Utilizing blockchain technology, the founders of PEPECASH hope to improve and monetize so-called memes and digital art. Thus, Pepe Cash (PEPECASH) is a cryptocurrency for art lovers, invented for profit and just for fun. Rare Pepe cards are assets that have been developed using the Counterparty blockchain, and are stored on the Bitcoin blockchain inside BTC transactions. Users can buy and exchange digital artwork via the Pepe Cash platform.

Who Are the Founders of Pepe Cash?

It's rare for creators of meme-coins to present themselves openly and voice names of team members. In the case of Pepe Cash, the situation is no different: the developers work anonymously, but they actively maintain their Telegram channel.

The target audience of the project are collectors, artists and, naturally, investors. The currency doesn't have a clear business strategy. Instead, the project develops chaotically and grows on its own. Surprisingly, such a frivolous concept can pay off.

The Pepe Cash platform hosts weekly auctions, and users can easily find their first collectible wallet on the website.

What Makes Pepe Cash Unique?

Pepe Cash (PEPECASH) is built on the Bitcoin blockchain and works similarly. With the advent of the Pepe Cash meme coin, owners of rare Pepes can trade them for PEPECASH.

Artworks are created on Counterparty, and each Pepe has a digital blockchain token, which opens up an opportunity for exchange. Acquired Pepe Cash is a unique blockchain asset that is recorded on Bitcoin's ledger and stored on the blockchain in the form of transactions, with transaction hashes verifying authenticity.

The Pepe Cash platform is a decentralized storage of Pepe the Frog memes and illustrations. Any picture can be assigned a timestamp of authorship. Rare Pepe Directory has a formal application process-- all it takes is 200 PEPECASH and an original creation.

The Bitcoin system guarantees the value of PEPECASH, which reduces the risk of investment loss. Furthermore, there also exists the Rare Pepe Foundation. The task of the organization is to estimate the cost of a meme, which directly depends on its rarity.

Over the past two years, the price of Pepe Cash has jumped significantly, but the main direction of the project has remained unchanged - PEPECASH is purely for fun and entertainment.
