Over a week ago I received a DM in Telegram from an acquaintance that read, “Just a heads up that PepeMAX launched…”. My eyes widened a bit and I jumped into the PepeMAX Telegram channel to check the group numbers, the vibes, launch buys, and any information I could find on the token contract. What I found was an extremely young project with fewer than seventy people in the channel. The holder numbers were less than a dozen at the time, and the market cap was ripe for an easy 2-3x. It was time to get my Ethereum loaded.

For the first time ever, I was a whale in an ERC project, and I didn’t break the bank.

I reached out to my Sip And Shill co-host with a DM informing him that I’d just been given a play on an ERC token with a market cap under $4,000. A week later, PepeMAX was on Crypto Sip And Shill.

THAT GUY Serving the Alpha

It was immediately apparent that our guest (THAT GUY) was living the 420 part of the $PEPEMAX 420 trillion token supply. It made for a fun time. Though he wasn’t a core team member, he stepped in to represent the project. He responded to the usual questions about his experience with crypto and general knowledge of the project.

A New Frog Emerges

PepeMAX is riding on the recent Pepe meme coin wave; a wave that has seen a number of tokens take on the “Pepe” name. In fact, this isn’t the first “pepemax”, but in my opinion, this version of PepeMAX appears to have the most promise. It is a clever play on the Pepsi MAX soft drink name, featuring the iconic red, white, and blue Pepsi logo.

It’s hard for new projects to build trust. Rug pulls are more common than ever, and 99% of projects fail. Listeners wanted to know if PepeMAX has what it takes to be in the one percent. The team took the usual steps to give the appearance of safety – renounced contract and locked liquidity. They convey the right messages in the community Telegram, and they’ve taken special care to design a pretty decent website. The memes are dope, and the community “YEE YEE” chant is infectious.

It won’t be an easy path forward, and the PepeMAX team expects some challenges. There have been a few profit takers, but the project continues to gain more traction. They are currently aiming to offer staking, but are in no rush. It’s only been a week since launch, and they plan to be around for a while. For the project, the current main focus areas are building community, exploring collaborations, and managing token supply. Once the short-term 31-day liquidity lock expires, they plan to relock liquidity for one year depending on where the project stands. Over 4% of supply has been burned, with another 1% burn planned when the token reaches $100k market cap.

Final Thoughts

It’s early, and I see tremendous potential for PepeMAX. The original 2-3x that I envisioned has grown closer to 10x. I’m still holding. The more I engage with the community, I see 100x plus potential. Watching the digits rise can invite greed, but I won’t lose my head. The team encourages holders to take profits, but do so responsibly.

Yee Yee to the MAX!
