I Bought 250,000 sats Worth of Rare Pepes
No, that’s not a typo.
That’s roughly 420 different Rare Pepes. Enough to fill a rare pepe wallet with stacks of Rare Pepes from 2016 - an asset the cryptoart community prices to near zero since its inception.
Most people would call it pepe madness.
But let me explain the thesis.
Each Rare Pepe is valued at the current rate of the memetic market - no matter how high Bitcoin climbs. That means every green frog time stamped in an OP RETURN locks in memetic magic for life, immune to NPCs.
Historically, pepe mania has risen steadily with the market - from negative zero in 2016 to just above zero now, a substantial increase. The creators burn some of these Pepes annually due to near zero demand, no KOLs, and declining memepool volume. They've proposed switching to Bitcoin SV and Ethereum, but for now, Rare Pepes are a time stamped rare relic in an abundant digital art world with rare provenance, and hilarious takes on the world at large. Created at a time when experimentation and fun was the motive- that’s super rare.
So what happens when meme art accelerates, or some knucklehead spends .00021, .0067 BTC or more per rare pepe?
These 2016 rares become the last batch of early artist-issued cryptoart at today's locked-in value of near Zero. They'll vanish from circulation as people hoard or burn them - just like pre-2021 Series 1 rare pepes did when NFT prices soared. Those who stockpiled are currently working in a McDonalds.
My 250,000 sats position, therefore, isn’t a “hobby.”
It’s an asymmetrical bet that Rare Pepes will outpace the dollar, that physical galleries endure in a digital age (think Pepes In Paris, playing cards, and paintings), and that a stack of rare pepes will one day buy me a rare pepe themed bathroom with a rare pepe sculpted toilet that acts as a frog spitting bidet.
Worst case? I still have worthless Rare Pepes, backed by the full faith and insanity of early memetic art, made by a group of degenerate gamblers who stumbled upon generational zeros.
Best case? Rare pepes double, triple, or get a wing in the White House - making the existing supply deflationary and far more valuable to collectors, kevins, and anon whales alike.
It’s not bonds, it’s not gold, it’s not even envelopes.
It’s 420 rare digital meme art works in a Bitcoin wallet that proves how alpha a collector one is.
That’s deep value.
That’s the Rare Pepe Standard.
