Have to say that MTG is a terrible example as it is centralization to the extreme. All issuance decisions are controlled behind closed doors by WOTC, which is now owned by Hasbro.
You are right. Rare Pepes are made in the open and at least once they are created, no more of that card can ever be reprinted.
You really don’t have a clue, you’re pumping a joke coin, and the whole value proposition rests on the quality of the meme used for the basis of the joke, and you don’t get that, too blinded by greed. How can you seriously compare Magic cards as collectible assets to a pepe game that’s being hacked together after the fact to cash in on the 15 minutes of fame. There are literally hundreds of assets on NXT, Counterparty and Omni platforms, and anyone can create assets backed by ‘super computer’ levels of cryptographic power, so the only thing that makes Pepecash different is THE PEPE MEME.
Absolutely beta-cuckperson levels of untrue. Yes, Rare Pepes by definition feature Pepe. That should be obvious.
What you are completely ignorant on or choosing to ignore is:
To this day Pepe is the predominant meme on chans and the greater internet. Please go visit , change to Catalog and see how many instances of Pepe there are, unrelated to even Rare Pepe crypto assets.
Rare Pepes exist in a complex ecosystem with many rare cards, all listed on rarepepedirectory.com, and all intertwined with the Pepecash and XCP standards. There is no single asset anyone is trying to pump, no more than the original innovators of bitcoin were trying to pump it by giving it utility and value. These cards were created by the community, and are owned by those that create them. You can create your own pretty trivially and sell it for whatever you want!
The Rare Pepe game is being planned, developed, and crowd-funded as we speak. Theses Pepe tokens will take on a life of their own when people begin assigning not just art assets to them, but also gameplay features. The beautiful part is that it isn’t just one game that gets to do this – any number of games could use these tokens. Have you even taken the time to read the proposal? ()
Booster packs of Pepe Cards are live and working on the test net, with main net roll out planned in the near future – just as collecting Baseball cards was a valid pastime for many people, collecting rare cards created by the community is valid regardless whether or not you like the idea.
The only other legitimate XCP game asset currently with active development is Spells of Genesis, and Rare Pepes dramatically improve on the concepts they pioneered.
You are missing the grander point, which is a live demonstration of decentralized asset systems, something that has eluded all of humanity for a long time. This is something that has never been done before in the history of our species, and you are too busy calling it names to see why its unique.
No, I don’t actually think that you’re stupid, you just bought a bag of cheap Pepe, like Aeon, and now you’re looking for fools to dump on. The Aeon you bought was a good call, it has a great dev behind it, and great tech, but Pepe … it’s a con bro.
The things I buy tend to be good calls because I see through scams and hype, and can appreciate innovation and new ideas where others (like you) scoff. Aeon in 2015 didn’t look like such a good idea either, did it? Bear in mind there are many other cryptos which have increased in price dramatically in recent months that I continue to ignore. Do you know why? Because they are actual scams. Pepecash and Rare Pepes are doing new things in the art of crypto. I’m sorry you didn’t get involved months ago when it was practically free. I’m sorry you’re still too arrogant to get involved now. And I’m sorry for your likely inevitable continuing bitching and complaining all. the. way. up.
Do you know those cucks who whined and complained the whole time bitcoin was ascending, doing new and amazing things for decentralized value? Yeah, that is basically what you sound like right now. Check yourself.

We can agree to disagree, I think you will do well from your early bag, so congrats to you, and maybe guys buying today will make a good return also, but I just don’t think the Pepe meme has enough substance to sustain continued growth of the ecosystem for decades, eventually it becomes like any other fad and fades away. There are just so many more compelling memes and iconic pop culture rivals that can outdo Pepe, and will, and I’m not a trader jumping from asset to asset, I’m looking for long term investments that pay off for decades. I think you are sincere in your advocacy (probably), but after a pump or two Pepe is destined for obscurity. I would invest scarce funds in many other clones of Pepe, and I fully expect to in 2017-18, but this meme is weak, any game designed from it will probably also be weak, and sustained value for card collecting just wont happen. I might be wrong, but there are just better investments in this niche, and any sensible investor wants a diversified portfolio across all major categories, so comparing Pepe to other game based crypto alternatives is prudent, and imo there are much better investments in the gaming niche right now.
In these classes a wise investor knows he can’t take a large position in everything, so you pick the best one. We disagree which is the better game based crypto currently available, but comparing them in a speculation thread should be welcomed, and you suggesting it is not relevant and just spam is silly.

I come from a trading background. I’m in and out coins usually within 1-3 days. The most I’ll hold is maybe a month if I get stuck in a bad move. I’m very versed with scam coins. You just gota know how to play the right side of it. I’ve bought PutinCoin and other scams like that. The goal is to make quick money and hope you’re not the one that gets screwed in the end.
I’ll be honest, when I first saw the Pepe Graph almost two months ago I thought this was the case. An uptrend fad coin that I could make a quick buck off of. After reading up on it I was actually quite impressed, but still wasn’t thinking more than my normal play. I even created a Rare Pepe and sold it all to someone. I thought I beat the system and made an extra chunk of change selling some fake card.
A few days later after hanging out in the Telegram chat I realized something. This isn’t just some copy of a coin with a new name. It’s not someone quick pump and dump orchestrated by a few individuals. There is a real genuine community behind this project who are interested in collecting these cards. People are interested in developing games and other solutions for this coin. This was the real deal. I instantly made another card and regretting selling the full supply of my first one. I even ended up developing an auction site for the community to sell their cards on.
I’ve been trading crypto for over 5+ years now and have never come across a project with an idea and community like this. I’m proud to say that I’ve set aside a nice chunk of my trading funds to become an active member of the Pepe community. I see great things for this project down the road. It’s just getting started.
If this guy just took a day or two and hung out in the Telegram chat with the other 900+ active members I’m sure he would have a different opinion. It’s not that easy to understand without diving into it head first. It’s especially hard to grasp from such an outside view. I encourage everyone to not judge this project without doing some research, joining the chat, asking questions, and trying it out. This is something special.

Real talk. Glad you’re sticking around, Scuds. This is one of the most interesting and fun communities I’ve participated in in crypto, and if the whole ecosystem went to zero I would still be left with fond memories. Rare Pepes are something special for sure, these haters will hopefully eventually come around.

I heard Pepe mentioned in another thread. I’m top-heavy in btc and just one major alt (maybe you can guess which one from my handle), so it’s time I diversify, which requires doing some due diligence on alts, meme assets and so forth. I like the technical underpinnings that secure the Pepe ecosystem, such as cryptographically secure rarity. I looked at some of the Pepe cards, though, and the artwork on the ones I’ve seen is amateurish. I hope I’m not hurting anybody’s feelings by saying that. To Pepe enthusiasts, that probably doesn’t sound like a good reason to avoid buying the cards. I guess you’ve gotta be a Pepe lover to really understand Pepe. I’d still look at PepeCash as a possible investment.
Are you calling pepes like the following amateurish?
KEKVSMOLOCH
FUTURESPEPE
MODERNPEPE
FLAPPYPEPE
PEPEPONY
Initially, the community was small, and any pepes were accepted if someone took the time to make one and interact. As time has passed, submission guidelines have become more and more stringent, many of the recent series pepes are actually really cool. Sure, some are amateurish, but no one is forcing you to like them. I’m sure if you looked through the directory you would find at least a couple that you think are cool.

I understand everything you say above, and I fully appreciate there are hundreds of people in the Pepe community having a great time, and I think that’s really cool, I honestly mean that. For people who like making cards, and like Pepe meme, and so get enjoyment from collecting Pepe cards, joining the pepe ‘thing’ makes complete sense, and is NOT a waste of time or money. It’s a hobby, and you might make some cash, cool.
BUT, there’s plenty of people who don’t give a shit about Pepe cards, or a possible game, or how cool the meme is,, they’re traders who’ll buy and pump anything. Some of those guys might be like you and develop an appreciation for the meme etc, but I think the majority are cynical pumpers, like some who post here claiming Pepecash is some revolutionary financial product that’s going to change the world permanently in some way. That’s crap, pump talk from people trying to entice speculators who don’t care about the pepe cards, future games, community. That’s why Pepecash is bad investment, but might be a great hobby for a small niche of people.
I know a guy who started collecting Pokemon cards when he was a kid, and one day out of the blue he sold half his collection and bought a large house, with cash. That guy started collecting pokemon cards because he loved pokemon, like millions of people all around the world love pokemon. Pokemon has sustained interest from millions of people, for decades, that’s where the value comes from, it’s a byproduct of ‘real’ devotion from millions of people, like Star Trek etc I don’t doubt that there might be a few cynical pokemon card collectors who trade for profit but have no interest in pokemon, but I’d say over 90% of pokemon collectors love pokemon. I’d say 90% of people buying pepecash are speculators, same as with doge, so there’ll be a pump, then a crash, and the die hard hobbyists wont be effected too much, same as the people who still think doge is cool, but people who were looking for a long term investment will have their pants pulled down by the greater fool scammers.
See, I get very suspicious of guys who pump pepecash, but don’t seem to actually like pepe meme that much, they spin the financial asset hype jargon, and neglect that the whole ecosystem is a hobby for pepe meme lovers, or should be.

Now begins a remarkable moment. And it’s not just about the new ATH marketcap.
We have one of the first examples of a decentralized social structure emerging organically. A decentralized asset and game, rising up from the ashes of the constituent satoshi from which it was forged, becoming something more than the little bits and cryptobytes that make it up. We are talking about something for which we don’t have proper language to describe yet in English and any attempt to do so does a disservice to what it truly is.
Call it a decentralized game? It’s much more than a game. This an entire ecosystem of cryptotokens with a maze of value between them. And yet calling it a shitcoin or a simple token isn’t right either, because these aren’t some throw away token mined on a few desktop PCs like most blockchains – this is an asset built upon existing blockchain security. In fact, forget the game. This digital collectible can have a theoretically infinite tower of data structures and relationships built on top of it, the crypto-key only controlling the one thing that has eluded humanity for so long: the elusive concept of digital scarcity.
We could have scarcely understood it years ago as this tech first made its mark, but this is the dawning genesis of something much more than a block – this is the dawn of a new layer of civilization itself. And Pepe is here to help launch this concept. Consider what is happening all around you at this very moment – a random American teen and a random Nepalese teen can awake on the same day, spend some love and effort on a new Pepe card, register the asset, and within a day or so be selling their original intellectual property (created out of thin air) on the free market.
Can they make a fortune? No, not the day of the sale…. but remember that bitcoins were a worthless nerd asset too at one point. And similarly, individual Pepecash admittedly don’t hold a ton of value. But there is real value transfer happening – from nothing! This is the purpose of cryptocurrency! To generate work from humans in exchange, as that creates lasting systems. Fueled by the vast imaginations and efforts of a few dedicated collectors, programmers, artists, and entrepreneurs around the globe the Rare Pepe network has already risen up from the abyss to occupy a now THREE MILLION dollar market cap.
It promises nothing, save its own cryptographic security. It is we, the dedicated fans of Pepe, who are making the promise to ourselves: we will continue to passionately support and grow this ecosystem until milestone after milestone falls in our wake.
This is but the first ATH of many friends, and I am so happy to be here with you all from the beginning.
This post is all overblown hype and decentralised asset jargon, it’s not written by a hobbyist who truly loves the Pepe meme, it’s written by someone pumping the latest crypto craze. It’s not sincere, this guy wants to attract speculators, not pepe card collectors. I bet he privately thinks pepe meme is a load of horse shit.

lol u wut m8?
This is my public address, filled to the absolute brim with some of the dankest rares in all of the Pepeverse. You are welcome to try to assemble a better collection but here’s a spoiler alert for you: good fucking luck. I take extreme pride in my collection and tend the memes well.
I could make a strong argument for my address being one of the top five addresses in existence. Hell, the 1/1 unique cosmic-tier MYLITTLEPEPE does that. (That sale was the most expensive Pepe card sold on the DEX btw with a USD equivalent of $3500). See those 72 PEPESUS cards? I never made my own tribute card – someone else did and I spent $thousands acquiring as many as possible to give it some value. Feel free to admire the solid number of epic Series 1 and 2 godly-tier cards, including nearly a tenth of all RAREPEPEs themselves. I’ve spent a small fortune and a ton of time trying to build an amazing collection, and I know if I find it fun then others surely will too. Plus the advent of booster packs will soon make it much easier to build up an impressive assortment of rares. Finally, I’ve created several cards of my own and pledged most of the profits from sales to charity and crowdfunding.
Are you done getting BTFO or do you have anything else profoundly stupid you want to try to troll with?
Lets have a bet then …
I don’t think you are collecting these pepe memes because you like them, you’re doing it coz you think they’ll go up in value, and in 5 years when the speculators have moved on your collection as an investment will have performed poorly.
I’ll bet 100 bitcoins in 5 years Pepe cards performance as an asset will be shit.
Caring Currency Project – a Fun and Exciting opportunity to be happier, make more friends find meaning in your life and build your reputation as being Part Of the Solution (POS) in business, society… JOIN US, and make China and the world a better place.
(How China Saved the World)
How? Help us create, develop and share the “Caring Currency” ecosystem – a much needed complimentary and alternative ecosystem to the high stress, high pressure, low satisfaction lifestyles we are living today. Become Part Of the Solution, create a Caring Currency used in a Lifestyle Of Health, Happiness And Sustainability (LOHHAS).
Ecosystem?
We live in ecosystems – Cultural, Financial and Environmental…they’re all related and interdependent. Actually, everything is dependent on our Environmental Ecosystem, because without food, water and air there is no human culture or opportunity to do business and support the human world we’ve created. Caring Currency will fill the gaps and connect the dots, making our lives meaningful.
The BLOCKCHAIN
The BLOCKCHAIN is the brilliant underlying technology of bitcoin, creating a world-wide, peer-to-peer medium of exchange, accounting system with methods to store value. Build your reputation in a trustless system – no third party, but instead a face-to-face and peer-to-peer people-oriented platform. Caring Currency has priceless, special values – human values.
What about business? Show Me the Money…
Smart people realize that money is only money. You can’t eat or drink it. You can’t have a conversation with it, and as much as we need it and want it, it distorts our perspectives and controls our lives in many negative ways. The pursuit of money alone hurts us and the planet we depend on.
Caring Currency is a financial business on the BLOCKCHAIN – the home of the Republic Of Conscience.
Caring Currency is a New, Parallel World – in the Republic Of Conscience
Hard to define in old terms, nothing comparable to the Republic Of Conscience has existed until the connectivity of the internet and accounting of the BLOCKCHAIN made it possible… Old financial terms and structures that existed prior to the BLOCKCHAIN and bitcoin – Money, Security, medium of exchange etc. will be naturally updated to freely serve people around the world in new ways.
Freedom..
Although we live different nations, with all their opportunities and restrictions, we can free ourselves from those burdens by changing our attitudes, outlook and decision-making criteria. Caring Currency expresses the Freedom of our individual State Of Mind in the Republic Of Conscience.
FUN…and Education
With a variety of fun coin names like KuaiLeBi (Happy Coin) and DUCKeCOIN, Caring Currency is (1.) first meant to bring light-hearted fun and smiles to people’s faces and make their lives and relationships happier, and (2.) secondly, exercise the practice of giving back to society, building generosity, social cohesion and harmony. (3.) Thirdly, give the masses practical, technical experience with virtualcurrency, wallets and transferring values through the BLOCKCHAIN.
INVESTMENT
What is most important to you? Money or Friends?
I have a question for you… can you buy friends?
Some people think they can, but the quality of those friendships are always very poor.
However, you can definitely “invest” in friendship by INVESTING IN YOURSELF. (To find more friends, you must invest in learning to BE a friend!)
HOW YOU CAN LEAD A HAPPIER, HEALTHIER, MORE MEANINGFUL LIFE
Take CARE of yourself,
Invest in yourself…
YOUR NETWORK – Join the leaders of the new world based on the BLOCKCHAIN…
YOUR EXPERTISE – the BLOCKCHAIN is less than 5 years old, you know more than most people!
YOUR SKILL SET – this is your opportunity to experiment, test and try new things!
YOUR RELATIONSHIPS – improve your relationships by improving yourself.
YOUR WEALTH – build a fortune to live a secure and meaningful future.
YOUR AMBITION – Helping others reach their positive goals, will provide the platform and resources for your ambitions.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
We are developing a new way to “buy friends” and gain respect – winning their hearts and minds through appreciation and “gifting” through the Caring Currency ecosystem.
Some people call it “Pay It Forward” but simply put, we’re developing a system of quantifying, distributing and recycling our goodwill. Join us and learn more.
What we need: Your skills, passion and commitment.
The benefit to you… Participating with passionate people, where you will find inspiration to create your own state of mind, money-making businesses and spinoffs.
What you need to do – no experience necessary!
Show your courage, commitment and support – Send us a 3 Finger Photo of yourself, and a brief explanation of your skills and how you want to use your skills to create a Caring Currency for a better world. Don’t forget to smile_!/ By Philip McMaster PeacePlusOne_!/ on 2014-06-15 16:58:07
