Pepe had good hype months before and now situation is changed and focus is shifted to another altcoin. Even you mentioned the pepe price 4 months ago and still price is same even down more from the price you mentioned. That means if you already holding pepe, you aren’t in profit but in lose. I agree that people made profit from pepe during hype but hype is end and so pepe Isn't worth to invest now.
I think it's normal because looking at some of the shitcoin and meme coin cases all the schemes will be like that especially with the pumps done on Pepe before it was enough to generate profits for those in it so why keep trying to do something uncertain because in the end it will all be thrown away.
Right now Pepe will remain although there are some pumps that will be done but it won't be as big as before especially with the problems that happened to their internals actually what I believe is that this coin is just waiting to die and the developers will try to make another project to make the next profit.
