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.
Timing is very important and if you missed the hype, better to look for another hot coin to invest, though if you have that trust
and you think this coin is still going to provide, then it's all to your judgement.
Pepe, have it before and like you mentioned, even you take it now with a lower value without any hype back then you might lose even more,
better to plan your investment if you are at this kind of risk. Always balance your target and check for a possible market pump.
