Don't forget SHIBA INU. Before PEPE came into the minds of many, SHIBA was already in the scene. You can never go wrong with this "Dogecoin clone". With the Shibarium sidechain (L2) you can stake SHIBA, BONE, and LEASH for greater rewards. You certainly can't do that with DOGE or PEPE. The only downside of these "meme" coins is the huge circulating supply. It hinders their ability to reach higher market prices in the future. But their inexpensiveness is a great way to get into crypto without "breaking the bank".

No matter how hard other "meme" coins try, none will be able to surpass Dogecoin in market cap. After all, DOGE does have first-mover advantage. That one's a "keeper" for sure.
