🫠 #PEPE There has been a sudden surge in the popularity of the #PEPE token in the crypto space, which has grown 7500 times in just a few days. It is important to know:

- Most of the token supply is concentrated in just six wallets, each holding >1M$ #PEPE. This level of centralization is worrisome as the holders of these wallets can significantly influence the price of the token, potentially driving it down to zero due to the lack of available liquidity.

- It was observed that these #PEPE holders received their tokens almost at the same time, just four days ago. This unusual activity raises questions about possible coordination.

- History The trader who allegedly turned $250 into millions is circulating in the crypto community, further fueling interest in the token. However, this story may be carefully crafted marketing.
