Here's an interesting bit of crypto history worth revisiting: the creator behind the original Pepe artwork actually had zero involvement with the PEPE memecoin phenomenon that took off. Matt Furie's legendary cartoon character became a cultural icon in its own right within the crypto space, but the memecoin's explosive rise? That's a whole different story written by the community itself. Pretty wild how these narratives diverge, isn't it? The rest, as they say, became history. $MO

NGL Matt Furie, it's so frustrating to see this wave of memecoin hype; the stuff he drew has been completely distorted.

Honestly, Matt Furie probably never imagined that Pepe could become so wild. The community-created content is actually more intense than the original creator.

Haha, Matt Furie must be so speechless. His own artwork has been messed up and he still can't make any money.

Matt Furie must be so speechless watching Pepe coin skyrocket... The community is dreaming big, and creators are caught in the crossfire.

Honestly, Matt Furie never expected his artwork to be turned into something like this by the crypto community... The community is truly unbeatable.
