In short
- The Dogecoin Millionaire is now the Pepe Millionaire, after he had changed his Ethereum holdings for the meme coin earlier this year.
- Glaber Contessoto stood up to crypto recognition in 2021 when his Dogecoin Holdings $ 1 million exceeded.
- Now he also wants to become a meme coin billionaire with Brett and Floki.
Glaber Contessoto stood up to Crypto -Room in 2021 when he was considered what was the first ‘Dogecoin Millionaire” – A title that he proudly wore. Now, four years later, he claimed the title of” Pepe Millionaire “, while his Doge Stash has fallen slightly below that milestone level.
Share and verified with six wallets with Decode, Contessoto now has around $ 1.116 million of the Ethereum Meme Coin Pepe.
This is on top of his Dogecoin Stash for which he has become famous. Contessoto claims to possess 5 million doge, so that he would take place in the margin of $ 920,000 at today’s price. Doge has fallen almost 12% in the past month. And yes, he still has not sold a dogecoin –Although he would say he would do that.
Contessoto said he bought $ 100,000 from three meme coins in the spring of 2024: Pepe, Brett and Dogwifhat. Both Pepe and Brett have since increased in value, to his excitement, while Dogwifhat has fallen by 82% compared to its high reached high in that period.
Then, in February, Contessoto said that he held anger-quit Ethereum (ETH) because of the poor price performance in the previous months and all his tokens for Pepe exchanged.
‘[It was] Hundreds of thousands of dollars, “he laughed.” I had something like that, you know what? Fuck it. I sold all my ETH, sold everything completely and put it all in Pepe. ‘
With the price of Pepe 36.96% since the end of February, this was enough to greet contessoto as a millionaire in his second meme. But why Pepe?
“I think Pepe is probably one of the few other memes who are there in terms of how recognizable they are,” Contessoto told Decrypt. “Even if you don’t know the name Pepe, you’ve seen Pepe’s face. You’ve seen it somewhere on a forum, in a meme on Facebook, of course on Twitter, Reddit. Pepe just has such an iconic reach.”
Moreover, he likes that Pepe is more an edgy meme, especially in comparison with his sweet Dogecoin, who is rooted in family -friendly, healthy love. After all, an ordinary mantra among doge supporters is “doing only good every day.” Eventually, the Pepe Millionaire said, represents the meme internet culture at its deepest and darkest.
Pepe the Frog was originally made by artist Matt Furie, as part of his comic series “Boy’s Club” in 2005. But by 2016, the Anti-defamation The frog added to his database with hate symbols, in addition to logos such as the Swastika. This is because it was taken over by the alt-right movement with anti-Semitic and racist versions of the meme spread Over 4chan, 8chan and Reddit.
“Pepe should never represent that,” said Contessoto. “They took it and did what they wanted with it – but that doesn’t make the meme bad.”
In the 2020 documentary ‘Feels Good Man’, Furie tries to fight against his work that is used as a symbol of hatred by a series of a series Copyright infringementwhich he usually loses. However, an important victory was that the frog was used as a symbol of hope by pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong– What Furie loved.
“Pepe to [the whole world] Is recognizable, “added the Pepe Millionaire.” You have Pepe in all different languages. “
Contessoto does not want to stop there. Instead, he wants to become a millionaire in Meme Coins Brett and Floki too – he says both that he also invested $ 100,000. Being a meme coin millionaires in several tokens was not the original goal, he said, but now he has embraced the goal.
“It’s just a bit fun,” he said. “It’s my thing, I think.”
At the moment it is obvious to wonder where the Dogecoin Millionaire gets its capital, especially in view of the fact that he has never sold his doo -Fortuin. Contessoto explained that when he came up to Crypto -Room in 2021, he earned $ 10,000 a month on YouTube and at the same time worked a job to do voice -overs for music publication Hiphopdx.
“I just took that whole momentum I had in 2021 and tried to earn as much money as possible as I could,” he said Decrypt. “With that I had YouTube money, I had merch money, and then I had many things alone with the documentary that also happened. I got talks and we did impressions from the documentary at different locations -they paid me for that.”
Since then, he has also become somewhat a social media influencer who sells sponsored messages and has been paid to implement marketing campaigns for other projects.
The use of capital is the easy part, he said – Slelling is the real challenge.
Since his first purchase, Contessoto has held his Fortunes from Dogecoin and claims that he has never sold one cent. Earlier, in November, he told Decrypt That he was planning to sell Doge when he believed that Bitcoin reached his peak.
Bitcoin has since reached several high peaks, including the most recently in May, but he still has not sold because he believes it is still not the right time.
Will he make the same mistake again and keep his doge even below $ 1 million?
‘No, Bro, believe me, I’ll do it [sell]”Certessoto claimed.” I don’t go beyond 2025 without selling at least half of my dogecoin. […] I have never been around-drink shit again. It is not worth it, man – not worth it at all, bro. “
