Chris Blec and Other Crypto Analysts Call PEPE a Scam

Despite the massive success of PEPE, some crypto analysts still believe it to be a major scam. Since its launch in April 2023, the meme coin has grown to become one of the top 50 most traded cryptocurrencies. Compared to fellow meme coin DOGE, Pepe (PEPE) only took three weeks for its market cap to surpass $1 billion.

The meme coin has continued to gather popularity which in turn leads to a massive surge in its market activities. However, despite its quick success, many are still not convinced of the legitimacy of the project. Popular crypto analysts and top attorneys still believe the project is a scam.

Some experts who believe Pepe is a scam project

Some notable names in the crypto space including Chris Blec – Defi Watch Founder, CryptoLaw founder attorney John Deaton, and Yassin Mobarak – founder of Dizer Capital have given their “two cents” about the project.

Chris Blec in a Twitter post stated that PEPE did not accidentally happen, rather it was created by “big money, powerful people.” he further points out that retail investors are “pawns in a much bigger game.”

Similarly, CryptoLaw founder John Deaton reacted to Blec’s post by stating that he has been receiving tons of emails and messages asking what he thinks about the Pepe project.

Furthermore, Dizer Capital founder Yassin Mobarak also dropped a comment on Blec’s post obviously insinuating that PEPE is a scam. He asserted that the token is a “trojan horse” purposely designed to blow up the crypto market, comparing it to the bankrupt FTX.
