Meme Coin Millionaire Backs LILPEPE to Hit $1 Before DOGE and SHIB

A prominent figure in the meme coin space—known for profiting significantly from Dogecoin’s 2021 surge—is now backing a new entrant, LILPEPE, a token trading below $0.003 in its presale. He is bullish on its potential to reach $1 faster than Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB), despite the steep odds [1]. LILPEPE is currently in presale Stage 9, with a price of $0.0018 and over 90.7% of that stage already sold out. Each stage raises the token price incrementally, with the next stage expected to push the price to $0.0019 [1]. Early-stage investors have already seen gains of up to 80%, and current buyers can expect a 66.6% increase once the token lists at $0.003 [1].

The token’s roadmap includes 15 planned presale stages before the official launch. At present, LILPEPE has already raised over $14.5 million and sold more than 10.2 billion tokens, showing significant traction in a crowded market [1]. Unlike many of its predecessors, LILPEPE is built on a custom Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain, offering faster transactions, no transfer taxes, and enhanced security—features not commonly found in older meme coins like DOGE and SHIB [1].

DOGE is currently trading at around $0.22, still far from its 2021 peak of nearly $0.70. While some analysts expect it to reach $0.30 by the end of the year, it lacks the hype that once drove its meteoric rise. Similarly, SHIB has seen a recent dip, trading at $0.0000128, with a modest projected increase to $0.0000152. These trends suggest that neither token is currently capturing the same level of momentum [1].

What sets LILPEPE apart is not just its technological foundation but also the growing community around it. The token is already listed on CoinMarketCap, a move that adds visibility and legitimacy. Additionally, LILPEPE is running a $777,000 giveaway, where 10 individuals can win $77,000 worth of tokens by investing at least $100, further fueling interest and participation [1]. These incentives are helping attract not just large investors but a broader base of retail buyers, which could be critical for long-term price appreciation.

Some industry observers are speculating that LILPEPE could see a dramatic increase, potentially reaching $1 from its current price. That would represent a staggering 55,000% gain. While such projections are speculative and not officially endorsed by the project team, the underlying data—strong presale performance and growing market exposure—suggests that the coin has the potential to make a meaningful impact [1]. Whether it can surpass the performance of DOGE and SHIB remains to be seen, but the current momentum appears to be in its favor.
