Pepe used to be known as a Saint. Everyone around the web used its pics as a symbol of love, trust and fun.

With a halo made of pixels and a smile that could brighten the darkest of comment sections, Saint Pepe was the embodiment of all things good-natured and chuckle-worthy.

But as with all stories that unfold in the digital world, change was inevitable.

One day, a group of developers decided to pay homage to Saint Pepe by creating a digital token in his honor — The Pepecoin was born! The internet rejoiced, and people from all corners of the virtual world embraced the new coin with fervor.

At first, Saint Pepe was delighted by the attention. He saw his meme magic spreading joy and wealth to everyone. Little did he know, trouble was lurking in the shadows of the blockchain.

As the days passed, the once-holy developers revealed their true colors and sold a big chunk of their wallets. The market responded in a way only the internet could: memes were generated faster than Pepe could blink, with captions ranging from “When you trust a frog with your finances” to “Pepecoin: From Saint to Shady.”

The value of Pepecoin took a nosedive that even an Olympic diver would envy.

The developers vanished into the digital mist, leaving Saint Pepe to face the wrath of internet denizens. The blame game was on, and poor Pepe found himself at the center of it all. “You led us astray, Saint Pepe!” they exclaimed, rage manifesting in hilarious GIFs and captioned images.

Saint Pepe, his meme heart heavy and his halo now resembling a dim disco light, pondered his fate. What was once a beacon of laughter had become a symbol of financial fiasco, a froggy cautionary tale for the ages.

Saint Pepe was sad. He got fooled. With time, he let the rage come from inside him and as time passed, his soul got darker and darker.

This is how DevilPepe was born.
